If you take video card settings off ultra and go to med or low you should be able to play nicely.

Exactly this @Cursed_img 

You won't be able to play on Ultra. If you have windows 8.1, you'll be able to get a bit more.

I have upgraded to window 8.1. Also I would play on medium or low but that's just covering up the issue. See, I had a GTX 760 and ran at medium and low. Do you know how degrading it feels to have to play on the same setting once you upgraded your whole PC. Ever since I had my 760 I upgraded my Ram, CPU, Motherboard, and GPU. Yet I still have to run at the same setting. 

Old PC Specs:

AMD FX 6300 - Upgraded to 8350

8Gb 800mhz - Upgraded to 16gb 1600mhz Ram

GTX 760 - Upgraded to 970

Gigabyte gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3 - Upgraded to Asrock Fatal1ty 990fx Killer

With all those upgrades said and done you would think I should be able to run this game on ultra. Not to sound too extreme but if I just go on every game I own and put it on low or medium settings, I am basically covering up the situation. I should be able to run this game hands down on my build at 1080p. Not to mention someone replied to me on Nvidia's forums saying this:

I just want to get to the bottom of this issue. Not only for me but for my friend as well who has virtually the same specifications. I have spent hours looking through forum after forum to see if this issue was resolved for anyone else. My temps are fine, I overclocked, and upgraded almost every single item on my PC. I also know the whole lecture of how single core games do not fair well with FX processors but I know Battlefield 4 uses a lot more cores then most. 

@Cursed_img I have similar specs that you have, there's a full list in my signature if you want to see it. I have tweaked a few settings to where i have lots of things disabled or set to low, the things that make the game look nice are set to high and one setting is on ultra, if you would like to try out the in game settings i use i can link a screenshot here of it. I always have well over 100 frames.

Wow your specs are very close to mine. Sure I will give it a shot. Also do you get around my FPS on ultra as well?
