two 6950s is about one 7950 so should be pretty okay at 1080 knock off msaa

Using high resolution scale removes the need for even using MSAA

Yep, DSR at 4k with no msaa is pretty ok here. But mostly used 2560x1600. Currently rocking low, mesh ultra and native res with 60 fps cap. Cards arent even running near proper clock speeds.

Texture quality to high is also good if you are in a vehicle. Sorts out some of the texture clipping at longer ranges

I know joe, but I'm an eye candy whore lol.

It must be doing something for me tbh guys, last 4 rounds ive played all on low, positive k/d ratio. Something that doesnt happen too often for me.

What have us pros being saying for the past year.....

setter · 26 Dec 2014 at 13:46

True, though not playing that often doesnt help either. Put a crazy number of hours into bfbc2. Just never got into the newer games as much. Though tbf, both are pretty ok now.

If you were, you wouldn't be using MSAA as it doesn't really work in BF4. Remove MSAA and just leave it at 200% if the perf is similar.

I play every game in lowest setting, can't have all that unwanted clutter getting in the way.

I'm delighted with the temp drops, normally my case is like an oven. Top card is only hitting 38c now. 40c drop.

From just lowering the quality? :eek:

setter · 26 Dec 2014 at 15:12

Yup and capping fps to 60.

Who needs watercooling

Would look good watercooled, but id want to do the whole system. And tbh, watercooling is largely pointless on a non delidded 4790k. Heat is still just trapped due to the shoddy paste below the ihs.

Gotta have Mesh on max tho, it's draw distance

kinger8938 · 26 Dec 2014 at 16:44

Hmmm im not really sure then maybe something is wrong! I have mxaa disabled as even on lowest it crashes straight away which is odd but can up all the other settings all i like with no crash just lesser frame rate. At high whatever i put up to ultra doesnt seem to effect the frames much if at all but can drop to mid 40s which is annoying

JGStonedRaider · 26 Dec 2014 at 16:48

CPU or GPU's overclocked Kinger? If so try with no OC as BF4 can be very sensitive to OC's.

kinger8938 · 26 Dec 2014 at 17:16

I have recently oc my cpu from stock to 4.5, ill try it at stock, thanks

I am also on window 7, i hear windows 8 is much better for bf4?

1kiwi · 26 Dec 2014 at 17:22

I run mesh and textures on ultra, rest on low given 2560x1440 res is ace. Would love to play with res scale but my aging 780 is not up to it
