New build performance issues

[ZITRON]

I recently just built a new PC. After some research it seems that my GPU isn't having the same performance as I thought it could. My r7 260x supposedly is able to run BF4 ultra at around 40 fps (according to a few youtube videos). Somehow I could only run BF4 at all settings set at minimum at only a maximum of 59 fps. Could it be bottle necking from my CPU? It's only a budget build. My specs are below in the pic

Are you using mantle?

Are you using mantle?

Yes I am using Mantle. I've updated my drivers and there's nothing left i can do

what happens when you turn off mantle?

IS the display cable plugged into the motherboard or the GPU?

This

a lot of new builders make the mistake of plugging the display cable into the motherboard

I wasn't benchmarking while using DirectX so I'm not sure about the performance

It's connected directly to the GPU. I'm using DVI btw

Nope, it "just?" is 20fps faster.

 

But what you can try is instead of upgrading your gpu, is upgrading your cpu, mainboard, ram and cooler for only 500. You gain about extra 10-20fps.

Or you buy a graphicscard with more power and sell your "old new gpu?!"

Ultra on what resolution? Ultra on 1024x768 is way easier than Ultra on 1080p.

I am buying a new CPU. An Athlon X4 760K.

As seen on this video (

), the game is running at 1600x900. My pc runs at 1440x900.

Well you are using a APU, and BF requires alot of Physics so your CPU is a bottleneck,
