Ok, so this might seem like an odd place to post this, but I was looking at building a budget 1080p gaming PC (the usual, either R3 1200/G4600, GTX 1050Ti, etc) for a friend of mine who has been on Xbox since... I want to say the very original?
This got me thinking. We all know that BF1 can stutter quite badly on a lower clocked dual core w. hyperthreading or true quad (i.e. i5 prior to Coffee Lake or Ryzen 3). It's a title that scales very nicely with multiple cores.
That said, it's not the hardest game to run, but we all know the console versions have some fairly major graphical compromises (that said, they still look fairly decent).
I know a 1050ti is a fair way better than what the base PS4 and Xbox One are packing, but I was wondering if anybody knew whether the console versions are GPU bound, or CPU bound?
I want to say GPU, but those slow/older Jaguar cores from AMD can't be helping matters.
I wanted to give my friend a better than console experience for not much money, but I'm really not sure if an R3 1200/G4600 + 1050Ti will be any better, if he's just going from one GPU bound version of the game to a CPU bound version? I am in no position to really make a judgement call on this, as the 'lowest' end PC I have played BF1 on still had a 6700k and 1070.
Really not sure on this one!
