GTX780 getting as low as 30 fps in battlefield 4

Dylan Jackson · Feb 20, 2014

I have been trying to figure out why I've been getting low fps in battlefield 4 since it came out and I've scoured the internet looking for an answer and have yet to find one. I play on ultra everything and my frames fluctuate anywhere between 30 and 70.

Specs:
I7 2600k over clocked to 4.4Ghz
GTX780 EVGA superclocked
16 GB ram @ 1866mhz
Asus P8Z77-V PRO

I would also like to say that when if does go down to 30FPS lowering all the settings to low only brings the fps up to 60

What are your temperatures like? And also what is your PSU model?

Dylan Jackson · Feb 21, 2014

Ronaldspiers :

CPU:
29 to 33 degrees C when idle
40 to 50 degrees C when under load

GPU:
41 degrees C idle
anywhere up to 70 degrees C under load

My psu is a 1000w Cooler Master Silent Pro

Try uninstalling your video drivers and then doing a clean install. I suggest you get rid of the CPU OC for testing purposes.

My FPS is really good with my 780 ti on windows 7 however i heard many people getting significant increases in performance by upgrading to windows 7.

mr91 :

Sorry it took so long but I've done all of this and the results are still the same and I'm considering upgrading to windows 8 to get better performance but with my setup right now I should be getting anywhere between 90-120 on ultra everything from what I've read. So i just want to know if something is wrong on my computer that i can fix.

mr91 · Mar 1, 2014

That right, I meant windows 8 lol - Also try unparking your cores, That solved many problems for others on this forum.

hindemith · Mar 4, 2014

I am getting 30 FPS with a gigabyte windforce GTX 770 OC in ultra and I should be getting 50-60 FPS. What does unparking the cores mean?

mr91 · Mar 5, 2014

My understanding is that sometimes windows 7 parks CPU cores to save power, I suggest you Google this topic and take the necessary to enable all your cores.

I suggested that the guy unpark his cores in the thread below and his frame rate improved significantly.

Have you check what the resolution scaling is on? Putting the resolution scaling higher than 100% causes your fps to drop alot.

Dylan Jackson · Mar 6, 2014

Zalkard :

Yes I have it set to 100%, and to the other guy I've had my cores unparked for probably a couple months now.

Dylan Jackson :

Did you ever find a solution?
Here's all the things I tried with my 8350/r9 290, and I still can't fix it:

PLEASE tell me how you fixed it if you did.

am having same problem with my i5 4670 k and r9 270x
i play only at 1366 768 resolution

kannan8 · Nov 15, 2014

in many games am getting somethin like 30 to 40 even at that resolution

al_techman · Dec 24, 2014

i am having the same issue...
system setup:
fx8350
gigabyte gtx970
16 gb ram @ 1866mhz
gigabyte ga-970a-d3p

i've tried lowering res and textures, unparking cores, and origin game repair. sometimes I get good game play, but mostly fps drop dramatically from 60+ to 30 below

kannan8 · Dec 24, 2014

I resolved this problem

Check ur speed of the ram in bios....if its 1333mhz its d problem....then there will be option xmp(xtreme memory profile)....set it to profile 1..

Tats wat i did....and got rid of it

jkteddy77 · Dec 24, 2014

al_techman :

Make sure your RAM is at the right timings in your bios first, is it running at 1866 like it should be? XMP profiles (usuallly #1 is fine) are the easiest way to set this in BIOS.

If that doesn't help any, try uninstalling all video drivers (especialy if you used to have an AMD card in your system before) using DDU:
http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/downloads.html
Use it to uninstall all AMD and Nvidia drivers, so let it do its thing in safe mode twice, one for each driver family.

After those are cleaned up, get the latest Nvidia drivers from here
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
and then get this AMD chipset and install it for your 8350 under the Optional Downloads tab
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+8.1+-+64
Only install the AMD Chipset Driver in Optional Downloads, not the AMD Catalyst Suite drivers, those are for AMD gpu's.
Getting this Chipset alone increased my FPS I had an 8350.

If it STILL doesn't fix your performance, then chances are that the 8350 and 970 mobo just aren't good enough to get all the performance out of your 8350.
I had an 8350 and a 990fx mobo with my 290, and I got all the same low fps levels until I got a Z97 and 4790k, now the lowest I get in BF4 on all ultra 1080p is like 70fps.

kannan8 · Dec 25, 2014

M now getting alll good fps.......but the gameplay is very slow.......plz help.....my specs r9-270x and i5-4670k....and 4 gigs ram at 1600...

al_techman · Dec 25, 2014

I already changed the xmp settings in the bios. Today I actually restored my computer and now I am getting 90+ fps, for now. Thanks for quick reply. I will keep posted on if it is permanent or just a temporary fix.

jkteddy77 · Dec 25, 2014

kannan8 :

Try 8gb, 4gb is the minimum, meaning low settings, but you cannot play at high settings with 4gb of RAM, especially if you are using Windows 7. Grab another 4gb, a majority of games need over 4gb now to run higher settings now. good thing is another 4gb at 1600 won't be very expensive now.

jkteddy77 · Dec 25, 2014

al_techman :

Hmm, 90+ on ultra in BF4, or some lowered settings/under 1080p? 90+ almost seems high for your card. See if any of the tougher maps like Zavod give you lower fps, since those are more CPU bound.
