Okay so I have played Arma III, League, BF3, etc. etc. on maxed out settings and it worked fine. Now they seem to have hiccups every now and then (Arma III has more lag then regular fps). I have been working on this for awhile now and need help from the community. Arma III goes between 15 and 70 fps but on Atlis I dont break 30. Battlefield 3 doesnt lag as much really but still catch some lag every few rounds. League has lag on some games and it doesnt always get really bad when we team fight...just does it randomly.

Dude,

check the arma iii forums over at 'bistudios'. There are hundreds of other people with all sorts of system builds, some of them way more powerful then your rig and all of them are having some problem with the fps. There was even a guy with 2xTitans only getting 23-39 fps. Apparently the game only really uses one core of your CPU, so it seems to be the bottleneck for most people. Try playing around with AA setting, I managed to get a few more FPS by disabling that.
