Graphics Card Problems

[saintlouiscards]

Hello everyone, I have a question about my graphics card. My system specs are:

Radeon r9 270x 4 gb

Asrock FM2A75M-ITX R2.0

AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz

8 gb Corsair 1600 mhz ram

When I play battlefield 4, I get a ton of stuttering and some lag. Is this because my card bottlenecks my motherboard? If you know why this happens please tell me the cheapest solution to eliminate the stuttering and get around 60 fps on high settings.
Thanks

The problem is that you paired a weak dual core APU with a 270x, that's what's holding you back

If you didn't intend on using the graphics that the APU provided you could have went with an FX 6300, the 6400K is limiting the performance of the 270x

So I should keep the motherboard I have and get the fx 6300? Also, are you sure that will work with my motherboard?

The 6300 won't work with your current board, it requires an AM3+ board. The best CPU for your FM2 motherboard would be the Athlon 750k/760k which are decent entry level quad cores

Getting a 6300 would also mean a new board and a fresh reinstall of Windows
