Hi,

I noticed a pretty big performance loss recently in BF4, FPS drops every 3rd second, FPS is decreased with 10 values etc...
Then I went into Resource Monitor, and CORE 6 & 7 is automatically parking itselfs like every 3rd second.. But I havent even changed anything at all, I played yesterday and it was all good...

I restarted and enabled HPC mode, no differance. I set the minimum processor state to 100, nothing there either.. All power saving features in BIOS is disabled... Please help me with this.

Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
AMD FX-8320 4.5GHz

EDIT
I have solved the issue.. I have no idea how I did it, but I played around in Regedit, downloaded several core tools, and increased HT Link and NB Freq to 2600MHz, and updated important updates for W8.1. So.. Yep, its nice now ^^

Edit-2
Nah... Or well, all my 8 cores are running when playing bf4, but I still get lagspikes like every 5th second, and it's like a preset value to give me it u know, it doesnt occur randomly..

Is Cool 'n Quiet disabled? What about C1E?

I solved the issue by restoring my computer one day back. The Windows updates were most likely the cause of this.
