anyone have experience with usb 3.0 ethernet adapters? trying to do in-home streaming for my laptop but it doesn't have an ethernet port so i'm stuck with the shytty wifi connection. about to try this

I meant to say the CPU would bottleneck the GPU. Isn't pairing a slower CPU with a higher end GPU typically result in the GPU being held back? This is just weird as hell.


1080P. Here's the kicker though, when I had the 3GB MSI R9 280X(the card I got first after exchanging my 7870), the stuttering issue was still happening I believe. I then returned THAT card due to unrelated issues(fan problem) and got the R9 270X for cheaper. That card is what I mainly tested BF4 with and now I just returned that for the 3GB 7970.

In between all of that, the BF4 benchmark graph showed CPU spikes, not GPU spikes as turning down settings to low or cutting things off didn't improve anything. I usually can tell when a CPU is slowing things down because if GPU settings make no improvement to your performance than the CPU is most likely the culprit or the game itself.

I honestly think that some graphics cards just play nicer with drivers...

Do you own skyrim on the PC? That's a CPU intensive game...even more than BF4. I believe watch dogs is as well and you already tried that.

Hell you got people with kabini processors playing BF4 alright

I got skyrim. it plays fine even with mods and that was with my older fx4100 and a 7970. 60fps indoors and some drops to 40 at times when outside but my settings were maxed out.

So... my SD card slot isn't reading my cards.

I just started noticing this after installing my new HDD. I didn't unplug anything when I was in there, so I'm not sure why it's acting up.

it's not recognizing your graphics cards?

Did you have Battlefield hardline beta installed when your issues happened? or did you uninstall it and the issues came up?

Better backup that sd. Trying to force it to work like old nintendo games will lead to damaging the card.

What issues you have?

What issues you have?

massive framerate drops, stuttering and quick screen freezing. Only on BF4.

shyt was just fine yesterday. That's what makes me think hardline beta was behind it.
