Hello guys,

So, I preordered Battlefield 4. I downloaded the game and played it, but I'm not happy with the performance. I have a FX 8350 and a HD 7970 (1000/1400MHz) and 8gb RAM @ 1600MHz and a XFX Pro 650W PSU. I'm having bad performance (I think) because I see a lot of guys on youtube and on the net with the same specs getting 50-60FPS on Ultra @1080p. I have a 1080p screen to but when I turn it to Ultra I only get around 25 ~ 40 fps. This is on a 64 player game, on a clean map I get 50-60, so I'm thinking that's a CPU based problem don't you guys think? Those guys can play with 64 people and still having a fantastic framerate. Yes, I have the latest driver from AMD (13.11 Beta 8) and .NET Framework 4.5. I don't know what the problem is. I feel like I'm having below average performance on all games.

Please help, thanks in advance! (sorry if my English is bad it's because I'm Dutch)

13.9 driver don't work for me, and turning AA off gives me about 5+ fps.

I do have an option called: X-Boost on my Asrock Motherboard, tried it once but I set it back because I got Bsod. Could it have something to do with all this? Is there something wrong with the setup in my BIOS?

Its possible but I don't know very much about over clocking which is what xboost does. Have you tried turning it on again?

Not yet, but I will try.

Here, I shot this screenshot just after I shut down the game: http://
Everything seems to be fine, but there are some major peaks up to 100% and I don't know why.
