People say I should be able to run some games on high but most games i cant

[Mrttooth]

I have I5 4670k
radeon 7950
with 8gb 4x2 ram
MSI Z87-G41 motherboard

Lets say a game like bf1 it says im able to run on high setting with decent fps but my fps stay in the 20fps range and freezes at points

Well I can tell you right now that BF1 is optimized to use more threads than most games. Is your CPU overclocked? Also that 7950 is pushing it, and it's a pretty old card. Is this when you are in multiplayer with a lot going on at once?

No my cpu isn't and it is in multiplayer
I was also wondering if I should upgrade to a rx 580

That should be able to help you get better performance. MAke sure you completely remove the drivers using DDU.
