The game is very shaky and feels like it is running at 1-2 FPS. My PC specs are:

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3Ghz Unlocked LGA1155 CPU
ECS P67H2-A2 Black Deluxe Intel P67 LGA1155 MB
Patriot Viper 3 DDR3 8GB 2133MHz Kit
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 1GB GDDR5 PCIe
Seagate 1TB Serial ATA HD 7200/64MB/SATA-6G
Running on OS Windows 7 64bit (real$$)

Please help, any recommendations? I tried running everything on low quality and still not running smoothly. Drivers are all up to date.

If you want to run it on high, it can be accomplished with an Nvidia 760. If you want to run it with all the texture effects at that frame rate, you are going to want a 770 that has been factory overclocked.

This one will get you to high w/ texture effects for battlefield 4: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130921
I have the 4GB version of that graphics cards and even with my 8150 everything is crystal clear and butter smooth. I only went with the 4GB version so that I could run Skyrim w/ mods and texture effects.

really - that should be able to accomplish low @720p easily. The CPU should be more than capable and though the GPU can't handle medium smoothly it should still run it.

If it were me, I would look at a 760 since the price just dropped into the cellar and check to make sure that your power supply can handle the load of your rig.

I haven't tried running it on those settings however my goal was to be able to play it on ultra or even high quality setting. I'm able to run BF3 on high 60fps with my current setup.

So what your saying is i need to upgrade my graphics card? Which do you suggest?

My power wattage is 760w, do you think its time for an upgrade?

Thanks a lot for your knowledge, I'm looking at the 770 4gb card now and wondering if it'll hold me over a couple years.
