Hi, I have a gtx 560 in my system. Im am only getting 40fps on BF3 in low settings. On high setting its like 35 fps. I have an AMD II Athlon x3
450 @3.2 ghz. Also if it is the bottleneck. What CPU and motherboard should I get?
 
the cpu is def the bottleneck there, pretty sure the athlon quad core would see improvements, but not worth it, for a new cpu and board its a matter of intel or amd. AMD id say fx 6300 and gigabyte 970a-ud3 or asus m5a97 r2. Intel id say i3 3225/i5 3470/3570k and asrock z77 extreme 4
 
the edit button is working, but in bf3 its cpu intense and like higher core count, so thats why going to a quad ud see improvement, plus its an athlon x3 were not the best cpus for multicore performance for like bf3 but its def whats holding u back
