Hi Guys,

I have a MB ASRock P67 Pro which i have attached Sapphire R9 380 Nitro with backplate OC my question is: is it ok so continue as is because GPU requires PCI3.0 but i'm running it on PCI 2.0 ...

i feel stutter on Battlefield 1 but it should be from my CPU it's i5-2400 any suggestion/recommendations ?
 
Solution
Probably is the CPU, that one's getting a bit long in the tooth.
Don't worry about it though, just showing its age.
Go for an i5 k CPU upgrade with Kaby Lake when it releases and you'll be set. :)

CPU is under 90-100 usage in MP 64 maps. it's like screen freeze in a less then half second aiming is bad but not all the time it appears randomly or i can't be sure when exactly .... i tried the GPU on another machine of friend with i7-4770k with MB asus z87-plus and it runs fine HIGH settings constant 60 FPS... so in my case it's CPU or MB
