I have a A10-5800K CPU. I have the onboard GPU disabled and run a 7850 1GB U;tra OC Edition.
I can play the games, but even in BF3, after about 15-20mins. of playing, my FPS will spike downwards from 55-60 to 15-25 for about 10secs. at a time.
I recently reapplied thermal paste and re-sat the fan, monitored temps, which are perfectly fine...
I'm at a loss. The only thing I can think, is that possibly my CPU is bottlenecking some how. But I don't understand! I see people on YouTube demonstrating performance of BF4 and 3 with the CPU alone!
Please help. I WILL be building a new computer this Feb., so please don't tell me to just simply upgrade.
Should I try an OC of the CPU?
Frustrated.
