Buy?

I got a free SSD drive I use as a cache, If it sucks, doesn't do anything I just format it and go back to Windows 7. Saves dual booting and keeps windows 7 handy

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

BATTLEFIELD 4 is SUPER SUPER smooth on Windows 8, Ive just tested it myself and it's like a completely new game.

Windows 7 IS the cause.

Oh and I have Windows 8 looking like Windows 7 with Start Button

I am running around with every setting maxed in game and in nvidia CP, all is good then all of a sudden, for about 20 seconds, it will go down to sub 5 fps. I have no idea why. I am wondering if it happens on the actual server - but others don't seem to have the lag spikes. I think for now I am going to put it on low and concentrate on getting my unlocks!

That's what mine was doing!

By the way might be worth you trying New (Unoffical) AMD/Nvidia Displayer Uninstaller : DDU

and then installing the latest beta drivers again, some have fixed those drops with that. Others like myself had to go to Windows 8

I wonder if upping my RAM from 8GB to 12/16GB may help?

No!

Try the tweaks mentioned in op, otherwise Windows 8 may help you being as you are on an I5

Yep, Win 7. I've got an SSD caching my mech drive which is where BF4 is. Aside from that, nothing else special going on. Everything at stock.

Same as me, ended up going Windows 8 and perfectly happy which I wasn't on Windows 7

I'm using Start8 so it looks like Windows 7 anyway, none of that Metro ****

nothing wrong with i5s lol . they are getting same fps single cards as 4770ks lol.

win8 yes does improve but a i5 is fine . my performace on win7 was fine just better on win8. might be nvidia for you niel but you do have problems on any game nearly at setter level !

Incorrect and old, you're still using the same joke from the Q6600

.
You were wrong about Windows 7-8 as well

I also have an I5 and didn't say anything was wrong with them, again incorrect

Windows 8, i5 2500k 4.0 and 7950 CFX, running relatively bad, using about 50% of each card.

You should be able to get atleast 4.5 or even 4.6GHZ out of that i5 2500k!

Cheers Skeeter will edit OP!

Neil79 · 6 Oct 2013 at 12:53

I might take out 30/60fps though as not everyone wants to stick at that

Neil79 · 6 Oct 2013 at 12:57

SkeeterUK said:
Could tell them to put the number they want int i.e 30 if they want or 60 if it works or 120 if they need it for 120mhz monitors. Just a useful fps cap command to know.

Already done

Neil79 · 6 Oct 2013 at 16:22

Make sure to up date your punkbusters manually

New Version today

Neil79 · 6 Oct 2013 at 21:00

Those CFG tweaks have made a further improvement, barely drops at all now

Neil79 · 6 Oct 2013 at 21:48

Haven't heard of VIA for a very long time, that takes me back

Neil79 · 7 Oct 2013 at 12:23

Thanks for telling us what's already in the op

Neil79 · 7 Oct 2013 at 20:22

Patch seems a little worse for me in terms of lag!

I also HATE it when it messes up the settings and you've got to change them again
