Performance problems in Battlefield 1 affect gameplay smoothly.
It seems the issue won't be resolved easily. The game runs smoothly but heavily relies on the CPU, especially during multiplayer. An i7-4790K would be a better choice than an i5 now, since it avoids needing upgrades to the motherboard and RAM. You might also consider increasing the resolution to 2560x1440p with Nvidia DSR, though this will reduce frame rates noticeably. Make sure you're aware of the performance limits—it's consistently at full capacity, as seen in a recent video from someone using an i5-4670K and GTX 1060 in BF1.
Check Reddit once more. Search for Reddit BF1 CPU usage tips. You'll see numerous suggestions popping up. Most of them, it seems, are helpful. It's wiser to follow what others are discussing.
I don't recognize that phrase. Let me know if you'd like to rephrase or clarify it.
With sufficient thermal and voltage margins, I’d aim to go further and reduce the limiting factor.
Review overclocking instructions quickly. Increase multiplier and voltage only if thermal limits allow (cooling works well) and voltage stays under 1.4V.
