http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819106010 That is my CPU, which should play the beta fine, but it is always at 84-99% (I minimized and looked at the windows 7 gadget) My GPU is an overclocked GTX 570; it's horrible and I am RMAing it. I have 12 GB of ram and windows 7 64 bit. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. EDIT: I completely forgot to ask my question.. Should I RMA my CPU? or buy a new one (what one should I buy then)

Dude, glad you posted this: so this morning I was getting so pissed off about BF4 beta that I read on a forum on some tips

 

I have a similar CPU to you so this may or may not work for you but here we go:

 

First, get latest drivers for GPU recommended for Bf4 beta

Second, navigate to the directory for BF4 beta folder, look for the direct x install .exe and run that.

 

Third: navigate to the temp folder (use search then %temp&) and delete all

 

NOW AFTER I DID ALL THIS : I still had stutter.

 

I couldn't even change my video settings in BF4 with getting a DX error and it would quit.

 

After I followed the above steps, I was able to change the settings FINALLY :)

 

Lastly, i know this is a beta, so this is gonna sound weird what I am about to state, but I KID YOU NOT!!!!!

 

When I set my gfx settings to low medium high, I got really bad FPS, so I said screw it and CRANKED it to ULTRA and PRESTO...smooth as butter....

 

i don;t know why, I don;t care to know (probably bc its a beta build) but now I am in ultra, beautiful FPS action.

it's unfinished software on brand new technology, what did you expect?  Most other players are running into the same thing.  Don't go RMA'ing your hardware just because a beta has no good drivers or fixes yet

Some of my hardware is broken and requires RMA. I was thinking my CPU might need an RMA too since I had some problems with BF3 aswell. Thanks for the help warrior, I will try it.

OMG what part of Beta do some off you not understand. It is a Beta version off the game that they are still working on. I already know this game will have issues when it comes out for the first few weeks just like every other one before it. How is everyone surprised it has issues during a beta test blows my mind.

Same problem, my cpu is always at or close to 100%...just waiting to see if the game will be optimized more before launch before look at a new cpu. If you go to the BF4 forums, a lot of people are having this problem...so we are not alone.

The AMD Mantle version will be out in December. That'll lower CPU usage by a large amount...

Yeah i can max it out on all HIGH but still studders and whatnot. Its beta so what do you expect. But they need to put ALOT ALOT ALOT of work into this game. It feels like a knockoff of planetside 2 right now. So far BF3 is better IMO

So the res was 256x192? Funny, that's the res of the nintendo DS, so maybe that's what BF3 would look like on it.
