Low fps on Battlefield 4 with GTX 780!Please Help!

[lucamarse]

Hey i'm new to this forum so i'm not shure i'm asking in the right place.
I'm having issues with my new gtx 780 asus directcu ll OC.
when i play BF4 i get something like 40 fps avarage (drops to 29 fps) on ultra (4 msaa,hbao).
so i tried turning down the settings to low and it still gives me 40 fps avarage!
I can't understand why i can't reach stable 60 fps.
i upgraded from an asus 560 ti 1gb and in low the 560 ti gave me 80 fps.now my gtx 780 on low reaches 50 fps avg.
I already tried uninstalling the old drivers and tried also to reinstall the new driver but nothing changed.is my CPU bottlenecking my GPU or viceversa?

my pc specs:
-Windows 8.1 pro
-intel core i7 3770k 3.5 ghz (not overclocked)
-asus gtx 780 directcull OC
-250 gb ssd
-2 tb hdd
-psu corsair ax 860.

make sure your mb bios is updated some time there can be bios bugs.
make sure in the nvidia control panel the gpu set to one monitor output and performance. also update your motherboard chipset drivers and run gpu-z make sure the video card is being read right.

From the nvidia control panel it optimizes my gpu for bf4 and it sets it all maxed out with msaax4 and hbao.
in bf4 there is a "programm" that tells you how much should you lower your settings to get 60 fps avg but even putting it at low it still tells me that there aren't enough fps.
i tried the nvidia control panel and it's all ok and the gpu-z programm reads right my gpu.
my last upgrade of my bios is from 2012 but could that do that big of a difference?

some newer gpu the mb vendors had to fix bug fixes. (also check that ram running in xmp profile so your cpu not waiting for the ram). also make sure running the newest chipset driver drivers for the mb.

 

[lucamarse]

ok i'll try it.anyway i was thinking: could it be that everything is caused by the thing that i installed bf4 on program(x86) and not on program?

nope most games now you can drop them anywhere on your hard drive.

the ram is going at 1600 so its in full load.
i'm starting to think that the problem is realy my mb and other updates i have to do since i never updated anything other than the gpu and windows.
I was thinking on doing a format of my pc and updating everything.

dont have too just go to intel web page run there driver update scan. it should point out you need the intel chipset driver updated and the sound drivers if they have not been updated. also make sure your gpu plugged into the video slot closest to the cpu.

I had a very similar issue with my GTX 780ti. I found out that shadow play was the cause. Turning off shadow play in the GeForce Experience app brought all my fps back.

Did you ever fix it? if so, how did you?
I have the same issue with my 8350/r9 290
I've tried all of this:
