Hi, I recently purchased a second HIS HD 7850 IceQ graphics card. I now have two with 2gb ddr5 each. My CPU is an FX 6300, and now, the fps is great, but it has lag spikes every 30 seconds or so. I just want to know if theres any way to fix this, thanks!

What resolution are you running at? If you are at 1440p or higher you could occasionally be hitting your VRAM limit. Otherwise I would do a driver resinstall and also reinstall BF4 as its updates commonly address GPU issues and with a recent change to your settings there can be a hiccup in the software somewhere.

Hey, Im at 1080p, I'll maybe try repairing the install and see if that fixes it. Im also thinking that the new gpu could be breaking in a bit? I've only had it for a day

 
GPUs don't break it. It is either a heat issue or software, least likely is a faulty card. I would do a complete reinstall and not repair it, especially if you have decent internet as it won't take too long to download the game and updates again. I recommend uninstalling the game and drivers, restart your machine, download the drivers first, restart then download the game.
