Hi guys i will be so thankful if you help me in this one, sorry for bad english!  
**My specs :**  
**GPU : AMD RX460 4GB OC (not my but OC the Company)**  
**CPU : Ryzen 5 1400 Quad Core (4 Core 8 Threads)**  
**RAM : 8GB ddr 4**  
**OS: Windows 10**  
Tell me if you need more specs  
Im witnessing it maybe a misunderstandig of the game because when i type  
DrawScreenInfo  
In the game says : 8 Core 4 Job threads !!!  
Unlike my CPU Specs!  
Im kinda witnessing in Bottleneck too but the whole confusing part is :  
Everyone in the youtube having 60-144 fps in their games with exact same specs, even my friend with a rusty cpu and gpu (gt730…corei3) played at high!  
I paid for this game and this game is no fun in 35-40 fps.  
**Note: im not having problem in Domination, frontlines, TDM modes just operations and conquests!**  
**Help guys**

Well, I’m assuming you meant ddr4, since ddr3 is not supported on that cpu. It’s also extremely important to have at least two sticks of ram in dual channel. The graphics card is an entry level gaming card. It’s plenty to run at 1080 at 60 fps, but not too much more than that without turning down the graphics settings.

Yes, get another 8GB stick (same model, same brand, frequency etc) and your performance should increase overall.

Yes, the game does not perform well with a single stick. It really needs to be running in dual channel. Download and run cpu-z to verify how many sticks you have. It’ll also tell you what speed it is in case you need to buy another stick.

my cousin got the game and run it on HIGH setting in 720p with this specs :  
Nvidia gt730  
ram 8 one channel  
Cpu fx6300  
he can have 60 FPS with this system and i cannot? why?  
i tested it on 720p - 900p - 1080p  
Ultra settings - High - Medium - Low  
makes no difference it give me 35-45 FPS i dunno why !  
i had 60 fps in story mode on Ultra btw

in console : perfoverlay.drawgraph 1

run MSI Afterburner overlay and you will see cpu , gpu and ram usage in real time

then sell your potato and buy minimum 8 core cpu !

i don’t understand you i have much better than minimal requirements of the game . my friends playing this game with bulllshit i3s and i5s .  
and i checked the realtime usages with MSI , nothing strange , normal !

what are your graphic settings ? resolution scale ? cpu , gpu , ram usage in conquest 64 ?

That is the dumbest advice anyone can give. You DO NOT NEED 8 cores to run this game well. You need a balanced system. I can run high settings at 1080 and easily get 60 fps with my “potato”. Please get a little knowledge before making inane comments like that.

auto setting that means Medium , but i played storymode on ultra 60 fps without any problem and res scale is 100%  
CPU Usage : 60-80%  
Ram Usage : 7199(Max)  
GPU : 100%

That’s a major issue there. With 8gb of ram I max out at 6.2gb. Again, you MUST have dual channel ram. And you have to make sure all your programs are closed out (especially your browser). 8gb is doable but you have to have a very lean running system to do it. You’re hitting your swap file when you max out your ram, and that for sure will cause lower frame rates and stuttering.

Don’t bother, lol.

This is the same dude that said 100FPS looks “bad” on a 240Hz screen compared to say a 144 or 165Hz screen.

There’s no way around it, my friend. I was in the exact same situation as you last year except I had an i5-7400 + 16GB dual channel and I stll got very bad drops into the 30s and 40s or below no matter the setting, ultra, high or low. It was only when I upgraded to an i7-7700K that it stopped even though I tried software “fixes” for months straight without success.

Yeah, that’s not good. It either means your CPU or GPU is maxing out which is causing the bad performance.
