According to the official system requirements, gamers should be able to run Battlefield 1 on Core i5 6600K. Of course, these are the minimum requirements, if you have an i7 processor, that’s even better. However, many gamers report Battlefield 1 literally drains their i5 CPUs. It appears this issue also affects i7 processors as well, particularly overclocked i7 CPUs. As one user points out, Battlefield games have been known to be taxing on CPUs. The same issues were reported on Battlefield 4, and judging by gamers’ feedback, Battlefield 1 is no exception to the rule. Any CPU lower than a 4790k will get maxed out, regardless of what GPU gamers have. Many Battlefield 1 fans say they don’t really understand why EA/DICE took this decision in regards to CPU types, since the 4690k is the most popular gaming CPU out there. Surprisingly, there are many gamers who run Battlefield 1 on sub-medium computers without any problem. All in all, gamers’ reports confirm indeed that sometimes Battlefield 1 causes high CPU usage and most likely this is due to a game optimization bug. Battlefield 1 fans hope that the first patch for the game will address high CPU usage issues, but for the time being DICE has yet to issue any comments on this situation.
