And resolution plays a huge key in this. Im able to switch to any resolution I want and when you compare 1080p to 900p, there's quite the difference in what you see and performance. At 900p, one of my 670s by itself was able to average well above 120 frames in the mp, at that resolution. While 1600x900 isn't the end of the world, it simply can't compare to 1080p in smoothness. What you have to understand is when people say it looks the same as pc, it does I'm sure but the pc version would have to be gimped I'm sorry and I'm not shutting on ps4. You simply can't say 900p looks the same or close to 1080p because you might as well admit 720p isn't far from 900p.

There's absolutely no way your one 670 can play 120fps on ultra on MP. VRAM itself would limit you from that. 900p to 1080p doesn't double or triple your framerate.

At 900p a single 670 can average above 120fps. The difference of 1600x900 verse 1920x1080p ain't small performance wise.

At what settings, ultra? I just did a check on the test range (which is far, far less demanding than MP) on all ultra at 900p with an overclocked 280x and got less than 120fps on average. Going back to 1080p gives roughly 30% higher framerates. Care to show your results because it sounds entirely unbelievable. Go look up benchmarks if you don't believe me, there's absolutely no way a single 670 can get what you're claiming.

Long post, and these photos aren't the best quality because I wanted to make my point quick and fast. My setup is two GTX 670s in sli, windows 8 and 8GB of DDR3 ram. I disabled sli to test my single 670 and while I did jump the gun and claimed a single 670 can average 120fps, I was not too far off in my claim.
Here are the settings for my test run on my single 670

As you can see, the settings are pretty much ultra and I will share photos of the framerate I was getting while running 1600x900.

OP Locker room isn't a demanding map so I was able to get 110fps as my average

Outside on OP Locker room, framerate was going from 100 to 136fps on a single 670.

On floodzone, I was able to average 95fps.

On the radio telescope map I was able to average 90fps but the fps was all over the damn place.
Also I wanted to test my single 670 at actual 1080p at high settings and I got really great results

Wide viewing area and I was still able to get above 60fps average on a single 670, at 1080p and high settings. That should be proof enough that a single 670 or 660 is more than enough for the life of the xbone and ps4. The only thing that might hold back a 2GB 660 or 680 is its ram. Either you are lying about having a 280x or you have a bad gpu if you can't get above 60fps average.
Also a bonus

My gpus run at 1189mhz, and for whatever reason it only ran at 1110mhz and I was able to get the performance I got LOL.

1680x1050 isn't the same as 1600x900, thought you'd like to know.

Understand that much, why not post a video so you can discredit all the websites that do performance reviews? Seems like your card is better than any other 670 out there.

In all honestly I'm not going to go out of my way to prove more than I have already. I admit I was over zealous in my initial claim, but that doesn't change the fact that a 670 runs circles around the ps4 at the same resolution and higher quality assets. I'm not trying to flame the ps4 because it will be a great system but please don't say silly things. There are no 1600x900 benchmarks that I have seen, only 1680x1050 and upward. My 670 is far from the best but it's better than reference 670 by a bit and those review sites use reference card fyi.

First off, I never said I couldn't get above 60fps, with those settings I'm easily getting over 100fps when there is literally nothing going on, which is what you seem to have most of your screens showing. The 280x gets significantly higher fps in BF4 than a 670, which I'm sure you know already thus why I used it as a frame of reference to question your initial claim. I can show screenshots of 200fps with me staring at nothing happening, does that mean I'm averaging BF4 at that framerate? Obviously not. The PS4 version is better optimized for what hardware you're paying for, this has always been the case for consoles vs. PC.
EDIT: Just did a few tests with your posted settings at approximately the same location on operation locker. That view gives me ~160fps, drops to low as 90s occasionally looking at other views. This is matching the screenshots posted with no explosions or battles on screen. Clearly you will not be getting 120fps during firefights here unless you're always looking at the sky or something.

Insane For Sony
1680x1050 is 20% higher than 1600x900. The site linked above shows that 670 runs benchmark at 38FPS on Ultra settings, so if you adjust that by 20% it would be 45FPS maybe?. Now, PS4 settings are obviously not Ultra but some kind of a mix, but saying that it runs circles sounds a bit overzealous in light of actual measured numbers. We don't have the same benchmark to run on console BF4, but in SP footage framerate hardly ever flinched below 60FPS. You have to also keep in mind that console version is capped at 60FPS, so even if it does run at higher than that 50% of the time, it won't ever be measured and calculated into average.
For generally a console gamer, those visuals look un-fecking believable on PS4, both Multi my jaw was on the flaw 
and that little bit more in Single player, those large files are NIGHT and day from the 1080p/1440p Youtube videos. Seriously cant wait for Next Gen. The X1's Dark visuals would annoy me tho, that needs sorted for X1 owners (unless it is just a big cover up)

Easily the highest quality vids I've seen since all this began.
