hi guys, basically when i have been playing bf4 i notice that i have been getting low-ish fps (around 40-70) which change often, and changing the graphics settings doesn't help. in fact sometimes increasing the settings to ultra seems to give me more fps than low!! so i used msi afterburner to check usages and found that my cpu usage fluctuates violently between 70-90% (no matter what settings) whilst my gpu stays around 50-60% (on low settings) and i only get around 60 fps, sometimes still 40. if i turn the settings up i get more gpu usage but roughly the same fps
i have;
amd fx 6300
asus m5a99x evo
8gb corsair vengeance ram
msi r9 270x hawk
corsair 750w psu

i have overclocked my cpu to 4ghz which helped a bit, but i do not know what is happening!!
for a joke i even turned resolution scaling to 200% on high settings and my fps barely lowered (max 10fps)

the other week i was also playing zavod 311 on ultra with 100+fps most of the time, sometimes dipping to 80.

pleeeeeeeease help me
thanks in advance for answers

Well that should be bottleneck but the fx is a less powerful than mine i5 3350p which carry my 770 pretty well like 90-100% cpu usage in bf4 fc3 and 96% gpu usage that means that my i5 is bottlencking the 770 a bit you'rs hawk is msi brand right? Msi gpu's have great overclock potential if you'r gpu is oc and is faster than it should be your cpu,but still the fx is able to carry that gpu which is equal to 760.What is your resolution?

i am playing at 1080p and since the post the problem dissapeared....... bf4 seems to do this a lot- one week it will work perfectly and the next it seems practically unplayable, but thanks for the answer!
