***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

Another bug found:

I unlocked the F2000 the other night, yet it still sits in my assignments bit and refuses to clear as per screen cap...

Is the difference purely due to the way CF is forced in borderless window? Or is it the same with a single card?

Would have killed for CF in borderless window mode on the original Crysis game, iirc there was some game breaking bug that stopped me using it in full screen on my 6950's.
 
Ah I see, PCI bandwidth limitation over the XDMA link thing.

In theory then 290's should fly like **** off a shovel on X79 then? Relatively easy to break out 130mhz+ on the base clock.
 
Any clues as to whats caused this?

ERROR
Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'pgi947' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program/Driver [130827]

Purest of pure clean installs of windows 8 on sunday, drivers installed along with steam/origin and relative games THATS IT.
 
The other thing I meant to ask, texture and model loading at the start of a game.

Occasionally (maybe 3-4 times out of 10) when I start a round I spawn with no weapon, I switch to pistol, my guy has no hands just literally a floating pistol in front of him that doesn't fire, press 1 and my main gun and arms and all are back as normal. When this happens water fails to show as well, for example in Metro, for the duration of the above I see no water, switch weapons about I magically get weapons too!
 
I noticed the CPU spike too, though I see it at most maybe once every 10-20mins. I found it so much worse when all of the c states/eist was enabled, disabled all of that power saving guff did help for the most part but the spike still rears its ugly head every so often. But like Greg I'm thinking its down to 337 more then anything else.

Wish this sodding rog swift would hurry up, I'm constantly sitting at 200fps on some maps :p
 
I don't HAVE to scroll through them, but if I do the pistol shows with nothing holding it, I'll try get a screeny of it over the weekend.

So this a BF4 thing rather then a driver thing? Just seems to take a few seconds on start up to get all of the textures up and running.
 
On first map load of new maps I also get no texture on ground like grass etc. Never had issue with gun though.

I get this too but its water thats usually missing not grass.

One other random bug I noticed is if I get revived in HC, my guy just flakes out and gets the shakes like he's hunting around the floor for crack :p Can sometimes be fixed by cycling weapons but more often then not needs a re-deploy.
 
Ah well I've had the hc bug as recently as this week so they didn't do a very good job of fixing it :D

The water thing is most noticeable on metro for me given that the subway is now supposed to be flooded. So get to see some of the old metro floor (same as bf3!) For a few seconds every now and then.
 
I still had a few spikes using DX. It still offers a drastically inferior performance to Mantle on 290 crossfire. DX the fps can sometimes fluctuate quite dramatically as seen in the images below. I didn't see Mantle drop below 190 fps when i tried that. Mostly it was locked at 200.

DX11.1

Although I see your angle, of the two lots of screenies above, Nvidia is closer to mantle perf on both the graph and frame rates then it is DX.

I'm not saying mantles bad or anything, its obviously the opposite, just pointing out that perhaps DX11 isn't as bad on Nv as it appears to be on AMD.

Edit: Tried to get similar positions to you, full ultra, CPU @ 4.2ghz, 2 x 780 @ stock

Dammit, i didn't get frame times but i followed you into that server you chose. I picked a 48 man CQ large full metro server and you picked a empty 16 man tdm server. Bit of a difference to be fair Mr Tips. :p

Nonetheless here's my DX11.1 in that 16 man TDM server you chose.

Just jumped in empty to get an idea of where you were stood, will easy jump in a more populated server shortly and run again.
