So my full rig is in my signature, but basically, I have new chipset, graphics driver 14.4 RC (latest) and newest BIOS. My 8350 is stock turbo, and all power saving options are turned off. My CPU is always under 53C, GPU always under 74C.
BF3 and BF4 will suddenly drop to 40fps in certain areas or directions of the matches, EVEN ON LOWEST SETTINGS.
BF4 with mantle, however, nearly eliminates the issue, and my GPU is always over 80% usage, 60-110fps, yet still get the same minimum fps, whether I'm on low or ultra settings...
My core clock never drops on cpu, and I'm always 60-70% usage.
GPU, on the other hand, will have 90-99% load one minute, and then drop to 30% gpu usage when I look in another direction and my FPS drops and stays to 40fps.. Return to where I was looking before? back up to 99% usage and 100fps...My GPU clock is always a solid 1000mhz, so its weird that the usage just drops like that. Its not throttling, otherwise my clock would drop. Its like this on many maps on both games.
It's just these two games, which happen to be the only two I play. I benchmark and run every other game as It should be. I basically match review sites frame by frame in games.
What's going on? how can stop this? Is the 8350 really too weak for BF3 to the point that I jump from 37fps-160fps... (Overclocking CPU and GPU doesn't help)
