So i just completed my build about a week ago. And i have really been wanting to play BF4 so i purchased and downloaded it and began playing it. I noticed that my frames were oddly low (45-70). That fps would be fine if i were on ultra 1080p... However, i am using my tv as my monitor( and am using an HDMI so when i change it to 1080p it gets fuzzy) so i am running at ultra 1360x768. I have an EVGA GTX 780 superclocked w/ acx cooling paired with a i5 3570k. The temps max out at 70c.

TL;DR Low Fps with an EVGA GTX 780 Superclocked/i5 3570k

I think it may be something to do with my cpu. It is running at nearly 70-90% cpu usage.

Do you have good cooling at all? The processor I would say is week for this GPU.

The 3570k is just fine. Do you have the latest drivers for everything? GPU, Bios, CPU and what not.

Yes, I have installed the latest gpu/cpu drivers and motherboard bios. I tried to see if it was being throttled down due to the heat but it wasnt the case ( I disabled the CPU throttling in bios)

Would that really help? What exactly could have went wrong during the download/install to make it mess up like this. It is literally maxing out my cpu usage.

I dont really have good cooling, just the stock intel heatsink. However, like i said to another person i disabled cpu throttling in the bios so i didnt think it would clock down due to heat.

Did you thank you may have got a bad 780 do some test on it.. and see what you come up with.
I got 2 GTS 450's and i can play BF4 on ultra 1080p with 50 to 90 fps so something is up with your rig.

Just do a search for free benchmark... and get one for a GPU test and DL and run it, it will run and tell you the test results

I think i was able to fix it, atleast somewhat. All i did was reapply thermal paste to cpu. My temps are close to 15 degrees cooler. I didnt think that temperature was affecting it but apparently it was. I am going to test both the GPU/CPU tho. Thanks for your help! :)

Believe it or not thinhs dont always install correctly thats why games need to be repaired or integrity verified those would not exist if it always installed correctly.
