kinda hoping they will fix the win7 issues in future patches
BF3 runs like a dream on win7 no reason for BF4 not too

Windows 8![]()
Just gone from a single GTX 670 FTW to 7950 Crossfire. I'll be honest, I was expecting to see my framerates improve...
My GPU usage fluctuates while playing. That's not to say it spikes, it just seems to vary between 60% and 80% (hitting lots of values in-between too) usage on each GPU.
So is my 4770K @ 4.3GHz causing a bottleneck?
Are your 7950s on stock bios? Known issue to get fluctuating GPU utilisation unless you flash the modded bios.
Don't know if this is just me but the game seems to be going down hill? fps is lower and just feels overly laggy?
Went to the latest Nvidia drivers but felt worse so have gone back to the .82 drivers.
Does AMD users feel it is not play as well as it used to?

No its running very nicely mate for us AMD folk. It started out patchy but has been getting better and better ever since and now multi gpu scaling is up to 95-99%.
Don't worry mate I get EXACTLY the same. Ranges from 50-90% GPU usage for me at 1080p full ultra. But most maps maintain avg of 80-100 but certain ones like Siege of Shanghai drop into the 40's in certain places and GPU usage is under 60% when that happens but according to Afterburner my CPU cores arent being maxed so no idea. I reckon memory leak as performance seems to degrade for me. Only other option was Win 8 but I will wait for Mantle first as that should put the strain on the GPU's correctly.
Crossfire 7950's still drop below 60 frequently enough to make it annoying, and as the guy above has a single 7970 and only goes to 56 min? The game just isn't working 100% at the moment.
Just out of interest Matt, could you do the same but at 1080p and on SOS?
just seen in this thread about the foliage you get when using ultra and changing it to medium and redeploying, the difference is night and day.
So in that respect people will get a distinct advantage running lower setting so you can see past the shrubbery ie its not there compared to someone with it on?
Also has there been any word on a fix for this issue as of yet?
