Hi, I have Battlefield 3 on my PC and it plays smooth when inside of a building (e.g. Operation Metro Underground)
But as soon as I look outside the FPS drop to near 20FPS. This is clearly un-playable and no fun at all, my GPU usage also says 30-70% when my CPU is at 100%. I was wondering if this is a possible bottleneck as my CPU is old and should be upgraded soon.
My Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ (OC to 2.6ghz)
Nvidia Geforce gt 630 Palit Edition 2gb DDR3
4GB RAM (400MHZ DDR1)
Windows 8 Pro
Thanks everyone :)

Thanks guys, I am not planning on upgrading GPU just yet but I was thinking of changing motherboard and CPU. Do you think the Pentium Dual Core E5400 2.7ghz will handle this game on Low settings at 30FPS? I am not really aiming for visuals but I do know that BF3 likes a quad core, thanks again

This is probably the CPU I will end up going for, as you can probably tell I'm not looking a i7 as I have a budget after spending a lot of money on my new bike. Thanks for all the help :)

Wait the pentium or the 750k? The 750k is 5$ more then the pentium with way better performance.http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/333/AMD_Athlon_X4_750K_vs_Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core_E5400_(45W).html
