[huracan]

hello folks,

 

well  i bought a 290x recently  and i mostly playing battlefield 4 so i thought mantle would help me a lot and when i bought the card i was quite disappointed at the fps i was getting here's a pic:  so can anyone help me in determining what the problem is here because i am very disappointed at what i get in game , and here's my build if it helps http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/8dHtsY . please let me know if u find out anything!

Does this happen when you're in fullscreen?

[Briggsy]

try optimizing with AMD Raptr, otherwise it sounds like the cpu is getting hammered.

yes i just wen to window'd mode to take a quick pic on cpu and gpu usage

is  the cpu suppose go to 70 to 80% while playing bf4? and im mantle btw!

Oh amd cpus how i love thee so much.

 

If you havent noticed your 290x is being bottleneck by your cpu.

are you running BF4 in high priority, also, is your CPU cores unparked? I got a good FPS increase in games when I unparked my cores.

It shouldn't be this bad, I know a lot of people who running dual 280x and some with dual 290's that still see next to no bottlenecking. Hell, I run Bf4 at 40FPS on ultra with a 7870 and a core 2 quad

unparked? 

CPU cores get parked in windows, usually when opening a browser and such. It's to save power. http://www.coderbag.com/programming-c/disable-cpu-core-parking-utility

i did but i  wnt online and i saw that it is not suppose to bottle neck to that extent, thats some heavy bottleneck

yeah but im unable to find out why is it bottlenecking to this extent.  do u think is the power enough ?

Try the newest drivers and see if that helps.

 

Could be a win 8 issue , that OS has some problems with some games.

[91wow]

Are you running win 7 or 8?

That's windows 8.1

What kind of display do you have? FYI, if you have a 60 Hz display, you wont get more than 60 fps.

 

Is it the 58 FPS thats bothersome or the 47 FPS figure?

[91wow]

yeah but im unable to find out why is it bottlenecking to this extent.  do u think is the power enough ? 

Try unparking your CPU http://www.coderbag.com/programming-c/disable-cpu-core-parking-utility then see if it gets better. Also run the game in high priority.

I updated my post.

Can you show us the graphical options menu from BF4?

I have an FX8350 with 2 r9 280x and have around a 100fps (i can't remember the number exactly, im away from home in another city right now), what i mean with this is that the Cpuis not bottlenecking, and i think that you increased scaling over a 100, where it should be.

 

 

edit: i forgot to mention that BF4 uses all of my cores at around 70% to 60%.

its set to ultra preset

[SkulD]

yes but to the left of the options, near the bottom there is an option called scaling, and it shouldn`t be set over 100% =D

[huracan]

Try unparking your CPU http://www.coderbag.com/programming-c/disable-cpu-core-parking-utility then see if it gets better. Also run the game in high priority. 

tried unparking but still the problem persists

[PerfectTemplar]

Lol this is why you shouldn't buy AMD CPUs.

ill see if i can screen cap it

Sigh your running an AMD FX CPU so there is your problem.

Yeah that guy is just being an assclown. I have seen countless benchmarks of no bottle-necking with  that cpu in bf4.
