Planetside 2 optimization?

[Fictionvl]

Alright so, basically what I'm having trouble with is this damn game

 

if I set everything on ultra, I average about 40 FPS outside of battles and 20 FPS inside

 

everything on low and I get 75 FPS outside of battles and 40 inside

 

is there anyway I can get this damn game to give me a good constant 60+ FPS with decent settings? 

 

my rig's specs are

 

i5 3570k

GTX 970 Gaming 4G

32 Gigs of Corsair Vengeance pro DDR3 Ram

 

I can't overclock the CPU because I have an H77 board so no where to go there

 

any ideas?

PS2 is a very CPU intensive game... especially in big fights. Your GPU should be okay to run it but I would recommend either getting a new CPU or a new motherboard because you should either OC it or get a new one. I have a i7-4790K and I can run it on ultra with Vsync at 60 fps even in 100+ people fights.

If all else fails and you can't upgrade I would set your render distance down to about 1000... that should help quite a bit.

how odd, i get 60+ always maxed with a 4670k and a 680. hell my 7870xt had better performance then you currently do.

Overclocking the CPU would really help in firefights. Without doing that, you're kinda screwed.

I've actually set my render distance to the lowest which is 500 and got that second result, even with that I get insane amounts of lag spikes and its annoying 

I don't think I'm any where near the time of upgrading my CPU anytime soon

I used to have a 7870 too, it has the same performance of my 970 on ultra, but with everything set low

yeah, sadly I only have an H77 motherboard ( I was stupid when I bought it, because I thought I could overclock cause of the 77 number --', im smarter now tho )
