I think this is a good place to post a quesiton like this, if not sorry in advance.
So basically this is regarding my secondary computer that my brother uses.
This was from the start a computer assembled with parts laying around my house.
The main uses of the computer are general internet browsing and normal usage along with some BF4, Shift 2 and possibly GTA 5 in the future.
Specs:
Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 (Bought on a budget, I understand this is a beginner board)
FX 4100 @ 3.6Ghz (Turbo Disabled)
MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr
8GB 1333Mhz Crucial RAM
EVGA 500W 80+ Silver (If i remember correctly)
So I have another motherboard laying around that is not being used, it is an ASRock 970 Extreme 4. Basically my question/concern is BF4 seems to be very laggy and stuttery randomly, I have read around and I understand BF4 is an unoptimized game and stuff like this is somewhat common. (Although I dont notice it at all on my main rig)
Anyway, after some tweaking and messing around I discovered for some reason MSI afterburner was making BF4 horribly unplayable and choppy. The settings that my brother uses are either Low or Medium. Now its odd because the previous GTX 650ti we were using seemed to run the game better on Low detail than the GTX 760 does - Not at all times, it just seems very intermittent.
My questions based on the above:
Will swapping the hardware to the ASRock 970 Extreme 4 result in any noticable performance gain, or perhaps the abililty to overclock the CPU better than the Gigabyte board to possibly reduce any bottleneck?
(I have read that both boards seem to only have a 4+1 power phase, and this was the reason I ended up buying a new board since the 125W FX 8350 was not stable on the ASRock 970 Extreme 4 due to this.)
I will openly consider a new processor, but if I am going to spend 100$ on a FX 6300 I figure I might as well just go for a 95W 8 series that could run on the ASRock 970 4.
I think that 8G of RAM is enough to at least run BF4 on lower/medium settings.
Just wanted to get some input or suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
