Other than us all being winded after a few minutes, I have to wonder where we would put our bourbon/beer...

Yeah, that is about right, especially being over cucumbered...

I would like to update my previous statements regarding BF 1. The coolest part of the trailer was 7 Nation Army, not killing someone with an e-tool. Also I want to see more than the 3 seconds of gameplay in the trailer before making a conclusion about the game (although trenches will suck, and this is the same company that keeps releasing Metro).
-Kraz
This is pretty funny, and yes, I have tasted all of them (and drink a couple regularly).

I'm with Wreck... I run a 500GB C-drive with OS, programs, games, etc. and have the User files on a 2TB d-drive. I haven't jumped to Win 10 on my desktop where I do most of my gaming, but I have done it on my laptop and I like it better than 8.1. I may need to fire up BF4 just to see what the FPS difference is.
-Kraz
I like the idea. The only problem is I just checked and at best I have 2 bottles of liquor and 2 growlers of beer. That is not going to be enough to last a single night if I take a drink every time Current yells "Bullshit!" :-P

Yeah, looks like the CPU is the bottleneck. When I bought the 8150, I remember wondering if I should have gotten the 8350 instead. I guess this answers that question.
The GPU clock stayed pretty consistent at over 1000 mHz. Not sure where VRAM is on the dial/screen. I was happy to find the stuff that is obvious. Apparently the management training I have been in lately is sapping away my technical skills.
Hmmm... 8350 is $180 on Newegg and the 9590 is $240. It will be a few weeks before I can swing it, but it may be worth the extra $60 to go with the 9590. Now I guess I need to look at overclocking for the next month or so...
Thanks for all the help!

It has been a little busy the past few days...
With tweaking the settings that Cool suggested, I ran EVGA Precision and found:
With Shadowplay running & dual monitors:
CPU ~50 pct
Memory ~ 6.5 GB
GPU 1019
Volt around 1.100
Without Shadowplay it seemed to be a little better, but CPU increased:
CPU >60, usually 70-80pct
Memory - 5.5 GB
GPU 1167
Volt 1.2
Between what Cool and Dog say, I'm starting to think it may be the CPU... How dependent is BF for CPU? Looks like I need to look into OC or get a new CPU.

I couldn't tell a significant difference with only 1 monitor.
Acer is listed as #1
Multi-display/mixed-GPU accel - Use Global Setting (multiple display performance mode)
PSU is 700W
Cool
Could be AMD bottleneck, haven't tried overclocking. CPU runs around 60-70 degrees when gaming.
I haven't turned off Shadowplay in a while to test it.
I will try the settings you recommended in game.
Max Pre-Rendered frames is Use Global Setting (Use the 3d application setting)
The application runs on the SSD, and I can load in pretty quick. There is a Battlefield 4 folder on the other disk, but it only has a few files less than 1MB in size.
I haven't run EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner. Will check those. I have CPUID HW Monitor which just gives me temp, voltage, etc.

Ok, for the life of me, I cannot figure out my graphics settings for Battlefield (or anything else to some degree). On the loading and post-match screen I show upwards of 140 fps at times, but during the game I still dip to 30-40 fps, like on Shanghai and Flood Zone last night. Also, the game seems to be laggy when I look down the sights. Here is what I have and am currently set up with, any help would be appreciated.

I have tried dropping down to 1 monitor, but I find that when I do, Shadowplay will cause the game to stall when I hit F9. It doesn't do this when I am running dual monitors with Vent and Firefox on the other screen.

You may want to look at a GTX 770. I think Current and Sleepingdog use it.
-Kraz
Doesn't that conversation occur EVERY week?
-Kraz
I see King has learned to curve his bullets.
That's the same thing that happens to me when I play Borderlands 2 via Steam and it is also the reason that I only play over LAN with my oldest.
I'm pretty sure Wreck got you booted off the Borderlands 2 world for burning bridges...
-Kraz
Played the beta a little, and I think I was right. It seems like a cross between Battlefield and Payday. You even get shot while behind an armored car.
-Kraz
Looks to me like a cross between Battlefield and Payday.

I can't remember the length, either 47" or 49". Whichever is the standard length for k5s/GM trucks-pre 88.
I appreciate the offer but I sold the Bronco last summer
Don't tell us.... you bought a Prius.

Looks like they took cues from BF4 focusing on the cut scenes instead of making a quality game.
-Kraz
Apparently somebody doesn't want Crawln taking tags...
-Kraz
I'm confused. Where's the bourbon? Cool video though.
-Kraz
LOL! I'm going to call you Alfie! C'mon Alfie! Try and keep up Alfie!
Sincerely,
Mr. Moon
The creepiest part about that video is that he has the same car I do...
-Kraz
Not a single post telling me how shitty my taste in music is.
I am disappoint.
We all thought you knew...
-Kraz
That sounds like him!
