Battlefield 4 - Performance FIXES Thread (Good or Bad)

[SkeeterUK]

Duno tho task manager isnt too bad if u have a 2nd mon to see if it spikes to 100 too much. My 3570k never spiked it kept to about 90 max i think or 85.

The new patch has smoothed it right up for me, no more frame drops.

Still very high during a game:



Just tried running everything on Ultra:

Frames: 3589 - Time: 108609ms - Avg: 33.045 - Min: 25 - Max: 40

It actually performed better than I thought it would.

Looks like what my task manage was showing. I dont care if it is that high as long as its smooth which it is. Least its getting used instead of not being used properly.

 

[Ilikeitblackplease]

not really sure about the game

 

[anything I don't mind]

Ill test tonight, but ive had no stuttering so far. Occasional lag but nothing like stuttering that i experienced in blackops or other games prior to pc upgrade.

 

[spiki]

Not too bad here on my modest rig. Definitely smoother and playable on medium settings. Maybe not cancel that pre-order after all.

Apologies to Nexus.

I get so into the game that I don't read the chat.

I'm far too Ramboesque. I start out squading up but then I find myself lost in the game and going alone. I really should be more bothered about getting killed as well. I just rush into situations and seem quite happy to get killed by a tank as long as I get one or two hits with a grenade. :/

I'm also getting a respawning bug where I have to press Esc to respawn after I've been killed.

Ooops, last post in wrong thread.

I've started getting a slight stutter after today's patch.


It seems to happen mainly when I'm running every 3 or 4 seconds.

 

[Neil79]

Hmmm that almost looks like rubber banding, server or network related

Running very nicely after the latest update. Ultra with x4 msaa, post off, HBAO on, 1920x1200. i7 4770k @4.5ghz, stock sli gtx 670 wf x3's.

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
14350, 180000, 49, 132, 79.722

Still getting a little stuttering in vehicles and cpu spikes on the perf overlay. But overall it's much smoother.

Had a few rounds now and the new patch seems to have eliminated the stutter/low minimum's issue with my i5/win7.

Happy days

 

[dakaiez]

That isn't stutter, that's rubber banding mate.

 

[setter]

Nice un Petey, always knew things would be grand on i5 cpu's. Would be interesting to see though how many people have upgraded. Nothing like the hype of a new big title to get people blowing silly amounts of money.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Indeed.
I'm sure an i7 would be advantageous in some way with a single gpu in this game, but it definitely isn't a necessity as some have claimed.

 

[fozzybear]

Hmm, I'm hoping that rubber banding is server related. I think it will be.

If it turns out anything like bf3 i cant honestly see it mate. Ive played it on the following cpu's, i7 920, 3570k, 3770k and now the 4770k. With one gpu i couldnt see/tell any difference whatsoever.

 

[Uncle Petey]

You're probably right, though this does seem to be a bit more stressful than BF3.
Other maps with weather and stuff could take advantage of extra threads maybe?

Look, I'm grasping here...

 

[Westie]

There is zero problems with i5 and bf4 and I'm single gpu as well

I5 2500k at 5ghz
7970 ghz edition
Win 8

 

[anything I don't mind]

After patch, That is auto which is high and no aa and ultra with 4xaa.
