AMD Radeon Vega 64 with a Ryzen 1300X processor experiencing frame rate drops in *Battlefield 1*.
The processor is operating at 97% capacity across four cores, indicating it's insufficient, even after overclocking. It’s time for an upgrade. You could potentially reduce the physics settings to low and manage with this CPU for a 64-player experience, but that would limit features like ragdoll effects and elaborate visual simulations.
That’s likely your processor, and the most effective approach to resolve this issue is to enable vertical synchronization while reducing your frame rate accordingly. This will prevent excessive strain on your CPU. Nevertheless, upgrading to an R5 2600 or 2600X would be the optimal solution.
Justin Beauvais states that the core issue likely stems from the 1300X processor. While not a deficient chip, it may lack sufficient processing power to adequately support the Vega 64 and manage demanding multiplayer games like Battlefield 1. The significant CPU load presented by these titles can strain the processor, potentially leading to performance limitations even with a stable overclock. A potential factor could be insufficient power delivery due to the PSU; however, given that the CPU is operating near its maximum capacity, a CPU bottleneck seems more probable than a graphics card problem.
Upgrading to a processor such as a 1600 or 2600 would likely improve performance considerably. Alternatively, acquiring a 1500X could provide benefits from Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) with its four cores, although six-core processors offer better value given current pricing and the ability to purchase a 1600 for less than a 1500X.
