Low fps GTX 970 + i5 4690k 100% CPU usage

Hi there.

Not sure why this is happening and how my friends with lower end PC’s are able to run this much better than I do.

Most maps on any settings (Low / Ultra) I get between 50-60fps.

Some maps run a lot worse such as Sunken Dragon, Altai Range and SoS.

All drivers are up to date and no overclocks are present. Below are some screenshots of the settings:

ULTRA:

LOW:

ALSO WINDOW’D MODE

Turn off NVIDIA Geforce Experience that runs in the background. This was causing me similar problems

check your power settings both in windows and the nvidia control panel and make sure its set to max performance.

Already done :confused:
Thanks though.

I don’t have it installed.

Already tried

Just found some news:

Ok that just made this a whole lot better! XD thank you so much that made my day.

I lost it at the bit about the 290x XD

How much ram do you have?

8gb 1600mhz

You got a 970. That’s your issue.

Brace for the downvotes.

Must admit. Should’ve got a 390x

I really wish nvidia didn’t ruin the 970 with the 3.5 GB of VRAM. I normally get cards on that level, instead I’m using sli 960s

That’s what I originally planned when I first wanted to upgrade.
How does that perform?

Surprisingly well. I did some research before I bought it, and saw that 2 960s 2GB=980 at 1080p. So for 1080 and maybe even 1440, the 4gb 960s run supreme.
Stable 60(capped at 60) in-
Battlefield 4
Bo3
Fallout 4

These are the most graphics intensive games I have, I run them at max without upscaling.

Wow that’s insane! As the OP says I’m struggling to get 60 with my setup.

UPDATE:
I installed project reality for BF2 and I get around 30-40 fps.

Could it be my PC not liking the Frostbite engine?
