    Are you hitting 3.4ghz. (turbo) under load?

    "The Core i5-2400 is the spiritual successor to the quite popular Core i5-750. This mainstream quad-core processor features a default clock of 3.1Ghz, but it can Turbo Boost up to 3.4Ghz in lightly-threaded workloads. Much like the i5-2500K it does not support Hyper-Threading. However, unlike the aforementioned K-series chip, it does regrettably feature a locked CPU multiplier. Thankfully, Intel has thrown overclockers a bone, and have unlocked four additional Turbo multipliers above the highest Turbo frequency. As you will see in our overclocking section, this can be used to worthwhile effect in coordination with the base clock (BCLK)."

    And, "Turbo multipliers" sound like you can exceed 3.4ghz. stock.

    Overclocking is dangerous and not worth the risk I've been told my a computer technician to get an I7-3770k Ivy Bridge. But it's $450... I am not paying that to get a 10 - 20% performance increase, this is what eggs me people say "ohh I got a 30% increase in performance" yeah? You do know in 1994 - 1998 there was a 300% increase in performance?

    or FPS no matter what whether it's on Ultra or it's on low drop it down to the smallest rendering size nope still bad FPS bring it up to the highest better FPS than low what? Did all the "Snake Oil" settings -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7,-maxMem=### maxVRAM=#### etc. GPU Frames ahead set to 1 still no avail.

    How do you know the 120Hz monitors are not a gimick? What solid information have you been given in regards to 120Hz monitors other than the companies specifications documentation? Condescending attitude is not going to resolve issues. It's not negative prejudgement it's just looking over the BF4 forums people are very disgruntled with the program and we are now way off topic. and I mean way, this is not "debate forum where nothing gets done". CPU and FPS issues only.

    Additional info

    I reserve judgement

    From an objective point DX has done things most people could never have dreamed of when I was about 16 - 17 I was tracking the work CryEngine were doing with Linear Lightning Calculation and DX 11 Image tessellation. I also got a taste of how anti-aliasing actually works and how bigger the mathematical function is to process it. No wonder PC's have trouble with it is a mixture of trigonmetric functions and base 2 logarithms.

    As stated in multiple PC magazines: PCAuthority,PCMag,APCMag,Atomic, they have said the juries out on whether mantle will mean anything.

    DirectX API was used to do CryEngines linear light calculation, and it was not easy, considering calculating ray-tracing in a manner that was efficient enough to be fast and stable enough to run on PC's without a hitch, but then you look at the "hacker central with all the Crysis games"... Sorry but I respect Microsoft and DirectX how can we just insult microsoft in their face over DirectX after 19 years of it's operation providing a framework for all PC games since 1994. And it would have taken millions and millions of dollars just to develop DirextX

    All the hype about Mantle is a "marketing" gimick just like 100Hz TV which were really (Subfield engines) and 200Hz TV's and 120Hz monitors I maintain objectivity and say that, if people start saying Mantle works then ok, and it needs to be a large enough statistical quantity that warrants it to be looked at. Other than that sit on the fence and observe. Waiting. Watching. Studying. Then and only then make a judgement. But even after you make a judgement things continue to change and maintaining a solid absolute judgement would be flawed in the lack of adaptability and moving with the updates.

    What I think would be truly "revolutionary" would be a "universal graphics development platform" that allowed both AMD and Nvidia to play nice. Sure they can have the proprietary hardware components and software, but have a universal platform in which games can use. Yet that's easier said than done.

    Just like I postponed purchasing BF4 while I wait for the class action to turn out and the quantity of people of keep complaining about crashing and malfunctioning to decrease.

    Gahh can't post links -_-

    P.S Thank you for the help Ranwer

    Mantle won't help, BF4 supports mantle it doesn't help the game is still as unstable and as buggy with no performance increase really in sight. Mantle is also very infant like and, DirectX took from 1994 till today to mature thats what... 19 years of development from DX6 to DX11.2 and mantle has had about 1-2months at most...
