i've been informed by the console comparison thread that you're full of shit and no way is anyone getting anything like a steady 60fps with that card at those settings.
sorry to break it to you like that, you must be devastated.

Any 570SLI performance numbers yet?
The beta had horribly broken SLI support for some reason with GPU utilization a constant 40% or so.

gtx 670 ftw OC
i5-2500k OC
8gb ram
Windows 8.1
latest drivers
Game runs great at 1080p with everything maxed out, except @ 2xMSAA and using SSAO. Getting pretty consistent 60 fps. Very pleased!
Beautiful game

.Yeah, just tested my twin 580GTX SLI setup and the scaling seems very good.

Yeah, I was wondering about this too.
Man, I'm also super curious to see how the mobile people are running this. My 680m is a beast of a laptop card but still, it's no 680 or 7950 so I'm still torn between this version or the PS4 one.

Anyone else getting a DirectX error when trying to launch the game? I've tried everything I could google, but nothing seems to help 
Plug the cartridge in on the top of the PC and go.

Any advice on hyperthreading? On/off?
Looking at this article, it seems the performance without SMT was superior after the latest patch in the beta:

On the inside of the case you probably have those nice trays where you can put in a game by folding the case double, after that just put a cup with coffee in the holder on the outside that you get by pressing a button and voila, you can game.
You should run it fine, very much so. What I noticed is that Crossfire does not like vsync in BF4.
I'd like some proof, then. Should be easy enough to provide.
I find it hard to believe that someone is achieving better results with less powerful hardware. That doesn't exactly make a lot of sense.
It's not like I would play BF4 with a gamepad, though. Come on.
Beta performance was patchy as hell for me, it was all over the place from 30-45fps. In BF3, I could manage a good mix of High/Ultra with no AA and have a steady 55-60fps.

Any point in me going for the PC version or should I pick this up with my launch PS4? I have no real preference when it comes to controller vs. kb/m.

Sounds like you and me are very much in a similar position and I keep going back and forth on what to do, especially with friends playing on both versions.
i5 2500k OC, 6970, 8GB, Windows 7. Beta was all over the place but launch build is better for W7 users. I think I'm getting a copy of Windows 8 here soon as well so that might help.
I just want my 1080p and hope for "High-ish" settings.

anybody tried messing around with the .exe's ? I have a feeling x86 is working smoother for me than x64, but that may have been depending on the servers I was joining last night ...
in Origin, right-click on BF4 and select game properties to force either
game is very smooth once the server works properly; 1080p Ultra (except deferred AA) @ well over 90 fps usually
CPU usage is pretty damn high, looks like DICE have been focusing on improving multithreading! And I haven't checked with any tools but SLI seems to work fine as well.

I'm running Windows 8.1 with the latest beta drivers but it's nowhere near BF3 levels of performance.

Sold my "gaming laptop" and building a PC instead. The last bit (my motherboard) should be arriving today. i7 4770k + 280x + 8gb RAM. Hopefully that should do well enough on this game
I dunno if it's the newest nvidia drivers or just optimizations from beta, but the game seems to run much better. I can enable 4xMSAA now while still maintaining ~50-60fps at 1080p with Ultra settings. Really happy with the performance. I was planning on upgrading to a 780 but it doesn't even seem worth it now, 4GB 760 OC runs the game just fine.

Performance is great for me (mixture of high and ultra, 2x MSAA, 1920 x 1200), only occasional hitches bring the framerate into the 50s in 64 player servers. My i7 930 has proven to be an unstoppable beast!

8GB DDR3 1600

I'm considering Windows 8.1 for the potential gains but the thing that seriously holds me back the most are the potential Dark Souls GFWL Windows 8 issues.

I ran the 13.11 beta v7 drivers and the game performed like ass with stuttering everywhere. I would stay at 13.9 if you have crossfired 7970s.

Really want to purchase this but I could not even launch the beta when it was up because it kept freezing during loading. Anybody with similar specs to mine that can give me an idea of performance I'll get?

Is there a 1080p/ultra @ 60fps in my future? I don't mind turning down or off AA to achieve it.

I have very similar specs and I'm planning to play BF4 on it until Maxwell. I do not expect 1080/60 at ultra even without AA.
You will definitely be able to play at 1080/60 if you turn some things down like shadows and post processing. The 570 is a good card with a wide bus, but limited vram means it's had its day for me.
I didn't have any crashes with the driver set. Just the usual launch day issues with servers.

Thanks riflen. I guess that doesn't sound too bad, maybe I'll just play around with the settings until it's perfect. Are you also running SLI?
HBAO really looks bad in this game, i wish i could use HBAO+
So much this! Also HBAO+ not only looks better, it's faster!
I'm running at i7 3770K @ 4.5 Ghz and two GTX 680's in SLI. With shadowplay running in the background and SSAO (HBA murders my frame rate if I have Vsync on) and at 2560x1440p. 2x MSAA + High PostAA, everything else set to ultra and I'm getting a smooth 60 FPS with dips into the 40's only twice so far in the single-player.
Man this game looks ridiculously good at times.
I am playing OK on 331.65. I do get a bit of lag or what I call "Battlefield judder", alt-tabbing out and back into the game fixes it. Overall the game seems about as smooth as BF3, not silky smooth like 60fps should be, but noticeably above 30fps.
How does it compare to MP beta?
Have you tried both .exes? Some are having trouble with the x64 one and the 32-bit clears it up.

I can't wait to see what gains the Mantle update brings. If I can just get 20-30% better performance, I should be able to have max Ultra settings with a consistent 60+ fps with my 7970.
I actually had decent performance during the beta compared to most. I'm seeing maybe a 10% gain personally. I never had the CPU bound hitching that many others experienced. Based on what we heard from repi on twitter, HT may have saved me the pain others were suffering.

Possibly a noob question....
How exactly are you guys keeping track of CPU/GPU Usage & SLI Scaling?
I was using MSI-Afterburner to keep track of everything, but since it does not support 64bit I am unable to use my usual on-screen display through riva tuner to watch this information.
I feel so lost, without my MSI After burner OSD.

Right click BF4 in Origin and click Game Properties, change When launching this game to Battlefield 4 (x86).
As I mentioned above, I've got a i7 3770k and 2 GTX 680's in SLi. I'm running windows 8.1 though. In single player (with shadowplay recording on the background) I get 60 FPS 95% of the time, and a few dips into the high 40's on occasion (most other idps are into the 50's). Everything on ultra except AO which is set at SSAO and MSAA 2x with PostAA at high.
I'm running at 2560x1440 though, so if you're running at just 1080p, you are golden.
Does alt-tabbing fix the stutter for you when it crops up? Also you can limit the FPS to 60 in Afterburner/Precision, that should make it a smoother experience.
Does anyone know if autoexec.cfg can be used to limit the game to 60 without the use of OC tools? That seemed to work more consistently in BF3 for me.
