So I upgraded my PC and now have a GTX 660 Ti in the PC with a Quad-Core A10-6700 and 12 GB of ram, and I tried to play BF4 on 1400x900 display settings and around Medium-High setting and I still get frequent stuttering on multiplayer. According to BF4's minimum requirements, my CPU should be fine but I still get really bad stutters down in the mid 20's or just staying at mid to low 20's at times.

Is there a CPU bottleneck? Other posts have seemed to hint it shouldn't bottleneck but I can't seem to figure it out, any suggestions?

With the gpu at 70% is there a bottleneck so the cpu seems to be the problem as said.I guess that with prime all cores go to a 100% ...

One thing,how does it play with just the 8gb stick in? Is that ram running @ 1600mhz anyway? Can see with cpu-z->memory tab (freeware).
You have the latest bios? Maybe a decent motherboard for some overclocking?
Again just looking at all possibilities,might only be a small waste of time.:)


http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-8670D.96575.0.html well based of test just the cpu on low settings can only get 52fps, med is in the 30fps of course that's with the internal video card also.

your external card should improve over those numbers but I almost sure that your cpu is limiting u a lot. as even people with an 8350 say there only getting 70fps avg on high (not max)settings with your card and still experience shuttering due to cpu not keeping up. your are pretty much going to be limited to low-mid settings.

Thanks for the reply,
Just to give you an example, high-ultra settings on campaign, easy 50 fps or above. Multiplayer, just horrendous, mid 20's. Is it cpu or something else that may be bottlenecking it?
 
Im quite sure it's the cpu, in singleplayer you get higher fps, when you go online the fps drops, multiplayer is pretty heavy on cpus so 1+1. Also you said you lower the resolution and still get stuttering which indicates that it's indeed the cpu bottlenecking here. :)

The Ram, 1600 mhz of ddr3 set up 8gb in slot one and 4gb in slot three in dual channel slots. I have a cleaned cooler and arctic silver 5 on the heatsink and cpu so I get a max of 54 C on prime95 torture test. But I think the guy above is right on the CPU, it's probably all the players and stuff going on in multiplayer that makes the CPU bottleneck hard.

EDIT: Okay now I've run into a bigger problem. I got MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner to bench and see how much the CPU is being used during the intensive scenes. My CPU hits like 60-70 percent during like Levolution scenes so is my CPU not being used to the fullest? Could I getmore frames at like 90-95 cpu usage? And if I can, how can I do that?

Both components are used around 70%. Im worried that I may not be using my components to their fullest. Im not too worried about heat issues since prime95 test were pretty successful.
