!Calling all hardware wizards!

Now that the sarcasm is out of the way, I feel like im not getting the amount of frames I should be getting in BF4 regarding my system.

I recently did a complete overhaul of my system over Christmas and noticed only a slight increase in frames (from 30-40 on all low settings to 40-50 on all low settings) even after dropping the resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x1024 I only see a gain of 2-3 FPS. Which leads me to believe I dont have something setup right, below are my specs:

CPU: AMD 6120 6-Core OC’d to 4.2 GHz

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U9B

GPU: MSI 970 Gaming Edition ATX

Mobo: MSI 970 Gaming Edition

Ram: 8gigs G.Skill Ripjaws X 2133MHz

PSU: EVGA Nex Supernova 650G

Any help would be very appreciated

I think the problem might be that your GPU is a motherboard. 😛

I have the exact same CPU and I get the same frames on ultra, I also get the same frames on low so I’d assume it’d be the cpu

Wait do you have a dedicated graphics card? Most likely your using the integrated graphics on your CPU.
