Hi everyone, ive been playing bf4 alot lately and i have one issue. so some maps ill get 60 plus fps i play on the high preset and my minimum fps is like 57 , on most maps but i wanted to list the maps lower fps in
Flood Zone
Seige of shanghi
Hawaian resort (sorry for my awful spelling)
and a few other maps.
Operation locker seems to be a bit worse as well.
dragons teeth maps run decently
maps like mongol railway and the one with the huge satalite dish run AMAZING i can usally keep the game maxed out with amazing fps
so here is what my fps usally is
HIGH SETTINGS
1080P MIN 54 AVG 79 MAX 134
ULTRA MIN 38 AVG 47-54 MAX 89
ULTRA NO AA MIN 45 AVG 56 MAX 110
this is through all maps on the ones that were most difficult to run everything else runs great.

then you are cpu bottlenecked. Keep in mind some in-game graphic detail settings like shadows may be cpu dependant along with gpu. So try lower the detail settings and see if there is a particualr one (shadows usually) that is slowing things down.

Lower fps is expected in multiplayer (more objects to render) and that fps seems about as it should be. I have i3 and R9 280 and my FPS on ultra with mantle stays at 60 in multiplayer with Vsync. Also.... USE MANTLE! The FPS on the BF4 maps seem to be worse, the expansion pack maps perform much better.
 
probably a combination of cpu and gpu depending on the exact map/situation. Try dropping your resolution by half, if there is a significant increase in fps then you were gpu bottlenecked. If you dont see much of an increase in fps then you are cpu bottlenecked and you can look into overclocking or a faster cpu.

Also what is your internal resolution set to? I would keep it at 120-140% to prevent the need of AA without hurting performance much. AA has very little effect on visual appearance in BF4, and takes a good 10 fps off. A FX 6300 won't bottleneck a R9 280 in BF4.

to answer both of you,
if i switch from 1080p to 1024x768 there is not really any fps gain its about the same at 1080p
and my res scale is at 100 percent
i am not using mantle because it causes some stuttering issues , and i dont know if im the only one with that
