That seems to be in order for BF3 and FC3. I don't know how DayZ runs, but I'd imagine it's in line too.

That seems normal. Although your cpu is the bottleneck here. Consider overclocking your cpu to get better framerates. 4.2-4.4GHz should be easy enough for FX cpus.

ok I will try that I do have the CM V8 Heatsink so the temperature should be fine
