Extremely Low Fps Despite Proper Machine

for me middle had always better performance for some reason than very low
and very high or middle dont seem to make a difference realy

Somewhere along the way in my testing, I'd decided the thing about setting Power management mode to "Prefer Max" was a mistake.
See: If the card is down-clocking, it means you've turned your graphics down too low, chasing a CPU bottleneck …
It gets … strange for us in CryEngine3-DX9 Land, seeing as how Particles are part of physics, which is done on the CPU, here …

and especially the cpu seems to be bored, with nothing to do
sometimes I think the game is putting cycles on wait/ or the hardware waiting for something to load over the net or server calculations, which would have a certain degree of delay of course
would also be interesting to c if reducing the speed of ur lan connection degrades the performance as well
e.g. performance in testing grounds is always better for everyone it seems, not just by a few fps, but everything is calculated on the local hardware

So: When I first started trying to figure out Teh Problem (and I'd decided the servers weren't updating me quickly :-] ), I kept looking at Windows Task Manager … with the one graph of all eight threads my (then) i7-920 could put out.
Bad Plan.
Look at this:
The first line is what TaskMan will tell you; The second line is much more informative, as it's a composite of the most active thread for any given moment. And the other three are those with the highest average, pick out of the twelve my current i7-990X does.
I assure you there is at lest one busy core in your box: I believe this distribution to be wonky …

deinstall the game
and reinstall it
patch must've messed something up
Goose:
I would say so as well, I guess the Intel cores are just stronger than the AMD ones, so its less of a problem on Intel? ->squeezing out more performance
is the load distribution the same in testing grounds?
also what happens to you're fps if u disable HT in the bios settings?

The one time I tryed turning of HT, I stuck to Da' Grounds, and fps didn't change; I have read commentary on CryEngine liking HT, and the typical load I remember on the i7-920 with a later nVida driver was three "loaded" cores, plus two more "sorta's", which tended to be an HT pair.

i5 intel core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4ghz
Z87- C Asus motherboard
8 gigs of Kingston RAM
550 Watt PSU
all the other {Scrap} like DVDr ect.
And here is the shocker. I have a Nvidia 780 installed and running. The whole system is overclocked. PSU wattage doesn't factor so much in todays hardware.
Sounds like maybe your AMD Catalyst Control Center is forcing 30 fps. Check your setting.

a quality PSU 550 watts is better than a no name 700 watts
although quality has improved generaly speaking for all PSU over the years (read it on Anandech, personally I dont try out a new PSU every week of course)
but I stated earlyier: too little power from PSU means instability(or too old codensators ;-), had that one personally), not low fps
ur hardware doesnt know how much power it can draw, it doesnt throttle down because of not enough power delivered
if u dont crash, than u got enough power

A possible cause of low FPS is core-park switching.
Your hardware should be sufficient for good performance if it was running at full performance. Ergo, chances are it is not running at full performance for some reason. Thermal throttling is usually a suspect. But your rig is running very cool, so that is unlikely to be the issue.

also make sure you have the full version of DX9 installed. Yes windows 7 does come with a basic version not a full version.
DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)

Sent him a pm about this before your post, wonderful utility and stopped my stuttering! I've been sending it to everyone I know and ran it on my kids computers. Great tool to have!

Also, have you run a repair on your MWO install lately?
These, I find, are usually the two most over-looked probable causes of issues.

That said, it shouldn't be like this. If the game were better optimized it would not require a $200+ CPU to run well. Planetside 2 had similar issues (although in that game you sometimes have 200 people fighting in the same area of the map) and they recently released an optimization patch that took my framerate from 45-50 FPS on ultra settings to a steady 90 FPS. It's all about using programming techniques that limit the amount of unnecessary information your CPU has to process in order to render the dynamic objects in the scene. Hopefully PGI will work this out next year. The CPU requirements for MW:O are ridiculous for a 15v15 battle.
