***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

So far the game is much smoother than the beta was :)

I am not getting the same stuttering I was getting in the beta when using SLI. :)

I forgot to load fraps so I'll have another go later on but I am running 2560x1440. Everything maxed apart from MSAAx2 and the other blurry AA off. Played some multiplayer on a couple of maps (a flooded one & cant remember the name of the other one), FoV at 90, no motion blur.

Using Windows 7
16GB Ram
No page file.

Very impressed!!

Struggled to make head nor tail of that Greg as you posted within my own quote. :D

I've not disabled core parking. How do i do that in Win8.1? I've never had to do this before either.

I disable core parking in Windows 8.1 doing the following

Open regedit and find this key "0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583"

Then set key "ValueMax" to 0
That should then mean both "ValueMax" and "valueMin" are both set to 0

Then search for the key again and on any instance it finds do the same thing, on my fresh install it only finds one instance of the key that needs changing.

Then do a shutdown and a cold boot not just a restart.

Core parking should be disabled.

I will like to see what Matt shows off this :D Because for me in the past I have noticed zero difference.

Also having High performance in the Power option with CPU min/max at 100% disables core parking.

Will setting the minimum cpu state in power options to 100% have the same effect?

EDIT

Shanks beat me to it above. :D

I currently have my min processor state on 0%.

I believe it does matt. My CPU has never parked and I dont touch Regedit for it. Only Power options.

Edit
Check in resource monitor and see if you have cores parked. If not then you dont need to disable core parking.

Honestly guys I don't believe setting the policy for the processor to 100% does solve core parking the main reason for this is that i run my cpu at 4.6ghz, if i go to the power profile and set cpu to 100%/100% then go to task manager and view performance the cpu will show something like 4.39ghz under speed, only when going to the registry and doing the above does the cpu show its actual speed in task manager, their has to be something to that.

Its not a massive effort to do the registry tweak and its not deleting a reg key it can be changed back, imo I think its better done.
 
I've been doing this since windows 7 while having my fx 8320 i thought it was well known that windows parks your cores and that the best way to solve it was to edit the registry, i think the original way involved deleting a key from the registry but the above method is no harm.
 
I've always disabled core parking as one of my standard config changes on install since W7 tbh as it has improved CPU performance in the past.
No idea if it still does, it's just something i do regardless.

Honestly I have never once had to Regedit for core parking. :D
 
Seeing a difference in cpu speed readings via task manager is enough reason for me to make sure the registry key is edited, the speed reading isn't changing for nothing.
 
It sorted out stutter for me completely matt,believe it or not. There's a little program called park control that let's u flick it on and off and the dif for me is huge. Playable and unplayable huge
 
Yeah in task manager (win 8.1) go to performance, under the graph is says "utilisation" and next to it "speed" then next to that your cpu speed, until i edit the registry or as pointed out above their is a program that does the same thing without going to registry yourself the cpu speed will show lower than what it actually is set to.
