What kind of performance are you getting

How are you noticing a lack of performance? What game are you trying to play at what setting with what fps?

It's probably a driver problem. Update your GPU to its' current driver version and then update your motherboard's BIOS and see what that does.

it tends to seem choppy at times.all card drivers and mobo update done last night still have the same issues. any chance its the gpu's. also i keep having this feeling its all in the settings somehow. it has 16gig ram 6core prosser and 2xhd7770 1g cards and a ssd
i thought it was a solid buid.

That sounds about normal. You're running crossfire on the ASRock 970 Extreme3, which is a horrible idea. You might as well only have one gpu, because one of the gpu is running in a x4 lane. That means you will only notice a very small performance increase, if any. Your build basically performs like a FX-6300 with a single 7770, and playing BF4 at only med settings sounds about right.
