HI,

I am getting really worried right now.

I just buit a new PC :

i5 4670k
MSI 280x
8GB gskill 2400Mhz RAM
120Gb EVO SSD

Well, in BF4 I get framedrops sometimes, but what worried me the most was trying to play Far Cry 3 and getting 15 FPS on the starting scene when the bad guy is talkin. Lowering resolution and settings all to low result in no improvement. Whats wrong with my PC. Is there a way I could benchmark it for like a overal performance and see if its all ok?

If the other games work normally then it most likely is the game, do you have the latest patch/update for it?

That is strange have you checked if you're temperature are all fine DOWNLOAD? Also what sort of power supply are you using and did you plug in the extra pci-e connectors (Not trying to be patronising but I've seen it happen).

PS:crysis 3 seem ok , so maybe its just the game
