Hello,I have been having very unsmooth and stuttery gameplay in battlefield 3.I looked at what the problem might be by using ingame performance overlay and it looks like my cpu is the problem.That said my cpu is a new i5 3570k and I would think if something was causing the problem it would be my more dated gtx 460 gpu.I get good fps on high setting around 45-55 range with 1080p and no matter what setting I have it on I still have the problem even on low with everything off with lowest resolution.I also have tried turning off vsync, updating bios, overclocking cpu, overclocking gpu, and updating gpu drivers.I checked my cpu and gpu temps which are around 55c for cpu and 58c gpu so I dont think over heating is the problem.I will put system specs and picture of performance chart below.Thank you for taking your time and reading my post!

System specs:
OS:Windows 7 64bit
CPU:intel i5 3570k
GPU:nvidia gtx 460
RAM:8GB
PSU:600 watts
Hardrive:300 gb 10000 rpm Raptor

thanks for reply!I already have msi afterburner.It says my card is using around 99% and im using around 79% cpu on big maps in multiplayer.Im using around 850 mb of vram.From the in game performance chart it seems like my cpu is the problem plus I would think if it was a gpu bottleneck I would be getting bad fps.
