Hey guys, I am having a blast playing battlefield 4 but I cant seem to get away from the cpu spike bug that plagues so many players. I have tried every fix I can find (unpark cores, install directx, use the custom user.cfg file) but nothing seems to fix the issue. While this issue doesn't make the game unplayable, it is really starting to drive me crazy. I am running the game on a mix of medium and low settings on an HD 6950 2gb edition and a AMD 1090t x6 overclocked to 3.7ghz (ill post full specs below) and the draw graph command shows that my cpu jumps off the screen at random times screenshot. A bump up to 3.8 ghz seems to help a little but I cant get the system stable when stress testing at that setting so I don't want to leave it there. Anyway, long story short, this computer has been a workhorse for a few years now and I was wondering if anyone thinks that upgrading to an i5 4670k and a nice mobo with an overclock would remedy this issue? I realize I will probably need a new gpu too, but I can handle playing on medium/low until I get more money but I just want the game to play smoothly until that happens. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading!
