    Appreciate any advice here, below is my current spec based on purchase in 2014. System struggling with BFV, so does it make sense to upgrade graphic card and/or ram .... or start fresh with a new system?

    Haswell 22nm Technology
    RAM

    Motherboard
    ASRock Z87 Pro3 (CPUSocket)
    Graphics

    4096MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 290 Series (ASUStek Computer Inc)

    Yes, upgrade graphics card.

    For Battlefield, AMD > Nvidia. The €330 RX 5700 outperforms the €500 RTX 2070 Super in this title!

    You're also correct on RAM speed - the engine benefits from fast, low-CAS (latency) RAM.

    When you say struggling what do you mean, at ultra settings? 4770k definitely still ok for the game and as long as ram is dual channel than so is ddr3. I would imagine an r9 290 would still run at medium-high settings 60fps handily enough. something like a 1660 super for £199 is a big upgrade.
