Low frames in Battlefield 4

[sidskofa]

I seem to be getting low when playing battlefield 4. I based my PC on Jackfrags' "How to build a PC 2014" video but I bought a R9 280 instead of 270x. I get around 40-45 FPS when playing on all high with out using mantel. Should I be getting this amount of frames or should I be getting more on these settings?

[LiamApex]

is their a bottleneck ?

Depends on your CPU as well with BF4, not just the GPU..

For all we know you could be trying to run it on a dualcore with the 280x.

List your TOTAL system specs.

Pretty sure you should be at those FPS ranges at Ultra, not just at 'High', my 7950 did 50-60+fps easily using Ultra without MSAA.

 

/Mantle can actually make it worse (stuttering and such),... some people find its performance good, some people find it completely useless and does the opposite of what its meant to...

I'm not familiar with that build what processor do you have?

[brokencross]

What cpu do you have? I can get ~80+ fps average online with everything maxed out, except MSAA.

That's very normal for a 280.

Nah, it isn't.

[LosthawkX]

thats fine according to this graph http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2014/05/19/amd-radeon-r9-280-review-feat-xfx/4

You should turn on mantle to start, with me, using 1440x900 all high with a 7870 I get around 50+ FPS even on a map like lockers 64 man servers

40-45 is about right for an R9 280 on max details at 1080p http://anandtech.com/bench/product/1332

I think its the FX 6300 if its going off the video.

Your cpu is shit, honestly. Anyway, turn off MSAA and turn on Mantle.

The built in recorder with the raptr app I think works with mantle.

I have GTX 760 (basicaly 280) and i can screenshot my settings for 99% of the time over 60fps if u want.

@sidskofa

Edit: if u have fx6300 then i think theres your problem. The game is depending on cpu as well and my i7 does great job and your fx6300 doesnt even comee close so my settings wouldnt help

So lower your settings and u will get better fps.

I recommend lowering shadows as they impact fps a lot in many games. But for best ingame setting i would find some guide on google or youtube.

You're an idiot and so is the guy that recommended this build. You spent a combine 140 pounds on the cpu and cooler. For about the same money, you could had gotten an i5 that would had gotten you better performance in pretty much everything.

I only got the cooler today and I'm going to upgrade to a I5 4690k sometime

@sidskofa

You have an i7. Thats the clear advantage.  Your prob seeing 20 fps just from your cpu.

Here's the link to the video for those that want to tear the youtuber apart:

That coolers performance for what you pay is horrendous return it.

He has over 1M subs I doubt that's wise and the FX 6300 is a good  CPU for what I want to do 

[SkilledRebuilds]

Video talks about the FX 6300 strengths (6 cores, multithreaded games be good, even tho they hardly exist) and does not mention one flaw of the many it has...

 

Not a very informative video at all, "If its too good to be true, it usually is"

[sidskofa]

I asked for help and my question has been solved I don't want people saying my system is shit because it isn't. Someone has answered my question so I don't need any more help.

He said slightly faster single threaded performance for the i3 when in reality it's massively better single threaded performance. And his b-rolls also sucks.
