Caporegime
Played tonight for a couple of hours with no problems, crashes or anything.
Any stealth fixes or server side patches gone on Matt?
There was a server patch i think yesterday, or the day before, forget now. Not had any crashes with the game for a while though.
Ever since BF4 was announced it seems that people have wanted it to fail on NVidia hardware. I am still laughing at the "you need 3gb to run the game" as my GTX 690s are still able to run it @1600p maxed out without any problems.
Having said that though as far as the game crashing goes, I can see the problems getting much worse with the game and the AMD cards being very badly hit.
Being something totally new, when Mantle arrives it could bring with it more bugs than a Kremlin bathroom.
You must have a special 690 or two Kaap because for the first time i tried BF4 on full Ultra @1440p on a single 690 at a friends and it suffered quite serve low fps drops at times. The weird thing was it seemed to play ok for a while, then it hit.

Dat 2gb of memory.

Also good to see another BF4 review popping up. The throttling 7990 (losing about 5-10%+ performance) still 35% ahead of a 780TI at 1440p and around £100-£200 cheaper.

96% scaling on the 7990. (without throttling likely 100% or close to it) 80% scaling on the 690.
the impact of stepping up to this resolution is immediately noticeable, as cards that were previously averaging close 60fps are now closer to 30fps. In fact, the only card here that can hit 60fps now is the HD 7990, which again scales excellently at 96 percent faster than the R9 280X. Given that it's currently just £400, it looks like a fairly good value high end card here considering how many more expensive cards it beats.
The GTX 690, on the other hand, has about 80 percent scaling over the GTX 680, and is easily surpassed by AMD's dual-GPU effort. If you want to play BF4 at this resolution with all the eye candy, a multi-GPU arrangement is clearly a must in order to achieve 60fps. As before, the ultra preset also sees Nvidia cards suffering a bit on the minimum framerates, especially at the top end, where both R9 290-series cards lead the way by this metric.
