The CPU thread thing is normal. on a 4 thread CPU it should be '4 threads with 3 threads used' 25% of threads are in reserve for back ground services outside of the game, mine reads '6 with 4 in use'

I'll need to look into this for my own sake then, mine reads 8 with 4 when it should be 8 with 6 then?

Save your oc as a profile in the bios and then you can reload if running at stock / lower oc doesnt fix it.

Update:

CPU is high but ram is almost maxed?

Techen · 4 May 2014 at 19:21

I give up, Changed CPU clocks stock to OC, No change, Managed to free up ram with no change. Windows mode and full screen.

Full screen is okay and theres less FPS drops but there worse than windows mode.

Am going to settle this and say Mantle is just terrible at the moment and since BF4 is one of the only games that has it. Its pretty annoying. I'll go stick with BF4 DX11 with 60fps with twin 290xs :/ Better than nothing I guess.

How have you managed to use so much system ram? I'd that is the source of the problem.

I fixed that, Now sitting at 6GB, 2GB spare and still have problems. So its not that. Its just AMD's drivers, No shockers!

Running fine here on 14.4. What's your Battlelog/Origin username? I'll add you and we can go into the same server and snag some screenshots and compare.

Do you have the iGPU of your 3570K enabled? This is all starting to smell a bit like an iGPU memory leak.

Also 2 high end cards + 4 thread chip + DX11 = a bad time.

What is iGPU?

Integrated GPU on the CPU, think its called lucid or something like that on Ivy.

Why would I need that if the CPU isnt rendering graphics? :S
