i3 6100 not good enough for BF1

[Drake5]

I have an i3 6100, 470, 16GB DDR4 RAM and on high settings my CPU usage is maxed and I'm getting a lot of FPS dips

Will I get better performance if I buy a 6600k and leave it at stock? Won't be able to overclock it straight away

Try running it in DX11 if you haven't already

I'm not kidding, the new Intel chips being released in Feb are the biggest worthwhile leap weve seen in years. Be patient.

Going from a dual core CPU to quad core will always help in any game released in the past 5 years.

An i3 CPU isnt even part of their minimum requirements, never mind recommend.

The minimum spec:
OS: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
Processor (AMD): AMD FX-6350.
Processor (Intel): Core i5 6600K.
Memory: 8GB RAM.
Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB.
Graphics card (Nvidia): Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB.
DirectX: 11.0 Compatible video card or equivalent.

Nope.

lol BS then because an i3 6100 destroys an 6350.

How can you say that when what we have seen so far is just another tiny jump in performance?

You have an Z170 board?

The i3 always does well when it doesn't actually need to do any work. However online the dual core i3 will struggle a lot more than the 6 core FX-6####.

@ OP, at this point your only option is an i5 since you can't even overclock that miserable i3.

Prove it.

If he has Z170 he can overclock.

 

[Mrjobby]

Since BF3 its been a game that really needs a quad core on large maps due to the number of players.

Dualie just ain't enough grunt.

So what are you saying, the devs are lying about their game's system requirements? You take fanboyism to new heights.

To answer the OP, a 6600K, even at stock, should be a good upgrade for this game.

 

[humbug]

Prove it.



If he has Z170 he can overclock.

What with a slide? no one benchmarks the real world performance of CPU's, such as online gaming.

Its just experience and common sense, that knowledge one has beyond reading slides.

A few % BLK overclock isn't going to help that i3 either, he needs to drop an i5 in it.

Yes, you telling me the most expensive i5 is he minimum CPU required? don't be so gullible.

No proof then.

Well its obvious, the OP is saying their i3 isn't performing in a game which does not meet the games minimum requirements. What other proof do you need?

This is Battlefield 1 we are talking about not no 2D indi title from 3 years ago.

This is Battlefield we are taking about not no 2D indi title.

Plenty of people playing fine with an i3 and 3000mhz mems.

Er, the OP in this thread has said himself that his i3 is struggling, and the devs say the minimum spec is an i5. Case closed.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Devs full of ****. Op needs to configure his PC better.

 

[malachi]

Well they must be lying as the OP has clearly stated his i3 doesn't work well with this game.
