BF V(5) MP CPU ulilization

Are we finally reaching the promised land of:

"just wait, when devs start optimising for more cores that **insert high core count, older cpu here*** will be amazing"

The one that random forums peeps have been talking about for years now.
Definitely feels like it - about time too...

Now, when are these 9700k's being released again :D
 
I want to see a 5Ghz 8700K and a 1080TI on a full 64 Man Map Highest Fidelity 1080P, come on Gavin get recording.

Don't forget the to hold Tab, and show the graphics settings at the beginning of the recording.

What do you want me to record with? I can do that. At work till 8pm though.
 
What 2 FPS? yeah it was Ram speed....

I'm genuinely trying to figure out why so low lol. Can't be GPU. No agenda here...
Edit* I didn't read your report along with that video, my bad.
You can use the benchmark figure on afterburner to show highs and lows etc on screen. Aswell as a frametime graph to help pinpoint slowdowns.

The video linked below is the actual benchmark here, its 13 minutes of Gameplay on a full 64 man server, its not camping away from the action, its me playing the game as anyone would, Highest Fidelity 1080P.

Average framerate : 78.4 FPS
Minimum framerate : 46.3 FPS (caused by Sutter, actual is 55 FPS) see reasons below.
Maximum framerate : 123.1 FPS
1% low framerate : 21.3 FPS (mmmm no, because i was recording it?)
0.1% low framerate : 2.0 FPS (lol)

Couple of things to note about that, the 46 FPS min didn't seem right to me, i never saw that in the game and i know all it takes is one stutter glitch to knock out a result like that, so i had a look for it, sure enough its the result of a lag stutter at 3:26, its the only time it happened, however i want to know what the actual Minimum Frame rates are, so i watched the FPS counter back in the video for 13 minutes :D there are two or three occasions where the frame rates go as low as 55 FPS without any stutter. so that's what i'm going with.
The 1% and 0.1% lows, yeah again that never registered on the counter which updates once a second, so i'm putting those down to stutter, perhaps writing to disk from recording it?

Again this is the run from that benchmark, unlike a lot of large reviewers i have provided the data for you to scrutinise.


PS: for most of it my GPU is the bottleneck, i'm thinking about a 720P run.

Looks pretty decent. What is the gun play like?

I like how you shot the guy on the 5 pounder a few times to make sure :p
 
There is a massive difference reported on FPS even with people on similar hardware. Makes me wonder if the people claiming higher are playing on a low populated server or sniping from afar. If you are running round with explosions etc going off that will tank the frame rate.

I was surprised too since I wasn't expecting a GTX970 and Ryzen 7 to do so well in BFV, but I was on a high pop server and FPS was really good. But I noticed the same with BF1, it ran really well on the GTX970 and the 2600K I had at the time, unexpectedly well. Maybe because the GTX970 is still one of the most popular GPUs (as per steam statistics) they optimise for it proper? They do have memory restrictions in place which does indicate they have GPUs like the GTX970 in mind.
 
Using a temporary 780 it runs between 30 and 50fps avg @ ultra . with everything on low inc textures I get close to a 60 avg . doesn't seem massively scalable to me
Also at 1080p? The 780 TI should be on par with my GTX970 but you're getting lower fps for some reason.
 
Maybe BFV is geometry or memory bandwidth heavy? Maxwell had some pretty big improvements over Kepler in colour compression and geometry engines, but otherwise the 780 Ti should have been on par.
 
He's been playing all day pretty much, smooth as. Maybe something wrong with your setup? I rebuilt his sys and re-installed his h/w, so I know it was done right.

I was playing in a server with a guy who had a 6600k earlier, said he couldn't get above 20fps no matter what res he used. I wonder if something else is going on....
