Do you have Gsync? It realllllllly helps with the lows!

I am pleasantly surprised that I get a very constant 60fps on Medium settings at 1080p with my AMD 4770k/ 8GB DDR3 2133MHz and AMD 280 (basically a 7950). Very playable and looks just fine too! It might be a different story if I was upping the settings...
It's using about 50% on an R7 1700 at 3.8Ghz, and keeping to 60~70 fps maxed out at 1080p on an overclocked GTX970 or 100~120fps (since I have a 144hz monitor) if I lower all of the graphical settings apart from textures, not bad at all honestly.
There is a massive difference reported on FPS even with people on similar hardware. Makes me wonder if the people claiming higher are playing on a low populated server or sniping from afar. If you are running round with explosions etc going off that will tank the frame rate.
Yeah I'm a run and gun sniper by choice . so always in amongst the action and splosions . picks up a little in a plane tipping beyond 60fps but on ground its a dip fest although I had no stutters like I did on the alphas

Yeah - that's why I stated the route I used when recorded the benchmark so others can compare (I even put a video up of it before). Having said that, explosions right in front of me only sees a dip of about 10fps, so maybe some gfx cards/cpus/resolutions are affected more than others.

seems like games and apps have now been starting to push bandwidth limit much more than before, with Intel I have seen reviews reporting up to 39% more fps when overclocking the ram from 2133 to 4000.
For example:
2133 to 3200 causes 20-25% increase, 2133 to 3600 causes 26-31% increase and 2133 to 4000 causes 32-39% increase in average and min fps.

Although timing is still pretty loose since the ram is hynix C-die, good b-die should do 3600mhz 15-15-15-35-1T and 4000mhz 17-17-17-34-1T pretty easily.
This makes me wonder what a good setup with good b-die + single dimm board + good CPu really can achieve. Something like 5.4Ghz core 5Ghz cache and 4400Mhz 18-18-18-36-1T tight would be amazing
everyone always looks at the highest frame and average but never the min FPS
tend to push 8 packs 4000 kit because of it - give you a large scope . Shows why Intel always caps their B/H boards to lower ram speeds but unfortunately, most people don't have the budget to stretch for fast ram
The video linked below is the actual benchmark here, its 13 minutes of Gameplay on a full 64 man server, its not camping away from the action, its me playing the game as anyone would, Highest Fidelity 1080P.
Average framerate : 78.4 FPS
Minimum framerate : 46.3 FPS (caused by Sutter, actual is 55 FPS) see reasons below.
Maximum framerate : 123.1 FPS
1% low framerate : 21.3 FPS (mmmm no, because i was recording it?)
0.1% low framerate : 2.0 FPS (lol)
Couple of things to note about that, the 46 FPS min didn't seem right to me, i never saw that in the game and i know all it takes is one stutter glitch to knock out a result like that, so i had a look for it, sure enough its the result of a lag stutter at 3:26, its the only time it happened, however i want to know what the actual Minimum Frame rates are, so i watched the FPS counter back in the video for 13 minutes there are two or three occasions where the frame rates go as low as 55 FPS without any stutter. so that's what i'm going with.
The 1% and 0.1% lows, yeah again that never registered on the counter which updates once a second, so i'm putting those down to stutter, perhaps writing to disk from recording it?
Again this is the run from that benchmark, unlike a lot of large reviewers i have provided the data for you to scrutinise.
PS: for most of it my GPU is the bottleneck, i'm thinking about a 720P run.

But they have more than enough money pushing for not worthy boards like Gigacrap, MSI goatlike, mAxIMuS FoRMula/exTRemE, etceveryone always looks at the highest frame and average but never the min FPS

with black pcb B-die sticks, the board is the limit not the ramAh ok.
7700k maxing on all 8 threads getting upto a toasty 80 degrees!!
Might need to replace air cooler with liquid AIO
That's nothing unusual with BF games now, even with hyper-threading 4 core CPU's are not what they once were, time for an upgrade to something with more cores.

have a feeling i7 8700 non k and i7 9700k will do well come Winter haha

Are we finally reaching the promised land of:
"just wait, when devs start optimising for more cores that **insert high core count, older cpu here*** will be amazing"
The one that random forums peeps have been talking about for years now.

Good to know that snipers and supports can afford to cheap out on PC components compared to tanks and warriors.
Not what I meant but yeah!!
@humbug let me know if you do a 720p run. I'll do the same. Make this thread interesting!
Quite aside from running a 5Ghz 8700K you also have a 1080TI, i can't compete with that.
