Intel i5 760 not enough for Battlefield 4? (FPS drops)

I got the same problem!!

tryed somethings.. but nothing happens..

in high i stay 35 - 45 fps range.. but suddenly fps goes to..15 and stay there for 10 sec maybe..

35-45 fps comes back.. and it repeats every 1 min + - 

If any of you guys find a fix please post. I am actually looking into upgrading my i3 530 to the i5 760 for some gaming. 

There has been a tonne of posts regarding this exact issue, two by myself, and EA has not responded to any of them. They have to be aware of it, but I do not think they know how they are to fix it at this point, which blows because I can't play the game at all anymore like this

Just read a post of a guy having the same problem using an i7 2600k. Leads me to believe that it could be fixed with a patch and the i5 760 is not at fault here. I guess that is somewhat good news given that it will eventually get patched.

Since tuesday I've had multiple PC crashes only during BF4. Plays other games fine. DOesnt really get too choppy. No idea whats going on.

I would really like to get some feedback from other i5 760 users. Especially if it's running fine, please tell me, because I would like to be sure that my hardware is not just to weak!

I found a video which exactly shows my problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c49p55OI2vY

I got the feeling that it got even worse after the Nov. 14 patch and seems to get worse the longer the game is running at a time. Driving a vehicle seems to make it more probable to happen and if often happens just in the moment I zoom in (through 4x or similar)

I had the same problems and almost similair Rig instead of 1 560 ti i had 2 in sli same CPU, only 8gb ddr3 @1800mhz, I upgraded to a new 3d card the  ATI R9 280X Vapor - x OC edition from sapphire, i run everything on ultra 4xmsaa, 50/60 fps constant
The only thing u need is 4gb ram more and a good new graphics card

Running the game easy on 50/60 FPS all ultra 4xMSAA
running it on V-Sync having 120fps doesent mean better game play
Better to have steady fps with V-sync then to have fps drops from 100/60/80/110 etc
and it reduces screentearing

i had the same issue back in bf3 and bf4 beta.  after doing all the drivers, resolution fixes it still occurred.  when i deleted all origin games and just reinstalled bf3 (bf4 beta was done already) the drops stopped.  in fact my overall fps went up a little.  it could've been a bad patch or even a conflict with another game like moh or bad company2.  now i have both bf3 and bf4 and no fps drops at all to that extent.  you'll still have the 5-10 drop during heavy combat which can be expected but no dropping to mr rubberband state. lol.  i just got my rig in january and it played great.  i only had bf3 on it along with some steam games for my son. then i remembered i loaded moh 1/2, bc2 just to see how it looked on my new computer. looking back, it was after that when i noticed the fps drops.  and no i'm not on an intel chip but this drops are happening to everyone and it not a hardware issue.

amd 8350, 7850 2g x2.  if you tried everything you know, the only thing this causes is a few hours of downloading the game again. whats to lose?

good luck

Thanks for your replies!

As I said, I already tried lowering the video options to the absolute minimum (even lowest resolution). The GPU usage was below 50% and the stutters still occurred. And during the beta I had an GTX 275 in my system with the exact same issue. So I think I can be safe to exclude my graphics card from the cause-list. But you are probably right about the RAM!

@bigguyhawaii

I am hesitating to put your suggestion into action because I don't really want to reinstall all my origin games and my download speed isn't the craziest. Besides, I have some doubts if this might help... But sooner or later, if there is no other solution I will probably go for it.

Hey man, I just got an i5 760 and a GTX 660 about a month ago and I can confirm that I am having just about all the same issues as you.

After installing the latest intel chipset driver for my CPU and latest Nvidia drivers the issues are still present. 

I currently have 6gb of of ddr3 ram @ 1333mhz in my pc. I ordered two 4gb sticks yesterday so when I get that in and experiment with it i'll post back on here to let you know how it turns out.
