FPS depends on your game settings.
1) game appears very demaning of the CPU:

*Game is probably more optimized by now, but by how much I do not know.
**Should be similar to the FX-8350.
2) thus, GPU will be bottlenecked some, possibly all of the time so numbers will be LOWER than this:

3) A lot of TWEAKING is required. Start with 1920x1080, then drop to perhaps MEDIUM (I don't own the game) and see what FPS you get, then tweak as appropriate
4) Number of clients on the map affects CPU usage a lot
5) *The most important rule of tweaking is decide what FPS and VSYNC options to use:
a) VSYNC OFF:
screen tearing, but less lag and you don't need to maintain a solid 60FPS (60Hz monitor) to affect stuttering (when you drop below the FPS/refresh cap in VSYNC mode as you miss frame updates)
For shooters I go with VSYNC OFF, but only if screen tear is fairly minor (a lot of factors can affect the amount of viewable tear but it ALWAYS exists if VSYNC is OFF, for normal synchronous monitors).
b) VSYNC ON:
Need to stay above 60FPS to avoid stuttering. No screen tear is nice, though the game is a bit more sluggish than with VSYNC OFF.
c) *Adaptive VSYNC:
I use this for several games. It simply toggles VSYNC ON or OFF depending on whether you can achieve a high enough FPS (i.e. 60FPS for 60Hz monitor). In AC Brotherhood I forced this on (NCP-> Manage 3d settings...) for that game only.
I tweaked to maintain 60FPS over 90% of the time. Whenever I dropped I got a bit of screen tear but it was preferably to the STUTTERING I got (mixed frame times).
d) GSYNC is great, but also expensive. I just thought I'd mention it here. No screen tearing, and minimal lag. Keep in mind for the future when prices drop (or Freesync if you switch to AMD GPU). Make sure to get a high refresh monitor though (i.e. 144Hz) or it can be a really big hassle.
SUMMARY:
With proper tweaking the game should look pretty nice and run at 40 to 60FPS (depending on your settings). The GPU should be close to a GTX680/770 which was close to 50FPS at "VERY HIGH" at 1920x1200.
In my experience I find game benchmarks are often a bit high for FPS as they don't always test the most demanding scenarios which is where I tweak (or tweak for beginning experience and re-tweak later when you discover a larger map or whatever causes performance to drop).
Game SMOOTHNESS to me is the most important thing for a shooter. Then I prefer no obvious anti-aliasing. (see if MFAA support exists for this game).
Other:
the Nvidia Game Experience tool, AFAIK, chooses settings thought optimal to give you 40FPS, VSYNC OFF. You can try that as a quick setup then see if it works for you.
