4790k on 100% and low fps

Hey Guys,

with my INTEL I7 4790K 

I am currently getting only around 30fps on average even on the lowest settings.

I does run on 100% the whole time I am playing. I still have it on its base clock with 4GHz and 4.4GHz in Turbo.

When comparing it to the newer models (like the AMD Ryzen 7 3700x) I found that those are only sligthly better..

Is it something with the game, or is my processor just too old and I need an update to play the game properly?

P.s.: 

Graphics: Nvidia GTX 970

RAM: 16GB DDR3

MB: ASUS B85-Plus

Installed on a HDD

Thank you!

The 3700x may only be 10% faster at single core performance compared to the 4790k but it does have twice as many cores and threads as the 4790k (8 cores/16 threads vs 4 cores/8 threads).  Your setup should be running BFV fine at 1080p at around 60fps though.  Have you got future frame rendering enabled?  Have you checked to make sure that you have nothing in the background eating up CPU cycles while trying to play?

If you are seeing very low performance that does not change much with different settings, it may be worthwhile checking your display is connected to your GPU rather than your motherboard video output.

First of all: Thank you.

I did have FF-Rendering on and tried turing it off.

I don't know if that helped but the problem did vanished - I still don't know why tho.

I seems to be running ok now with a constant 60fps. I do sometimes get framedrop tho, when a lot of physics based operations happen..

@EA_Barry Thank you for the advise but I hoped that it was clear that I excluded those basic problems before submiting my question 🙂
