Lower resolution same fps

[Glowbit]

Maybe it's stupid what I'm gonna say, but I have a doubt. If I get the same fps playing BF4 at 1080p and 720p, it means that my CPU is bottlenecking my gpu?

AMD FX-8350 @ 4.5Ghz
MSI GeForce GTX 970 Twin Frozr V OC 4GB
MOBO: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
RAM: 8GB Kingston HyperX Fury 1866Mhz
OCZ Agility 3 SSD 120GB + 2TB HDD + 500GB HDD x2
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus Red
Corsair H80i Water Cooler
PSU: Tacens Radix VI 850W
OS: WINDOWS 7 Ultimate 64 bits

Thanks.

Your CPU is good enough to Handle GTX 970. I dont think that your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU. Resolution doesnt matters a lot. The graphics settings matters. So try in lowering some settings and check the FPS. Also this is happening with BF4, try another game also like COD Advanced warfare and COD Ghost. If this problem don't happen with other games then you dont want to worry. By the way, which software are you using to monitor the frame rates?

If your monitors refresh rate is 60 hertz then the max fps you can get is 60 no mater what you set your graphics and resolution to.

I'm getting low performance in most games I play. In some games I can see how my CPU usage drops, so my GPU usage drops too. But the temps are not the problem, 45-50 degrees max. And my OC is stable. I tried out my GPU in my friend's PC and the games were running fine, the difference is that he has an i7 4770.

Fraps

I see in some threads that Fraps shows low FPS in all games specially on AMD CPUs. So try this also:

I don't think that's the problem, I can see how the game is not running smooth. Sometimes I monitor the fps with the new steam option or with the BF4 console.

Try to overclock your CPU. How you overclock your CPU? Do you pick the frequency and voltages manually?

Yes, and it's stable.
