I'll get my specs out of the way:
AMD 8320 (no overclock) w/ H80i water cooler
16GB DDR3 1600MHZ
GTX 660 (recently modified the bios for overclocking purposes)
Samsung 840 series 120GB SSD (Windows 8 installed here)
Torq 2 64GB SSD
Western Digital 1TB internal HDD
Now my issue I believe is with my GPU (660). Most recently I decided to modify the bios, and it was relatively easy. After that I experimented with overclocking and found a stable overclock (+70MHz Base Clock, and +20MHz Memory Clock) for Battlefield 4 mainly. Soon after Nvidia released their Mantle compared driver which actually declined my performance.
Before the driver, Battlefield ran fine with mixed settings, mostly towards High and a 1080p resolution. However, not too long after installing this new driver I started to experience issues with maintaining good frames. I ended up dropping all of my settings down to Low, and still I experience frame drops below 60.
Another thing that was occuring, micro freezing mainly happening right as I'd been killed. The game would momentarily freeze, followed by the killscreen. It was annoying but I didn't think anything of it. Today however, these freezes are followed by a strange audio sound that is like when you hear a sound glitch. It's very quick but worrisome. I thought it was only in game but I experienced it once while watching a YouTube video. Forgot to mention that I downloaded and installed an older driver, I believe from March. Still my frames are suffering the same, and I'm experiencing this glitching sound and freezing video. It's the freeze, then the sound, and then everything continues as was.
I'd be very happy if anyone could assist me with this issue.
