I have been playing Battlefield 4 for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. I have come across a problem though. Every time I play the game I get horrible lag spikes. I typed in the command "PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 1" It Displays the graph and all of a sudden I see my issue. The CPU and GPU usage go from normal to skyrocketing to the top of my screen for a second. I get a horrible lag spike that makes the game almost unplayable. I played it for a while now and it just started a few weeks ago. My specs are well above whats minimum for the game. I looked it up and found a lot, but nothing seemed to work or I just didn't feel comfortable doing some. Is there any sort of thing that is causing this? I heard that some people put their OS on a SSD and that solved it. My cousin said that he had the same issue when he had my processor. Once he switched to Intel it was fine. Please help. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so what solved it. I love this game and really hope it can be fixed without having to spend alot of money on PC components. Anything helps, Thanks!

My PC Specs:
AMD FX 6300 3.5GHz
Gigabyte GA 970A-UD3P
G.Skill Ripjaw 8 GB DDR3
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HHD
MSI GeForce GTX 750ti 2GB
EVGA 430 PSU
 
Solution
If you can OC your CPU, do it. Itll help. But with that motherboard, I wouldnt advise it. An overall upgrade from that platform and GPU to something more modern would be recommended.
