what resolution are you playing your games at and did you set everything at ultra settings? Try lowering some settings until you get a good frame rate.

1080p and i did but i still get the huge lag spikes

Have you updated to the latest drivers for your GPU? New drivers offer better support for newer games like BF4.

i wiped m old drivers and installed new ones but still nothing also i messed around with the settings putting them down low as possible and im still getting the fps drops :///

That's weird. You should be getting really good performance from your setup considering You have a good processor that wont bottleneck your good graphics card. I would recommend returning the card because it could be faulty.

Try turning off V-Sync/Allow AA to be controlled by the game/Tessellation and others allow the application to override.
The less you try to limit in Catalyst the better your performance will be./that's how it worked for me anyhow...
Try not to AMD Optimize anything as it seemed to hold things back for me.
Let the in-game settings do the work, benchmark if you can and move from there

yeah i did that but still il get fps drops like it will be at 50fps then drop to 20 for about 5 seconds and its making the game completely unplayable.

how much is your cpu-vga temperature?

 

[stamval]

you may need to defrag your disk.fragment files can cause huge lag spikes and also can cause huge loading times so defrag your disk which you have saved your game.And also try to mesure your cpu-vga temperatures it may be caused by the high temperatures.

Your motherboard isn't meant to handle the processor you have on it. The VRM's are overheating and it's throttling the processor.
