I have Window 8.1 and it still improved my framerate, worth a shot either way.
Only for Win7?
Is having temps in the mid 70s for CPU cores ok?
What in the flying fuck? Why would the CPU cores stay parked in Windows 7? That sounds like a horrible bug :S
I got about 15-20 extra frames by doing this, really nice jump.

Hmm, so with those settings you've mentioned there's almost no perceptible difference in quality? I'll have to try this later.
Guys... holy crap. This needs to be posted in the main portion of this thread.
Renderdevice.renderaheadlimit 2 is an absolute miracle switch.
I just ran two benchmarks with fraps.
First was golmud railway 32 player oblideration.
All ultra, FXAA high no MSAA.
2500k @ 4.8
290x @ 2560x1440
No DOF, no Motion Blur
I took a buggy and drove around the action for a bit and here was my fraps results
Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg
36932 332797 92 175 110.975
As another test I joined a 50 player conquest large Zavod 311 and took a quad bike and drove around all over and bypassed a ton of action and had a few firefights.
Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg
27581 330390 63 134 83.48
Switch is the real deal. You'll need to manually type it each time or create a user.cfg for it to work on load.
Renderdevice.renderaheadlimit 2 in the console or can i set it through the gpu control panel?
It's an engine feature.
Open console and type perfoverlay.drawfps 1
then do renderdevice.renderaheadlimit 1
then renderdevice.renderaheadlimit 2
then 3 etc
and see which one gives you the best FPS
sorry for the stupid question - but is there a dummy's guide (apologies if I missed a post on how to do it)
Recently got a GTX 760 2GB for my i7 & 8GB RAM system. BF4 runs fine on the ultra preset but I am playing at 1360x768. It can dip into the 40's when things get hectic on 64 player maps
Im thinking of returning it for a GTX 770 4GB card as I will probably get a new TV within the next year that will be at least 1080p.
Is it worth to spend the extra $100 for 770 4GB?

I tested it on Lancing Dam (Squad DM) and got 63-104fps with avarage of 83 fps.
1920x1080, Ultra/4xMSAA/16xAF, FoV 90 with i7 4770K @4GHz and GTX770 4GB @1.2Ghz.
When in game, press ~ to open the console. Then type those things
That's great. I actually think my 2500k even at 4.8 is holding me back. This game seems to like hyperthreading.

Seems the game doesn't retain and/or execute command parameters through the game's exe even though the option is there in Origin?

I tried it again without it and got 66-108fps with an avarage of 84fps. So no effect for me.I got about 15-20 extra frames by doing this, really nice jump.

5) If you are able to control your fans in your case, make sure to set an aggressive curve. This game is CPU intensive, so try to maintain your temperatures below 30 C, preferably 27 to 28 C, depending on how much fan noise bothers you. I use Alienware's thermal controller. You do not want your CPU to throttle back.

That's great, which method did you use, the one in the OP on the top comment one?
Why does everybody have so much RAM? In the last 6 years I had 4GB and now I have 8GB, and it was always enough for everything.

This is ridiculous.
Don't worry about temps being that low...anything under 80 C is more than safe. The TJ Max of Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, and even Haswell is near 100 C. Obviously, cooler is better - but throttle does not occur until in the 90 C range or higher (I have seen it in person, ha)>
Holy shit guys, try this if you have micro stuttering, i think it worked for me....full server, locker and ran butter smooth until the server disconnected.

Edit: make sure to ran it as administrator. right click > start as administrator.
Any AMD Crossfire users get a benefit from disabling ULPS (2nd card won't throttle down ever into low power)?
I'm going to try that coupled with some of the suggestions above and test performance/stability.
Anyone have any recommendation for Nvidia driver? Went with the latest certified, and the latest beta drivers, and both of them give me crazy artifacts. Am I just gonna have to wait for the game to be patched at this point?
Been having great results with Crossfire and the game. R9 290X Crossfire with latest beta driver (v8 from 10/30). If you're having issues, try a clean driver uninstall and fresh install. Apparently AMD drivers aren't very good with over-installation.
EDIT: not using ULPS or anything non-standard other than a 75 MHz OC to both cards.
EDIT: Looks like even with my adjusted fan profile I needed to make it more aggressive. BF4 final REALLY stresses the gpus. I've never seen anything (other than furmark) drive the temps so high with my usual fan profile.
Just tried it on 64-player Conquest Large on Shanghai. When I set renderdevice.renderaheadlimit to 1, framerate drops from steady 50 to 32. When I change it to 2 nothing happens, framerate stays the same as it was before these manipulations. 3 and 4 values didn't improve FPS too.
So I don't think it's helpful for me and my single 4gb 670 stock + i5 3570K@4.4GHz.
Definitely gonna try that registry fix.
The myth of cpu parking...incredible this is still around. This only affect Intel CPU's such i3 or i7 that have logical processors, and the performance impact is none, windows scheduler will reactivate the logical cores when needed. There was a bug in w7 with amd procesors when windows was parking the amd physical cores, but that is fixed in w8, and fixed in windows 7 with the patch KB2646060.
For performance, better value for max frames render ahead is your number of GPUS + 1.
That's not normal. Have you tried other games? It may be a sign that you have GPU issues. Latest beta drivers have always worked great for me with NVIDIA.
BF3 ran without any issues. The last PC game I really played was FF14, and again, that ran without any issues, as far as I can remember (though I think that game suffered from drivers crashing somewhat often).
My 680 is OC'd, but I did the H60 mod and it never runs over ~53 C. I've also looped Unigine benchmarks without errors.
I know artifacts usually point towards hardware failures, but I'm really hoping it has something do with the software, since I was hoping on not upgrading until Maxwell (plus it wouldn't be the best idea to get a new card now since PS4 is in two weeks).
Well, try some other games today - see if they artifact too. You wouldn't necessarily need a new card. This is a common RMA for any graphics card manufacturer. Only issue is you'd be without your card for a week or so.
