Bottle necking? on BF4

[rhylie]

i got a mad FX-8350, GTX 970 G1 and set all settings to medium to high and pulling about 30ish FPS. Is it bottle necking and if so how to i fix it?

MOBO: MSI 970 

Ram: Hyper fury x (1866) 2x 4GB

Power supply: Silver stone Strider pulse (700 W)

CPU cooler: corisr H100i gtx

what resolution and resolution scale?

[PRTI]

Resolution?

[rhylie]

1920 x 1080

 

battlefield settings: 100% out of 200%

settings are on high with anti-aliasing off.

Set resolution scale to 42%

[rhylie]

why 42? 

 

[Zi6iX]

No, 42% its for bf1 beta don't spread misinformation. 100 its the native resolution in bf4. I would advise everything on low except for texture quality, texture filtering(high or ultra) and mesh (high), you could get the scailing to 120% and don't use AA

im not spreading misinformation around dude ?

but thanks for the advice

I wrote that for the other guy, forgot to quote him. No problem that's how i play

[rhylie]

thanks man your a ledge

consider googling bf4 fps tips, like unparking cores, turning off motion blur, etc

How about you upgrade?

FX is Phenom II with bad cores and higher overclock ability. Not good.

[Crusader93]

Well, amd processors bottlenecks nearly everything. Just note that when you upgrade from 970, that AMD CPU will make your frames cry(even though it already does for some degree).

[pyrojoe34]

Usually when you see something like a clean 30fps it's due to your v-sync settings or a framerate limiter (either in-game or driver setting). Does the fps go way up when you turn off v-sync? If it does but you want to keep using v-sync try changing to adaptive v-sync (control panel setting). Also, make sure you're using single buffered not dual buffered.

mmm..No,Crossfire 7950 boosts and have yet to bottleneck my 1100T or my FX 8350.

They are not as bad as some would make them out to be,however if I was doing a new build now,of course I would have to go with Intel,But I have yet to have any issues with my AMD CPU's so far,Crossfire has also been great,especially in the BF titles which gives almost 100% scaling.

But I am most likely at the top of what I would run (GPU)with my CPU's.

[AdamH96]

A GTX 970 at ultra 1080P (no aa) can do above 100fps easy. That CPU is probably bottlenecking.

[xAcid9]

LOL@cpu bottlenecking, no matter how bad FX IPC is it won't bottleneck the card at 30FPS.

 

@OP
Try nuke the driver with DDU and reinstall it back.

If ur running afterburner make sure uv not set a few some limit in river tuner

Hell no, unless you thermal throttle?

Intel cpu's gives both higher and more stable fps. Amd is simply not  as powerful as the Intel cpus. Buying a gaming rig with an amd cpu today, is pure nonsense.

 

For a 970, the difference is not Night and day, but its still some fps lost due to the cpu. 

When upgrading, an amd cpu will start to struggle, and a Intel cpu will laugh at it.
