Hi, i have not been able to play Battlefield 3 in the past few days due to my fps being so low, i have re-installed drivers and tried different ones, no luck. I used to get 60+ fps always and now get in the lower 30's and 20's. I also get mouse stuttering when i get in for the first minute or so, it gets better but its still there.

Any Help?

Phenom ii x4 965
Radeon HD 7770
Corsair Vengence 8GB
600W Power Supply (forget the brand)

Get HWInfo or some other system monitoring tool and see what the temperatures on the CPU/GPU are. Maybe one of your heatsinks got loose and thermal throttling kicked in.

Both my CPU and GPU are sticking around 50C, never going over 55C for either one.

The brand of the power supply might be helpful. If its halfway decent, it should be fine though. Also, what settings are you running?

It was one of the most highly rated power supply's on newegg, as far as the settings i can be on native resolution (1680x1050) or 640x480 and low to ultra and the fps is the same, 20's and 30's. I am currently running 13.6 Beta 2.

There might be a background program in the background taking up CPU resources. Also, in game, check the load of your RAM and CPU.

CPU was around 90 and RAM was at 4 GB. The thing is it was fine and now it's taken a dramatic turn, i'm going to ditch the beta drivers and try the 13.4 and see how that goes.
