Getting clued up, BF graphics

Does anybody have any good advice or links to help a Noob set up for BF4 when i get the chance, just general advice really, i dont understand that much about AA and all the settings, how does reducing screen size 1920x1080 improve things...All sorts

Many thanks.
I'm using a msi hd7850 2gb standard.

MSI HD 7850 OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cards
AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6300 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor
Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 AMD 990X (Socket AM3+) DDR3
All standard, i bought the DD BF4 so played the Beta too, with a bit of messing about i had 60fps stable on Win7x64 and between 60-90fps on Win8, that was messing about with the Beta amd drivers v1+v2, the 3 DIce updates also (3rd never made any difference i could see), and changing priorities in task manager for bf4 to low, helped stop the 90% cpu usage as did turning off 3 cores. I was on the Beta forums as fungusdread.
Thanks for the advice, i never knew about meshing and the links just what i need

How about this BF3 app that alters the in-game graphics settings and purdies it up a bit, i heard that increases your FPS,but is it usable on BF4 do you think?
I know its all guesswork mostly, but you know

Thats what i'm after 60fps, the tellies only 60hz anyway although ccc has decided it'll go to 75hz and who am i to argue

I'm hoping there'll be a few cheap 7850's around after xmas with these new fangled amd cards coming out today r7 or whatever, also Mantles out in December and that sounds good, works on our cards also i think the 7xxx series? But i think i might be going for this crossfire stuff next year, and some of this water cooling also, it's cheap reconditioned and i think OC does it.
Hehe, i only bought this setup 4 months ago from here

I did do the single player game on BF3, can't remember much about it though, there's a part where you have to snipe some street-lights...or that's another game, anyway, i ran through it to get the weapon unlock, i can't remember what that was though, or was that the Co-op.....
Got it, M417 unlocked with the BF3 Co-op, excellent gun that shame they ruined it with suppression.
