Is this on windows 8 ? as i don't know how your getting that type of FPSis 4 mins enough??
Windows 8 yes. I don't see what is so surprising considering it is SLI 670's.

Dropping to mid 50s with an SLI setup and an i5 only shows how bad those components perform in BF4. My SINGLE GPU setup drops to mid 40s-50s. Stays above 65 FPS on ultra.
Ay?

How about we see what the final game says?
We all know that an i5 will bottleneck sli/xfire in BF3 and BF4, but saying that an i5 is useless based on what can occasionally happen in the beta (which is an old build) with win7 is a bit premature and more than a little over the top.

Pretty good for something that cost me £150 2 and a half years ago if you ask me
I will be keeping an eye out for a cheap 2700k or 3770k though in the next few weeks....
I agree.
Well said.

I have to disagree with an I5 being useless on BF4 and future games, far from useless. Yes they might not make the most of a high end GPU because of 4 threads, but I'm still hitting 60fps solid with the odd dip down into mid 50's with ultra settings across the board and 2x MSAA with vsync enabled. It's pretty decent if you ask me I'm very impressed. And I'm sure the full game will be better optimized, I'm certainly not rushing to the shops to buy an I7 yet. And I still have another 7950 sitting in its box next to me waiting to into my rig, theres more life in my I5 yet

Yea, and people have told me they run BF4 maxed out on a 760 at 80+fps avarage.

Min Max Avg
6 94 66.03
My FPS on 15 minutes of BF4 on the Low preset. It certainly feels much lower than 66 average; it stutters very badly.

Yep, this is proof that Nvidia is quite bad for BF4. In this case its probably the slow-ass memory bandwidth and small frame pool.
you're getting lower avarages than i did on Ultra preset.

I think an i7 and a decent overclocked 7950 is enough for this game and i have a video on youtube in the morning to prove it. With BF3 it was 'oh ur gona need 2x 580's to play this maxed out'. Now were getting similar comments for BF4 and this just isnt true. I'd question peoples system if it cant be played on similar hardware that others run BF4 fine on. Of course there is some bugs but thats to be expected. I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium and its running rather peachy for me
Btw i ran BF4 maxed out @ 3840x1080 earlier and it was using 2.6GB VRAM over about 10-15 minutes. Obviously not playable on 2 screen with crosshairs split between them but i just wanted to test it out. I was averaging around 30-40fps

Seems like it. My friend has a 7950 and he says he has no problems, yet I get better FPS than him on BF3. Really strange.
BF3 is Nvidia optimized you know, and it doesnt fill the frame buffer as much. So your RAM doesnt start dumping on to HDD (Which causes stuttering, and is also the reason why you should have atleast 3gb VRAM
)

I'm only using 1.6GB VRAM.
