    Evening all.

    Just bought BF4 and like alot of people I am struggling with FPS.
    I have the following hardware running at these approx loads ingame.

    CPU i7 930 @2.8ghz using 75%
    RAM 6GB using 5GB
    2 x ATI HD5800 4GB using 75%

    FPS 25 tp 75

    Everything is running at stock.

    Which item should I upgrade first to increase my enjoyment of this game? ( I like hi res)

    Will I see any improvement if I start overclocking to save money?

    Any advice guys?
    Thanks
    Wavey.

    Which 58xx?

    At a guess it might be crossfire inefficiency.

    Buy a decent cooler and overclock the processor. What resolution are you gaming at?

    1. Software cleanup(make sure you have the latest Catalsyt)
    2. Get a decent cooler(€30)
    3. OC that CPU
    4. If the rates are still bad then get a 7 series GPU. Your current crossfire setup will be a chunk weaker than a 7870 and that only does OK on BF4.
