Do you know the exact model of your graphics card?

Give example games please.

High-End? A HD7770 is entry-level at best and 4GB RAM is pretty borderline for remotely serious gaming.

first of all, your pc is not high end is any way....

second thing is ..what games are you playing?

 

[crystal_tech]

whats the exact video card you have a 77 30/50/70/90?
also did you install chipset drivers as well as updated video drivers?

in games whats the resolution your running at? (ie: 1920x1200)
Shadows enabled? Ultra Settings? AA on? Vsync on?

im a noob btw! i dont know how to do much 😛

I have r9 270x, I get 80-100 FPS in Battlefield 4 with AA ultra setting (1366*768)

So 7770 or 7750 both are entry level graphics card in terms of gaming.

So assuming you are getting 40-50 FPS on ultra setting with no AA.It is really good.

And as mention your rig is not even close to be called high end gaming rig, its more of entry level gaming rig.

you need a better gpu and more ram to get higher frame rates.... cpu is ok but not the best

for battlefeild 4 i suggest to set API from directx11 to mantle in game settings ... see if it gives you a smoother playback

First of all. Battlefield is a VERY demanding game even for high end card. Your PC has 4gb RAM which is very low for current games. Your 7700 series card is also low end and only entry level with only 1gb GDDR5 and 128-bit bus.

In general your PC is not made for playing such intensive games. Maybe if you lower your expectations (or options) you can play it. If you absolutelly need to play such games you need to either lower your game graphics values or upgrade your PC.

My pc has 8.00 GB of ram though

I will offer you £50 for it, so that you might buy a 'high end rig'.

I may throw in a free owl if you can ship to UK.

You are getting most of what your card can offer already at that resolution.

 

[CreationP]

My pc has 8.00 GB of ram though

You say: Dedicated Memory: 1.0 GB
Total Memory: 4.0 GB
Memory: 8.2 GB

Your RAM cannot be 8.2. Maybe the 8gb is the RAM and swap memory together which hardly can be counted as RAM.

Check your RAM modules and please report the RAM memory only. On the other hand your GPU is low end.

VSync: Off

ill say it one last time ... your gpu is old and slow ...

for battlefield set API from directx11 to mantle in game settings ... see if it gives you a smoother playback

you cant do much.. you ll have to upgrade new cpu and gpu for better performance

Can you recommend a Graphics card for me to get?

 

[Vinaygupta1011]

7700 is mainly meant for 720p gaming on such intensive games for ultra or high settings.

Be satisfied with your current performance, anything above at 30FPS is good.

If you want ultra 60FPS at your resolution 7850,7870, R9 270/x, GTX 660/660Ti/760 would be your best bet.

 

[Aidan McCabe]

Im thinking of switching to NVidia

 

[Aidan McCabe]

And i bought a 1080p monitor

 

[CreationP]

Go get a r9 280x for 250 euros and toss your problems outta the window. If you have 4gb of RAM and not 8gb go buy some more RAM also.

r9 270x or a gtx770 is the minimum i would suggest
