Sounds like you're running on a laptop which means your i7 is probably running @ 2.2GHz or lower.
You're in the correct generation as far as GPU but the 660m is a mobile GPU, also under-powered compared to its desktop counterpart.
There isn't much you can do to improve performance on that laptop, for this game.
maybe you can lower screen resolution with low settings.
yeah your laptop is likely not strong enough to run BF4, try lowering resolution to the lowest along with low graphics and see if you still have problems, if massive lag still persists try reading your temperatures during the game with GPU Temp and CPU-Z, as overheating problems are common on laptops and would throttle your system's performance quite a bit
