Bumping this since it was at the bottom of the last page.
The beta was unplayable for me even on the lowest setting so I am very apprehensive about buy the game.
It's lag on the server, it's like you run 20 feet, then it hitches, your run another 20 feet, then it hitches, ect, ect.
Just leave the server and find a new one, I'm not sure what causes it, but it seems like each time it's happened there has been somebody connected to the game with a >300ms ping...idk.

770. Even though it will run into memory issues it will still beat out the 760 easily. Save up for the 4gb 770 if you can
is the Zotac GeForce GTX 770 4GB a good choice ? it is 80$ less then the EVGA or MSI

I am not sure if I should buy this on PC or PS4,
My specs are: i5 3575K @ 4.4 GHZ but my GPU is an old Radeon 6950 HD slightly overclocked.
Where would I get better visuals/frame rate? I don't want to play on low settings on PC, a good medium and some high settings would be ideal.
Oh and my monitor res is 1680 x1050

I think your CPU is great... and probably the rest of your build as well. I was facing the same dilemma and have a PS4 pre-ordered. For PS4 at launch, there is nothing that I want to play besides Battlefield 4. I decided to get the Asus 280X ($309), OC it and not touch the rest of my PC components. I will get my PS4 and sell it at launch, use the leftover money to pay for the 280X and buy the PS4 a few months down the road (when there are games).
Just weighing in with current performance:
7870
i5-3570k
8 gb DDR3 1600
SSD
Win 7 x64
all stock clocks (for now)
Following the discovery that effects level is the biggest detriment to performance, I lowered that to high. Everything else is Ultra with 2x MSAA. consistently between 70-80 fps in multi now!
Your resolution probably makes up for the slight difference in our cards. I think you'll run it swimmingly.

I am curious as well. I'm still running an i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz. I have been putting off upgrading my mobo/CPU for a while and I'm wondering if it's finally time to bite the bullet.

I doubt your going to find many people with a i7 980x to compare it to but with it's 12 threads and compared to lesser CPUs in that same generation, you should be fine.
Also, the i7 920 seems to keep up well with the newer CPUs based on benchmarks and my own person experience.

Well, thanks the low native res on my monitor (1680x1050), I'm getting 80+ fps consistently with everything but effects on Ultra on SP. Only noticeable drop was the part was when going over the small hill into the construction site, got into mid 60's there.
Anyone wager if my rig can keep 60+ fps with these settings on MP?

Once you get uses to Windows 8's speed you'll never want to go back to 7. Also System refresh is the best thing Microsoft has done in a long time. Kiss having to do fresh installs in order to get your system running nice smooth again goodbye.
I'm getting upwards of 80 in mp with similar specs and the same settings.

Siege of Shanghai has been the worst map for me performance-wise as well. It drops below 60fps in a lot of areas.
Launching from shortcuts or Origin only opens a browser tab to Battlelog. You launch the game from there.

PCGH review is now out (SP):
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Battl...field-4-Test-Benchmarks-Grafikkarten-1095050/
Judging by GameGPU, PCGH, PCLAB, Sweclockers reviews and some of impressions here it seems like the SP is actually more demeaning than the MP. How is this possible I don't know.

How it's possible? Because SP is eye-candy galore with every visual effect coming out da ass. MP is toned down significantly in comparison.
Wise choice there.
Card only hits 75C, so I doubt it. I think it's more just that this game does not like my OC, even though it's stable in all other games. Gonna go back to stock speeds (for this card 680 DCII Top it's still 1200MHz) and see if that helps.
There's way more stuff going on in SP when it comes to effects, smoke and shit that really make the GPU sweat.
65 FOV? Yuck.D=
I'm downloading the game right now, any info on the perfomance of the AMD radeon 7970 6gb edition?
Mi current setup:
Intel i5 3570 K (stock speed)
8gb gskill ares 1600
Sapphire toxic 7970 6gb (stock speed)
Samsung 840 SSD 120 gb.
I'm able to max the game and getting a decent perfomance with this setup? I don't want to OC the cpu and the gpu because the temps on air and the bitfenix prodigy are a little high.

lol why don't you just try a match and see? I think you'll be just fine in MP
Yeah but witch version of the 770 gtx 4gb should I get ? Any recommendation ?
zotac is 369$, gigabytes is 399$ and EVGA are 400$+
I know - neither of them do that. I can only open a game from Battlelog in Firefox (not in Chrome or in IE).
The campaign is destroying my computer. First, I crashed immediately after
I reboot the computer and launch it again, and then after
I start getting crazy artifacts, and then it locks up on me.
I hate when this happens, because I'm pretty confident my OC is to blame (680 clocked to 1200/whatever on the memory, I forget...but it never gets above 54 C), but it's been stable in every other game I've thrown at it.
I know the game is pretty crash-prone, but is anyone else getting artifacts on a stable OC? I've updated to the latest non-beta drivers, btw.

Did anyone just download a patch? When I opened origin, something downloaded rather quickly.

Zotac is good brand. EVGA is the best but really unless your looking at coolers ect the Zotac will be fine. What kind of cooler does it use jw?

Gigabyte's 3x cooler has been great for my two 670s. I never go past 60 degrees.

Was considering upgrading my 570 this year because of this game, but I think I'll postpone that. Lowering some settings really helped, or it's just Shanghai post-collapse that it can't quite handle (so far, knock on wood). Oh and single player is just barely playable maxed, but who cares.
1080p, SSAO, 2xMSAA, FXAA medium, Textures, filtering and effects lowered to high, and at least the Goldeneye map runs really rather nice. 52FPS average over a 19 minute 64p round. I'm positively surprised.

Yep you'll be fine.
Haven't heard of PC restarts. Try repairing the install in origin maybe?
I'm having an OCed 7970 (3GB) - playing at ultra with 4xmsaa in SP works well but stable 60FPS are only possible withour msaa. MP seems fine though.
Tried it, no luck, still randomly restarting. Event viewer lists it as the source as power related, but my psu is 500W and I've never had a problem with it before.

Unless your PSU is broken/breaking down there's no reason a 500W PSU can't handle your setup.

Just FYI, anyone having problems on the map Siege of Shanghai can fix this by lowering effects settings. That smoke kills machines, even my 290x is struggling there.
yeah this map is the worst for fps by far its amazing i get 60+ on every map but this one it drops to 45 at times and i also have a 290x
