Battlefield 4 PC performance thread

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?

Yes, specs are:

i5 3570k @ 4.5
16GB
EVGA GTX 570 Superclocked (2 x SLI)

I played the beta thoroughly and after the final quad-core patch the game would run at 1080/60 on high. The real problem was whatever Windows 7 bug the beta had. The glitching was never fixed and I found I had to run at medium to make sure the regular stuttering didn't knock it down below 60fps.
I'm expecting the launch game to not have the stuttering, but I'm also now on Windows 8.1 to get those sweet extra frames in their DX11.1 renderer.
 
I'm getting the stuttering, too. I want to think it's not unplayable, but it's hampering my experience for sure. It doesn't seem to be settings related, as I clear the recommended specs and it persists at very minimal resolution. Hmm.

7870 & i5-3570k

Apart from the stuttering how is it running otherwise? I have a very similar setup (i5-3570,7870xt)

Also, can anyone confirm if they have improved the controller support in SP for BF4...it was unplayable in BF3 due to QTEs having keyboard cues but the relevant controller button did nothing.
 
Can someone PLEASE answer whether this has full controller support on PC? BF3 didn't have it. I will playing in a 4 man group, primarily in vehicles. The deciding factor is controller support. Please no "use kbm" talk please. Just confirm if it works for me please. Thanks to anyone who checks for me!

It seems to be very fluid. My hampered movement doesn't seem to affect the smoothness of the waves and explosions, even at very high settings. I'm really eager to get this sorted out!
 
GTX780
16GB DDR3 1866
i7 3770k OC @ 4.5
Windows 7

Running everything at ultra and the game looks great. As mentioned in the B4 OT, I'm getting constant freezing 5-10 minutes in. Have to open up task manager, B4 has stopped responding, blah blah blah.

Real annoying.
 
For those playing both single and multiplayer, is there much of a performance difference between the two?

I played the beta and it did. I'm downloading the game now, and will tell you shortly.
 
Intel Core i5 3570,
12gb DDR3 1800mhz Kingston,
GF GTX670,
128GB SSD OCZ VERTEX 4
1TB HDD WD x3 (game installed on second)
Win7 x64

Game runs around 60-70fps on all-ultra with 2x MSAA. FPS is smooth, dropped below 40 only in fontaine plaza in Shanghai

Hell, i was VERY surprised after quite laggy beta

That's amazing if true and much better than my performance with the same card in the beta.

Fucking EA and their non global launches.
 
Intel Core i5 3570k,
16GB DDR3 RAM
OC'd 7950 (1150 Mhz)
Win7 x64
Catalyst 13.11beta7

Settings on Ultra except for effects, turned that down to high.
2x MSAA

Lowest FPS dip I got so far was to 58 when the building in the Baku mission collapsed.
Running way better than the beta.

Yep, the multiplayer does have decent controller support. I played the Beta with a controller. If you don't mind letting me know how QTEs are handled in SP with a controller too I'd be forever grateful!
 
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.
Thanks. I saw the alt-tab solution up the page. I'll give it a shot later. I've got an AMD card, so I don't think I can use Afterburner (right?). Will look into Precision.
 
Is there an FPS counter console command?

I saw someone mention before mentioned a console command that seemed to help with performance. Any idea what that's about?
 
Wow I was afraid my computer would be put to death but this runs very good in SP on my specs.

AMD FX4100 OC'd to 4.1ghz
MSI Radeon 7870 OC'd 1108 Core/1200 Memory
8GB DDR3 RAM

I played up until that first big area where it's a huge vista with the birds flying over and the soldiers all the way across. On ultra I get anywhere from 30-60fps and on high 40-60fps. Oh and can anyone get this working with the Dualshock 4?? It has weird button config and the buttons even after configured are wrong. Square and x is the dpad etc.

With an AMD card I would probably use Afterburner since Precision is EVGA, it probably doesn't matter as they both are the same underlying program, but it's a preference thing.
 
It's much better than what I expected from playing the beta.

Beta 50-60fps on ultra
Final ~80fps (capped) on ultra

On a:
4670k @ stock
GTX 770 2gb
8gb ram etc.

And windows 7.

In the beta if you typed perfoverlay.drawfps 1 it would bring up the fps counter, not sure if its still there in the final version.

Thanks so much!

Please check if its mapped exactly like console. Console allows multiple functions to a single button, whereas BF3 PC only allowed 1 function per button IIRC. So for example use and reload couldn't both be 1 button. I honestly forget what the main issue was but I think I'm correct on that. Whatever it was made it unplayable without kbm nearby.

Thanks again man!
 
My 560TI is going to get murdered. I'm hoping for a mix of medium and high. I think I might need to look into the 700 series to make it another 18 months till I do a full upgrade.
 
I5 2400
16 ram
GTX 2g 650ti SC

Runs awesome with everything on high.

Any idea of FPS exactly? Mind if I ask the res?

Trying to get an idea of what medium-tier GPUs can do with this as my 680m isn't really top of the line any more (at least compared to desktop stuff).
 
played a bit last night, the improvement over BETA is significant.
Feels like a different game!
For some reason it even feels smoother then BF3 on higher settings...

Specs:
Intel i7 870 OC@3.5ghz
asus p55 sabertooth mobo
8GB dual ch ddr3 1333mhz(almost)
evga 680gtx 2GB stock OC

mix of high and ultra settings @1920x1440 and im usually around 60-80fps
 
my specs

i7 920 @ 2.67 (old i know but hope mantle can help me out lol)
6 gb ram (ordered 12gb should come this week)
290x =D
win 8.1

i get 40-60 fps on 1080p ultra bud it depends on the map... im hoping once i upgrade my ram and mantle comes out i should be fine, might OC my cpu if not

I would OC the CPU. There should be tons of OC potential for an i7 920. With your performance using a 290X, I'm sure the CPU at default clocks is bottlenecking your machine.

that CPU clock is kicking your 290x's ass. that you haven't OC'd it yet is making my heart hurt.
 
Anyone with a 560 ti been able to play yet?

I've got a 2500k and the 560 ti but only 4 gigs of RAM and I'm having to put a lot of settings (plus reduce my resolution to 900p) on low to keep it playable but it still hangs and occassionally stutters. I'm hoping its the RAM that's bottlenecking me because doubling it is like £200 cheaper than getting a worthwhile GPU update :P

OC your CPU, your 290x should crushing this game @1080p
 
Anyone else have their ambient sound cut out while playing? I had it happen during a couple games last night. I remember there being a similar bug in BF3.
 
Can't wait to get my R9 280X for Christmas, along with the Mantle API enhancement from DICE and see how this runs on my PC. I am running with a 6770 now, so it is almost not even worth trying lol.

I will anyway of course.

I am guessing 720p @ Medium/High settings to get 60fps. We'll see.
