Run the game on low settings.

With his specs that shouldn't be necessary, and that's not really a helpful response. What resolution/detail are you running at TC? If you're maxing out the game that performance range looks pretty normal, and 29 FPS is still plenty playable, so I don't know where you got "horrible" from. The game has somewhat of a reputation for being buggy, you could try newer drivers.

Highly unlikely, unless you are enabling vsync and you can't maintain a steady 60 FPS in which case the FPS whil drop to a multiple of your refresh rate. You could try disabling Vsync if you have it enabled to see if that helps. Also, you'll want to make sure you're using the newest drivers as the game is so new.

If you're truly running the game maxed, and I'm assuming at 1920x1080, those numbers seem about right according to this benchmark: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2014/05/19/amd-radeon-r9-280-review-feat-xfx/4
You could try newer drivers, but it looks like you're probably going to have to reduce settings or upgrade your GPU for better performance at max settings as BF4 is a very demanding game at those settings.

I updated to the newest one, its just wierd that it drops to 29.. the whole reason i bought a pc was to play games with more fps and better visuals

You do realize that at anything over medium settings, you're already going to be superior to the console versions of the game when running at 1920x1080 in regards to performance and visuals. The Ultra settings were designed for high-end systems, and you need a high-end card(s) to get good performace at those settings. If you're only dipping to 29 when (presumably) a lot is going on, that's still pretty good and more than playable considering many console games run at 30 average dipping far lower when things heat up.

yeah but lowering my settings to low only gives me like 10 more fps..
