Battlefield online as in the free battlefield? or BF3 / BF4?

I am going to take a wild guess and say that your video card is the bottleneck.
If it is a 64 player match, I'd say its more your CPU.

You can verify what is bottlenecking by doing the following:

1) Use windows task manager to view CPU usage during your game
2) Download MSI afterburner to view graphics card usage during your game
3) Verify if one of those 2 components is always near the 100% usage, that will be your bottleneck.

I play battlefield 3 and use msi afterburner to see all that stuff you said! I figured it out myself the solution... when i used the msi aferburner the fan speed of my gpu was too low so i had to increase it a little! Now I can play it really well. By the way I also use GFX. Does that program clock the fan speed itself?

that is pretty high usage, although I expect to see a 99-100% usage to consider it a bottleneck. How is your CPU usage?
Also, in MSI afterburner, there is a configuration page where you can set your OWN fan speed settings with a graph.
It is a very powerful tool :)

Check this out and tell me what is happening...
GPU: D3D usage 98-100% , Core load 98% , Memory load 53% , Total GPU usage 58-61%
as for the CPU both cores and threads were 80%-90%
