I have the same gfx card slightly less of a cpu and twice the ram but Ill toss my two cents in and see if they help. Obviously the standard check you drivers, last several nvidia builds have paid some attention to bf4 specifically. another idea is OS. upgrading to Win 8.1 fixed alot of my issues. I still crash just not as often. FPS issues are better as well as Frostbite seems to like directx 11.1. Another stick or two of ram would be good too. ---

More ram would definitely make a difference. I had a GTX 560, 3.30 GHz processor and only 4gb of ram. With that I could run the game more or less smoothly on low settings. I recently bought more ram though, another 8gb of it and now I can run the game on ultra settings almost constantly. ---

It’s impossible to play bf4 on max settings with a 560 on 1920x1080. What resolution do you play at? ---

Sorry, it’s a GTX 560 Ti, which is slightly better than just the 560. I play on 1920x1080 though, runs smoothly on ultra 90% of the time. ---

I’m running a 780 with maxed settings and getting drops to about 50 fps.. I had a 560 ti before I bought my 780, I couldn’t even max out bf3. ---

That’s weird, could be other things though, processor, ram etc. Maybe try defragging your hard drive, but other than that, I dunno. ---

A 560 ti isn’t supposed to max out bf4 at ~60 fps. Not even close, so I think your card is performing fantastically. ---

Try switching to the x86 version, I run with a 560TI too and have everything maxed in that, but have major stutter problems every few seconds in the x64 version. Just launching using the x86 icon doesn’t seem to be enough, since battlelog starts the game again. Right click it in origin, and set x86 in game properties, then be sure to restart battlelog.
