Low fps on gtx 970? is there an issue or what?

Solution
I was slightly off. Was using old figures from memory. Just tried with my 970. Stood in same spot you did on screenshot.

SSAA off: 130 FPS
SSAA 2.25x: 75 FPS
SSAA 4x: 45 FPS

So if we want some headroom SSAA 2.25x might work just fine. You'll see if it drops to much in other areas. SSAA off will work no matter what, and give good FPS everywhere. SSAA 4x will probably slow down in some areas and feel somewhat sluggish. Can always try it though. That high SSAA really isn't meant for single cards though, for future reference. So dont expect it to work in many games.

But seems GeForce Experience was right this time (not often), SSAA 2.25x might be sweetspot.

You haven't listed resolution or game settings. I'm going to assume ultra and 1080p; at these, 40 fps does seem low for the game, considering Crysis 3 gets around 40 with this card... Monitoring GPU performance with Gigabyte's program should help troubleshoot.

The settings are on ultra we havent any monitoring software so we will download from the gigabyte and we will check if its loaded! On battlefield 4 minimum fps 25 and max 40 but there is no lagg o anything. But my brother thinks its a issue of the card... Vsync off by the way

Just checked, and nVidia experience wants to use 2.25x SSAA in the default setting for the 970. Lower quality one step and you get that off, huge diff. Like really huge.

SSAA on brings it to a console friendly FPS, SSAA off with single 970 is the way to go for some real FPS.

That's not the answer. The problem is the same as mine. I have changed the mobo and know i've got 4 memory slots. PAY ATTENTION, the memories have to be placed on the right order!!! If you don't place them right, you'll be not using DUAL CHANNEL, and then you'll have a poor gpu usage, low fps and freezings!!!
 


Single channel vs dual channel is extremely minor. Games rely more on CPU and GPU, RAM not much.
