My build:
GPU: Asus Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 Ti 2GB GDDR5
CPU: Intel-Core i5 3570 @3.4 Ghz
PSU: Xtreme Power Plus 550W PSU
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H
SSD: Sandisk 120(or 128 idk) GB SSD
Memory: 16 GB RAM
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1

What i dont understand is that i cant run BF4/BFH on ultra 60+ fps with this build, even without Antialiasing, Vsync,Ambient Occlusion, etc. I've seen many people say that they can play BF4 on ultra 60+ fps with no problem when using a 660 Ti(Maybe it's the fact that i have 2gb Graphics memory?). I know that it's pretty late to make a thread like this since BF4 is an "old" game now, but this has been stressing me in a more general way. My Nvidia drivers are up to date and I even risked the Cpu core unpark thing, but it didnt really work up to my expectations. I need some help on how i can make this build run BF4 and any other game that has the same or even higher graphical prowess because I can't take this any longer.
Thank you,
Akshay

The GTX 660Ti will not play BF4 on ultra with 60fps @ 1080p if you don't overclock; My 760 is stronger than the GTX 660Ti and it struggles to get 50fps with the aforementioned settings and resoultion.

Would it be enough to turbo boost it to 3.8 Ghz? Or should i just OC is to like 4.2+? I could probably get a better GPU if you would recommend it.

Would you recommend getting a new GPU or would OCing do the trick? (btw this is for other games too)

OCing will only help so much; You can try it, but it might not really help that much.

You are going to need to overclock both the cpu and gpu if you want to even get close to 60fps steady online.

I suggest you get msi afterburner, and start looking at guides online. =)

(Hopefully you have a decent aftermarket cpu cooler)


Good luck.

Sooo should i just try OCing the GPU and see where that gets me? Could i get a recommendation on what I could use to sort of cool my GPU when it's OC'd?

I have no MSI products, just the ASUS 660 Ti, and my CPU cooler is a CM Hyper 212 Evo, which was and in my opinion is the best budget cooler i could find and get. =)

That GPU is not even designed for Anti-Aliasing (especially online). Get another one for SLI or get another high end GPU.

I am able to hit 60 FPS with a GTX 660TI running at 1080p, and my computer is pretty bad :p

A lot of people say that they are able to run bf4 on ultra 60+, but i cant, id like to see some advice from a person that has the gtx 660 ti because i wont spend another 300 bucks on another one

Mine is 2GB as well.

I have heard things that BF4 seems to run better on win7, Not sure if that's true or not, but you may want to google it.


My build is actually weaker than yours honestly so it may be something like drivers or perhaps BETA drivers? Or maybe you're getting temperature bottlenecks in your case?

Im running the latest nvidia driver and i think my temperature is fine, although my computer does get a bit toasty after an hour of playing bf4. I also heard that it runs better on win8 (people have gotten major fps increases with win8 so im assuming that it wouldve helped me, and it did, but it only increased my fps by like 5.

Try running Prime95 and watching your cpu temperature. That could be throttling the PC.

What's Prime95 exactly?
