There's actually nothing wrong, he's playing BF4 at 80FPS on a 120hz monitor so I'm presuming it's that causing the stutter... It's a V-sync issue nothing more.

Think you might actually be right, a single R9 280x will barely do 60 FPS so two in Crossfire won't ever reach 120 FPS at 1920x1080 on Ultra settings nevermind the 2560x1440 that he wants to run the game at

Ok dudes rather than telling me it's not a cpu bottleneck what can I do to solve this other than what i already tried? Also that benchmark is not bf4 but bf3. BF4 can use more threads than BF3.

and I'm not running ultra preset. I turn off post aa, ambient no SSAO 2xmsaa. I can do 120fps in most areas but like I said when I get fps drops I can see my gpu usage also drops to 60% and my cpu usage goes up to 99%.

one guy from guru3d said he upgraded for i5-2500k @ 4.8GHz to i7-3770k @ 4.4GHz and he got 30% increase performance.

Well did you install the 3770K?

If yes, what was the result?

I was thinking CPU thermal throttling, but that doesnt seems to be the case.

What about a unstable OC?

lol ok i tested prim95 for 12hr and nothing crashed and no overheating or anything like that. my cpu speeds is 4.7 for the entire game session so no unstable overclock

not yet. Still have the guy is sending it to me either the weekend or on Monday morning or on the latest Tuesday. What if it actually helps. i think it will help but might not solve it but would make my issues much less i think.

just keep on suggesting stuff i can try to fix it. I mean how hard can it be to configure my system. install windows. then install drivers and software you need then crossfire should be enabled. no tweaking needed?
