I would agree Optimization for sure the 680 4gb is a monster
Still the Video I posted people have said the same thing so it is out putting at least playable frames

It's the intel chipset of your motherboard. Nothing to do with the issue at hand however.
Cause you don't. SSD's are nice but not entirely necessary. For gaming, they only affect loading times.and I haven't seen a need for a HDD,
The BIOS or Basic Input Out System is the writing/screens that appear after the PC goes beep before it loads the Operating System.I'm not too sure what you mean by the latest BIOS.
Put simply, It "talks to" and "initiates/controls" the hardware when turning the PC on. It's where you set your hardware settings.
Updating the BIOS is generally recommended since each release contains bug fixes etc. But it's also "If it ain't broke/don't fix" thing too. If your PC was 'fine' before, then it's unlikely the BIOS has anything to do with your issue.
Benchmarks like Unigine Heaven 4.0 are useful to compare to other systems as mentioned. If your card is under performing then the results will show it.
As mentioned, monitoring temps and clock speeds with either Afterburner or EVGA Precision X will also determine if the card is hitting it's full clock speeds as well as showing utilization.
If ticking the "perform clean installation" box while installing the 331.65 drivers doesn't work, you can uninstall the nvidia drivers first and then use an app like Driver Fusion to "clean" the remnants. Then re-install the drivers.
Performing a fresh OS installation should be considered an absolute last resort.
BF4 is not the best comparison. Aside from immature drivers, other users with lower cards may be using "similar" settings but missing key differences like post processing used etc.
I just installed a fresh driver.
This is the result

I was getting around 50c for the temperature while running the test, for some reason half way through the test both my screens blacked out for a couple of seconds and then it like selected the HDMI input again and everything came back, after that the temperature rose up to 70c.
edit: when I record I get around 60c
everything looks on point
I still stand by my post your card is fine you need to either wait till they work on battlefield fixes or play it like it is
In the "PC Custom Builds and Overclocking" subforum, there are several threads dedicated to GPU performance. There may even be a benchmark or two that you can run and compare to what others are getting. I suspect it may be a driver problem, coupled with an optimization problem. You can completely remove all old drivers and install the latest, but can't do much for Nvidia optimization for BF4. I don't know how you feel about overclocking your 680, or how much you will gain, but if you aren't having temperature issues, you could always give it a go. Several people on this forum OC their graphics cards and will be more than willing to help you do that.
Also, there is NOTHING wrong with your graphics card. It's still a monster.
Ignore the min, but that looks about right for the card.
The blanking out "could be" the driver failing and recovering.I was getting around 50c for the temperature while running the test, for some reason half way through the test both my screens blacked out for a couple of seconds and then it like selected the HDMI input again and everything came back, after that the temperature rose up to 70c.
Type Event viewer in the search box, Open Event Viewer>Custom Views>Administrative Events and see if there any" Warning! / Display / Event ID 4101 "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
Some apps/game don't like having extended monitors enabled when going full screen on primary. As a test, when gaming, benching try disabling the secondary monitor.
What app are you using to monitor temps?
Essentially you need to discover if your card is hitting full 3D clocks under load.
