Dear community

My rig:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Mobo: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-770T-USB3 (Socket M2)
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 635 (2.9ghz)
RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 670MHz
GPU: 768MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (Gigabyte)
HDD: 466GB SAMSUNG HD502HJ ATA Device (SATA)
PS: 600w OCZ

I can only get 30fps or lower on LOW settings. How is this possible? Could somebody help me? I could run BF3 on high just fine.

I already downloaded the recommended driver for my gpu and I also tried the new beta one. Nothing changed. My CPU runs at 95% constant... even at the lowest resolution in window mode.

Right now your CPU is a major bottleneck so I suggest upgrading your motherboard to something like this:http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872
and you CPU to something like this:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286

With that setup you should be fine to run BF4 at around 60FPS at medium settings. Also don't forget that this is just the Beta so it is still being optimized so your performance will improve once the full game comes out.

It might be the fact that BF4 has a couple of optimization glitches but BF4 is also considerably harder to run so I think your CPU might just be too weak for BF4. Your CPU is close to the minimum recommended CPU for BF4
