Battlefield 4 not running very well

[jasper406]

I'm new to custom pc gaming and I would like to be able to play Battlefield 4 on the high-ultra settings. I'm hoping someone can help me understand what is lacking in my setup because right now the game is choppy while playing multiplayer. Here are my specs:
Intel i5 4790k processor
MSI GTX 970 graphics
ASUS Z97X motherboard
8GB XPG memory
500Gb Samsung SSD (NAND)
Corsair HX750 watt power supply
LG 22" monitor (1080p)
Windows 8.1 Pro

Update:
I followed nikoli707's advice and it's looking pretty good. Thanks

with vsynchron off you should get around 150fps you wanna try play with smoot network in a game settings.

It has been off. I turned the resolution down and that helped quite a bit. There is still some tearing on the high setting though.

Without G-sync I'd leave V-sync on. Be sure resolution to scale = 100 and not any higher. MSAA 2X will boost FPS nicely, also I drop post processing down to medium because on ultra it has more motion blur effects which I don't like and that will also give you a few more FPS.

Last but not least if you're still not happy with performance you can turn AO off and that really helps with frame dips quite a bit. AO is usually something I turn off if min FPS isn't 80 (for high hz bliss) as I have trouble seeing a difference with AO on/off where I do notice low FPS. As you can tell I'm not a big AO/Motion Blur/Post Processing advocate, haha keep us posted!

turn vsync off in game. force vsync off in the nvidia control panel. in your bf4.cfg file, cap your fps to your refresh rate(you might need to try 60fps, 59.94fps, 59.93fps, etc). you need to create a bf4.cfg file yourself. this is the best way to control fps without introducing lag. just google bf4 cfg.


in the nvidia control panel, change max prerender frames to 3, set display to single monitor, set performance to maximum.

Thank you. I will let you know how it works.

 

[jasper406]

Will do. Thank you. Should I look for a monitor with higher hz? Mine is 60.

depends on budget.

Tough call, I was happy with my 5 year old LG 60hz for a while and got G-sync as I was long overdue for a new monitor. I love the change and upgrade but high hz without G-sync isn't on the same level.

So G-sync would be the way to go. I will keep that in mind.
