What settings should I use in BF4 to get a consistent 60fps?

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

So far, I've been hovering around 30fps, no matter if my settings are on High or low.
Here's my build:

I would say ultra with no aa judging from this https://www.google.com/search?q=gtx+760+battlefield+4&client=firefox-a&hs=9to&rls=org.mozilla:en-US

well the link did not take me back to the same pick but it was 100fps with high and no aa

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

iron8orn :

I'm still hovering around 25-30fps on ultra with no aa.

iron8orn · Nov 27, 2014

I would expect better.. have you turned off core parking?

same registry keys for windows 7/8 once you restart go into windows power options and set min cores to 100 percent

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

iron8orn :

I'm now averaging 80fps, thanks a lot!

iron8orn · Nov 27, 2014

cool, glad to help

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

iron8orn :

Back to problems.. It worked fine for a couple games, but then I closed the game, and came back after a few minutes. Now, it's even worse, averaging about 15-20fps. Core parking is still off, I checked.

iron8orn · Nov 27, 2014

temps?

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

iron8orn :

CPU is idling at about 20C, and the GPU is about 25C. Both of those seem pretty normal to me

iron8orn · Nov 27, 2014

makes no since

how high is your cpu temp getting in game

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

iron8orn :

In game, it went up to 28C

iron8orn · Nov 27, 2014

what temp monitor are you using

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

iron8orn :

Open hardware monitor. I just tested BF3 and it was having the same issues, but in TF2 it was working just fine, at a solid 60fps.

iron8orn · Nov 27, 2014

well.. if you overheated and damaged something i dont think any game would be fine.

try using amd overdrive anyway for some temps

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

iron8orn :

I couldn't figure out how to check the temperatures with amd overdrive, but I tested a couple other games and they all ran as they usually did.

iron8orn · Nov 27, 2014

well I am stumped as to why only BF3/4 would start doing this..

got a message out to someone with a little more expertise that should help you out

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

iron8orn :

Ok, thanks a lot. I may doze off to sleep soon, but I'll be back in the morning.

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

Okay, this is getting a bit weird. On a hunch, I decided to reverse the steps I took to unpark the cpu cores, renaming the files back to what they were originally, and it fixed it! What makes this weird is that unparking the cpu in the first place is what made it work, so now I'm just plain confused.

iron8orn · Nov 27, 2014

yeah.. that is seriously weird. like millions have used that fix with no regret.

xcmbyte · Nov 27, 2014

iron8orn :

Well, it seems to be working fine now, so I'm off to sleep. I'll get back to you if anything else weird pops up. Thanks for all the help!

xcmbyte · Nov 28, 2014

iron8orn :

Well, back to problems. It was working fine for the first few games, then I closed it and took a break. Upon coming back, I'm once again averaging 30fps. Having the cores parked or unparked seems to make no difference.
Edit: I just unparked both of the cores again, and it has gone back to a stable 60fps.

What settings should I use in BF4 to get a consistent 60fps?
