Hello everyone. I've been playing battlefield 1 lately and noticing sub-par performance in certain maps.
I have everything maxed out except AA, which is off. Not running dx12, as I'm still on windows 7.
I'm not a fool, I realize my card is getting on in the years, but I was sure, and heard others say, that it should be good enough for 1920x1080 res. It seems it is not. Some maps are dropping to the 30fps range.
Singleplayer, so far, runs great. Normally I would assume this was an indicator that the online component was causing this, or perhaps my cpu is bottlenecking my card, but this is not the case.
I fired up rivatuner and HWinfo to see exactly what was going on. In the maps where I get the lowest performance, all eight of my threads fluctuate between 75 to 90%, the gpu load, however, is maxed out 100%, 100% of the time. The vram allocation never seemed to exceed 2.5GB. So I've come to the conclusion that my gpu just can't churn it out like it used to, even at 1920x1080.
I thought, especially at my modest resolution, this card would be good for longer than this. Could something else be causing my card to max out like that? Perhaps the game just isn't optimized well enough
to utilize my card properly? I hope so. I really don't like upgrading my cards every generation. My last card was a 680. I was planning on upgrading on the next generation of cards, as most of the time the slight performance increase between consecutive generations aren't enough to warrant the cost, though I have heard the 1080 is quite a leap from the 980.
My specs are:
i7 3820
Evga GTX 980sc
16GB ram
Asus p9x79 deluxe
Corsair TX850m PSU
