make sure ur resolution scale is at 100.

Also go into ur devices menu and make sure ur computer acknowledges that ur gpu is installed(correctly)

Might wanna upgrade the cpu as well. im running a 760 & i5-4670k and i get 120hz @ 120 fps on low

settings so i dont think its ur card or psu.

but 720p and all lowest settings (and resolution scale below 100 or even lowest), if not work then you want to buy better cpu (3330 nok… can update to 3570k)

Something is wrong with your PC configuration, try another driver (clean install), maybe it’s something with your RAM or OS, in BIOS set CPU settings to “performance”

Open notepad and name the file user.cfg, add this lines, save and put the file in folder where bf4.exe is. You can see in the graph what is bottlenecking the performance, CPU or GPU (what needs more time to draw a frame).

PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1  
PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 1  
PerfOverlay.Enable 1

you can also add this lines, maybe it can help:  
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4  
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1  
RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0

Your specs are fine for at least a reasonable game;  
ok answering your question and noting you said Battlefield is detecting the onboard graphics and not the installed graphics card, have you tried going into your PC BIOS/UEFI and disabling the on board grapgics card, might be called Integrated Graphics Processor IGP.

Also have you checked the obvious and checked youve not plugged the display into the onboard graphics? not your GTX

oops, I didn’t see “ **cuz it takes the integrated graphic card** ”  
In what is your monitor plugged in (GPU or motherboard)?  
As Hagster1969 already said, in BIOS/UEFI just disable Intel IGP and set “use dedicated GPU/video card”

1. Make sure that in BIOS the GPU is switched from internal /onboard to PCI-E.
2. Now download Driver Booster 3 from here [http://driver-booster-free.de.softonic.com/](http://driver-booster-free.de.softonic.com/) This Programm is realy updating **EVERY FUCKIIN DRIVER** on your System.
3. You can activate it and set to Pro-Version. Key here

Key under the Video in the Description.  
4. After all maybe you have to made some WINDOWS-updates.  
5. Ready

GOOD LUCK !!!

He does not have to do as I have the same GPU with on board graphics card enabled the question is he actually plug in to the 960

Maybe i got another solution…:

A few weeks ago i had a problem installing my second GPU (GeForce GT 740M). In the Systemsettings only the “Standart VGA Adapter was installed” not the Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 or the GeForce GT 740M. The Game can only use the GraCa shown in Windows-Systemsettings.Unintall the Standart-VGA Adapter from the Windowssettings and follow Step 2 - 5 from my first Post. It works.
