Is my FPS normal? (gtx 970)

[BennBen]

Please look at this video i recorded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCBqfyEv6f0
Is my cpu causing this low gpu usage or what is it? Yes i've done everything you can imagine. I've reinstalled drivers with DDU, bought a new psu 750w, removed geforce experience, and etc etc..

My rig: i5 4460, 8gb ram @ 1333mhz, 750 integra M and the other irrevelant things..

I know battlefield 4 is a very cpu intense game and i want to know if my fps would increase if i got a 4690k and overclocked it.

Thanks.

Edit; all offline games makes my gpu run at 99%, even battlefield 4 singleplayer pushes it to 99%, but in almost every online game i get stupid gpu usage. And yes, my internet is good.

Well, I can't pull up the video from my youtube app, keeps saying it's unavailable (possibly uploaded as a "private" video).

In any case, exactly what FPS are you getting? Keep in mind that BF4 is not necessarily a CPU-intensive game:

http://www.techspot.com/review/734-battlefield-4-benchmarks/page6.html

Even AMD's Athlon II quad-cores are able to keep within 8FPS of a Haswell i7 using an R9 290X. Your GTX 970 should be able to match the 290X (http://anandtech.com/bench/GPU14/931).

That being said...if your GPU is constantly hitting 99% usage, whether online or offline, then something may be affecting the GPU itself. You said you bought a new PSU; what was the old model, & what's the new model? Also, have you checked your temps on your GPU & CPU to make sure that they're not experiencing temp throttling?

Big difference between BF4 single player and multiplayer when it comes to CPU requirements. So you have to know what the benchmarking methodology was. A lot of them use some of the choreographed parts of the game to get consistency.

I didn't see anything in particular in the video. Rather competent play actually.

Maybe screen tearing or something. The problem with compressed video on Youtube is that it tends to smooth out defects.

Posting relevant equipment and stats makes it easier to answer than posting a video. This is what you oughta expect out of a 970

Are you throttling ?

Download and run Furmark and HWiNFO64

Report back with:

CPU Core Temps
GPU temps
CPU core voltage
GPU Voltage
GPU TDP
Is card throttling / why ? (GPU_z)
Voltage on 3.3, 5 and 12 volt rails

To all here, my gpu almost never hits 99% usage in 64 man servers, (i dont know about other player amount server though). But in singeplayer it never goes below 99% usage. I usually get good enough framerate in multiplayer but when alot of things happen or theres an explosion it get drops to maybe 40-50 fps, even if the explosion is not visible (i guess its rendered anyways).

Edit: heres another benchmark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N6TNpmuf6E at the ending the fps gets really bad

Cpu running at around 58c, gpu at around 60c and 1.225v couldnt find any cpu voltage option, and i dont know what gpu tdp is :d Though in furmark my gpu runs at 99% like all other benchmarking programs
