Hey! Your Pentium G3258 with an OCd of 3.8 MHz seems to handle BF3 just fine, but compared to BF4 it might not be as demanding. Since your performance drops noticeably with BF4, you might want to check CPU usage and consider upgrading the clock speed or switching to a faster processor if possible. Let me know if you need more tips!
BF3 is highly optimized, which means it should perform better than BF4.
It's hard to understand why results vary so much. I've watched many videos of G3258s running at high FPS, but my performance is much lower—around 30 frames per second—especially with the R9 270.
Is your G3258 experiencing stuttering when playing Bf4? I’m having trouble with that.
Hey, it's unclear what's going on. I'm running around 30 frames per second at low settings.
I watched a clip showing someone at 3.8 GHz, improving frame rates on the same setup, but I doubt 0.8 GHz would have that impact.
You're seeing a huge difference in frame rates depending on settings and resolution. On low settings at 1080p with your R9 270, you're getting 30 fps, but ultra at 2560x1080 with 60+ fps is impressive. For ultra at 1920x1080, aim for around 55 fps. I think a troubleshooting thread could help you figure it out.
