Possible Bottleneck?

[benki]

Just wondering

I get like 50 fps on bf4 on any setting. (1920x1080 60hz)

 

AMD fx 4130

(SLIx2) GTX 660 (non-ti) [oc'd 50+mhz]

8 GB ram

 

If so what are my options to fix the bottleneck?

Thanks.

Edit: 50 at all settings? you running v-sync by any chance? or does the game cap at that?, shoudnt

 

your graphic card is all that needs to be upgraded, unless your ram is running at 400hz which i doubt

 

 

but no thats not a bottleneck, youtube bottleneck and you find this

v-sync is off.

 

I didn't really mean all settings, I meant like low, medium, and high. (Ultra i only get like 40)

 

 

 

^He's getting like 65+ on ultra with an i7 which has led me to believe this is a bottleneck

the processor does near jack when gaming, as said, you might lose 10fps if you use a core 2 duo 2ghz processor. so its strange that the amd processor would lower the fps..

Doesn't battlefield use the CPU and take advantage of threads a lot? If so, then it's obvious that a PC with an i7 is going to beat your fx 4130 which is much slower.

not in bf4, a cpu makes a let of big difference in that game, take it from a user with an i3 2120 and a i7 2600

i cant believe that a Console port in our day and age would actually use the computer hardware we have  im so used it them locking our fps to 30

Your cpu is bottlenecking

I really think that the problem is your CPU, that doesn't mean that you have to change everything. You should get something like a FX-6300, or if you have some more money, a FX-8350.

Not trying to be mean here, your CPU is good, but it's not really enough, for 2x GTX 660. 

Another thing you could try, if you have an aftermarket cooler for the CPU, is overclocking it, but only if your motherboard is good enough for that, if you have the cooling for it, as I said, and if you have some experience.

BF4 is quite CPU intensive & will fully utilize 8 threads if available unlike most games that will use 1 or 2 cores at most. 

 

AMD FX 4100 averaging 58fps with dips to the 40s doesn't sound too far off the #s op is seeing with his 4130.
