HELLO!

To be clear this is one of the weirdest FPS issues i have ever encountered , i'm used to running alot of games on my (fairly) bad rig and this weird problem never occured.

SPECS:

Core 2 Duo - E8500 3.16GHZ
(yes i know its horrible, but i run all my games at 1280x1024, so it never reaches full usage)

GPU: GT 630

- some 400w certified power supply

No matter how much i change the graphic settings the fps stays the same (27FPS) , i checked CPU and GPU usage to find they're both almost at 37% - 40% usage ?? Im pretty sure its not a CPU bottleneck because of this and also i watched several gameplays using the same CPU and running the game on MED at 1080p getting 40-50fps. What the hell is causing this?! I Skyrim on High and most of the new games at fair settings for my specs.

Everything IS off and everything is low, and my fps is not even reaching 30fps

Well the GT 630 can't manage BF3 I had one and tried Battlefield 3 and it was not an enjoyable experience. I had 30-40 FPS on the lowest of settings that you can go but I had an i5 CPU to help keep up.
