So when playing BF3 on Ultra except shadows Ambient occlusion, AA and Motion blur off my CPU usage is 95-99% and GPu usage about 35%. So bottleneck?
I have Radeon HD 7770 and Athlon II X4-760k. So are there any upgrades for that CPU?

Cool? I got BF4 for free?
Read it. Don't try to guess...



Still BF3. And I were kinda asking what could replace this Athlon II X4 760k. Cuz I would also like to play PlanetSide2 with this pc but bigger Battles just eat this cpu.

Anyway now I have about 90% cpu usage and 80% gpu usage. On an empty server.



UPDATE: I rolled back from my small OC Genie II and Disable C&Q. Now about 45 fps with those settings in Caspian Border large conquest when looking far. On an empty server.

if you want to replace the 760k then you need a new board. i would recommend getting a CM 212 EVO and OCing to 4.5ghzj liek i did. it is painless on these chips and even at stock they arent too far behind the FX 4300 and at 4.5ghz it feels blazingly fast
