Battlefield 4 Frame Rate Issue

[DanTRG]

Hello everyone

So I have recently decided to upgrade my PC a little bit to play all the new upcoming ''nextgen'' games. My old setup was:

• Motherboard: GIgabyte Z68XP-UD4
• CPU: i7 2600K (stock speed)
• RAM: 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
• HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
• GPU: MSI GTX 580 3GB

I have played the BF4 beta on medium and I was getting around 60FPS on medium.

now I've upgraded to:

• Motherboard: MSI Z77 MPower
• CPU: i7 2600K (stock speed)
• RAM: 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
• HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
• SSD Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB
• GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 2 way SLI
• PSU: OCZ ZX1250W

So the problem is that I'm not really happy with the performance I get in Battlefield as my FPS drops down to 30 sometimes (ranges from 30 to 130 when I look up in the sky). Overall I get a huge jumps in my frame rate and from what I have read people run BF4 on similar rigs on ultra and get around 100FPS. I have tested both of my GPUs separately to see if one of them is maybe faulty but they work fine.

This is the usage when I run SLI

Can my CPU bottleneck the GPUs? Is this some driver issue? Please help!

Here is my CPU usage http://imageshack.us/a/img30/7574/utv1.png

Have you tried VSYNC OFF in game and ADAPTIVE VSYNC ON in Nvidia control panel ?

p.s I wouldn't take too much note of BF4 atm, it's plagued with issues

Key ommision is O.S. BF4 works great under Win 8.1.

Also what res are you playing at?

and 8.0

BF4 has issues, but not like that. I suggest monitoring gpu usage and OC that 2600k till it screams.

I have a 2600k and - 7970 and when it works, Bf4 averages 70fps on its highest settings.

Although my 2600k is at 4.5 Ghz.

and 8.0

I dont think Win 8 has the Dx optimisations in it that Win 8.1 has for BF4.

Tried that and it doesn't help

I'm playing on 1080p and my avrage framerate is similar to GTX670.

Sorry I think this is wrong. Win 8 has DX 11.1 which is used. Win 8.1 has dx11.2 which isn't.
