Battlefield 4 PC performance thread

Nice. My rig is pretty similar to yours. Are you on Win7 or 8?
Ultra everything with 4xMSAA and 90 FoV at 1080p. 60-90 FPS depending on map and what's happening, dips under 60 sometimes when shit really blows up. I haven't done a fraps benchmark yet, so I don't know the exact numbers for those settings but it's been at 60+ most of the time during the whole evening I've played and no stuttering.
So no stuttering at all like I experienced with same settings during the beta when I went from 2 to 4xMSAA.
Got 2GB 680 DCII Top, i7 4770K@4,3GHz, 8GB RAM, Win 8.1.
And I fixed my artifacting I was getting earlier, turned down my overclock and now the game doesn't look like this anymore after maybe 15 minutes of playing.
Windows 7. I should mention I'm using the newest AMD beta drivers(released prior to BF4). I'm pretty satisfied with the setup myself. Ever thought of picking up another gpu? Trying to take advantage of the 120hz refresh rate is going to be quite the task.
I guess some people can not appreciate abstract art.
No on screen controller button prompts, and you need a mouse to mess with the menus or the ammo/weapon box. Kinda sucks. All the buttons work fine though once you figure out what is what.
same things been happening to me but i just got a 290x and it started to happen in bf3 also, i do have 1000w power supply but it is 5 years old and if i limit the power limit settings by -50% it stops it from happening
it always happens in the same part of the single player, when you board the attacked ship and open the hatch to dive into the water or just at random in MP.... so i ordered a new power supply pretty sure thats what it is, my old card 5870 only needed 450w 290x says 750+ lol guess the extra strain cant handle it, least thats what i hope it is
so DF employee and "the human framerate counter" (amongst others) called me out for suggesting that a $200 GPU could push 1080p with a mix of high+ultra settings:
how are those 7950s holding up?

Dude can write analysis but I don't think he ever claimed to be an expert on GPU's and their performance. He leaves that up to us real NeoGAF pros.

Well, he was right about the beta map. I get horrible performance in that map. I'm not sure what the deal is with Shanghai.

Yeah I just ordered a new power supply as well. I'm pretty much at a loss as to what else it could be, tried almost everything. We'll see in a few days. Post an update if the new supply fixes the problem.

That Shanghai SP mission with effects at Ultra was a 30-40fps slideshow. After playing this game at 90-120fps it came as a huge shock.

What is the difference between AMD Catalyst and AMD Catalyst Mobility drivers?
Thought mobility was for the laptops.

That's what I thought too but I couldn't find a straight answer online.

Did a test on my rig to see how it stacks up to the PS4 version, resolution set to 1600x900, all settings high except deferred AA (none) and using HBAO.
I tried taking screenshots in the same area as other ps4 vs xb1 comparisons to make it easier to see differences. PC specs on performance graph.

This is for the first level, I stopped the benchmark after the large building collapse

Looks like your single 570 runs much better than the ps4 with better assets. Man, 1080p really does wonders because those shots are burry.

1080p looks magnitudes better, I played through part of the first level with the settings at 1080p before switching down to 900p and it was a world of difference.
But the thing is when I compare my screenshots to certain PS4 screenshots, the lighting on the PS4 screenshots are better quality and it has less aliasing, so I suppose they might actually be using 2xMSAA. My PC definitely uses higher LOD settings though, but the framerate drop in between areas was really jarring (13fps jesus).
Considering just upgrading my graphics card and picking up the PS4 for console exclusives and such around the time Infamous is released. The Nvidia price drop just hit Australia, I can pick up a gtx 770 4GB model for $50 less than the PS4!
I would personally get EVGA though I hear good things about Gigabyte.

Lowering effects to High makes a big difference. Now I can run SSAO and 2xMSAA and still lock at 60fps.
Definitely give it a shot if you have it at ultra and ur not getting the frames you want. I can't really see the difference between high and ultra

Anyone else getting long hitches in the campaign along with giant CPU latency spikes. This even happens during movies playing in between levels. The CPU and the GPU are not overheating but both are overclocked.
Stats will save when the round ends, so you will keep your stats even if you crash out. If the server crashes (which happens a lot on 64 player servers right now) then nothing is saved.
That's because they're compressed JPEGs uploaded to Imgur. Completely pointless.
Oh, ok. That's a little more comforting.
Nice, got about the same everything. Will be running on my crappy old 1440x900 monitor. pity me
Nah my PC is an mATX build, so I couldn't fit in another for Crossfire anyway haha. I'm happy atm with 60 FPS @ 1080p anyway

my 770 has 2 gigs of ram, and everything is fine. I've been playing on Ultra, with the exceptions of AA and ambient occlusion, those 2 are on a lower setting. I've been doing 60 fps at 1080. It will drop to like 55 fps every now and again, but thats it

So is it advised to disable Post AA? Frames are no issue, I just heard it makes the game look blurry as it is FXAA smeared across the whole image.
yeah, that and filtering quality are big on performance

This game looks better with FXAA on high and MSAA off to me. It doesn't blur the entire image as the engine was build with FXAA in mind and it's done via forcing it through Nvidia control panel therefore it looks infinietely better.
Try FXAA on high and then try MSAA, you'll like FXAA I believe.

Looks like my old i7-920 isn't really in need of an update just yet after all.
I've been running SP at 1080p, everything Ultra except Effects which are high and 2xMSAA and I've been getting a solid 60fps with the odd rare drop in cutscenes when shit hits the fan hard. I'll get numbers over the weekend I wont get a chance to play today.
This is on
i5-3570
8GB DDR3 1333MHz
7870xt 2GB @ 1100MHz Clock
Win 7
Did that piss you off so much? Jesus. You were the one parading that around in a console thread.
It was a guess based on my experience with the game and I'm still not convinced that you're going to see a solid 60 during gameplay. Maybe close to it in single player but in multiplayer? ATI cards had a lot of performance issues with BF3 and BF4 seemed to be more demanding out of the gate. I'm running a card a bit faster than a 7950 and cannot maintain 60 fps at all times (close, though).
Give me a break.
The skepticism comes from the fact that a lot of people seem to miss framerate dips. You'll hear people talking about high framerates on their PCs or consoles and, upon reviewing what they're seeing, you notice all sorts of dips and drops. Nothing too serious but they're there. I found it hard to believe that a slower card could out perform a faster card in this game. That's all.
edit - Wait, the 7950 is hardly a $200 card. I'm sure if you find a sale you could buy it for that much but that's not the price I'm seeing around Newegg or other sites. You can hardly call something a $200 card when the only time you'll find that price is during a sale of some sort.

Yeh the performance in multiplayer is a completely different beast than singleplayer, I haven't made any proper benchmarks like I did above but my GTX 570 really struggles to handle larger maps on high settings. Paracel storm was a stutterfest.
That benchmark is bad. Check the other one posted later on that page.

What does the mesh quality setting dictate?
If you keep reading everything on the internet, you wouldn't do anything. Every game runs bad. Every series have a bad ending. Blah Blah Blah.
I am on 8.1 and it runs good enough for me to explode your heads.
