Your hardware looks solid, but the performance drop in BF5 might stem from driver issues or insufficient cooling. Check your GPU drivers and ensure they're up to date. Also, verify that your PSU can handle the load—650W should be fine if the system stays cool. Consider adding more fans or improving airflow if needed.
It really matters, particularly at higher refresh rates when the CPU is constrained. The exact impact varies depending on the game, though BF5 appears to be sensitive to it. The main concern is understanding what "50-90fps" actually means in this context.
I don't have access to your current settings or resolution. Could you clarify which resolution and configuration you're referring to?
