***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

You can set the render once you've installed 14.2 in video options. If you don't want to try Mantle, then give the 14.2 beta's a pass and stick with 13.12 WHQL or your current driver.

What do the settings above mean, what resolution are they equivalent to ?

Thanks.

5120x3200.

From what I've read its 200% of your native resolution, so 1600p x 2, which iirc is around 4K.

In other words 4 x 290X's are holding up very very nicely at BF4 ultra 4K

Edit: Matts right, its ABOVE 4K, even more impressive.

Edit 2: Or does it not go by pixel count? 1600p is roughly 4m pixels, 4K is around 8m pixels...200% of 4m pixels is 8m... ******* maths on a Saturday evening, what has my life become

5120x3200.

So does it mean I was using all that memory in GPUZ 16gb + 2gb ?

No wonder I had to overclock the CPU to 4.5gb, it did not like it's normal 4.0ghz.

Just been reading on another forum, I think it is as LtMatt says it is 200% of the settings so 5120 x 3200.

Going by the FPS it is the same as using a single 290X @1600p

4xMSAA at 5120x3200. Overkill much?

Kaap 13.12 WHQL might give a small boost to bf4 performance btw.

Well at least we know what performance to expect with 2 x 4K screens.

I am already using 13.12, I made a mistake above when I said 13.11.

Anyone know what the best NVidia drivers for BF4 are, I am just downloading the game for a go on the 6gb cards @1600p with 200% Resolution scale.

 

[Geeman1979]

The latest one's are fine.

Thanks.

Although I get poor gpu usage in SLI with BF4. More than likely down to the game itself.

OMG that's mental. Must have looked pretty good, no?

Just about to try 1440p @ 200% ultra on a pair of 780's. Should be interesting

Is that those Phantoms?

Ok so 2560x1440 200% ultra (HBAO, 4xMSAA and all that jazz)...I tested using the testing range, so you can probably slash another 10-15% from these results to give indication of a busy 64 man server.

200% I ran out of VRam near instantly, turning it into a slide show, it reported it was running arounf 30-40FPS but felt more like 10-15 fps.

Even dropping MSAA to 2x and HBAO to SSAO and Post to medium it STILL ran out of vram.

Vram limit hit at around 175% scaling, though at 150% it still hit around 2.9GB so you have to feel on a regular map it would still burst through the vram wall.

Regular 1440p 100% ultra was perfectly fine, frame rates sitting in the 140+ region, Vram usage at around 2.2GB.

For sure 4K needs bare minimum 4GB cards.

Edit: actually of Matt's about can you run the same test (just ponder about the test range blowing things up) and let us know how your vram looks at 1440 200% ultra? Try see where the drop off point is for vram.

 

[Nickolp1974]

mine @ 1080p also on test range, massive drop (1) when i blew up the building then crashed chopper into it

 

[pgi947]

So:

1080 200% is 3840x2160 (4K)

1440 200% is 5120x2880
1440 150% is 3840x2160 (4K)

Running out of VRam on all 3!

Matts doing some testing now.

For some reason the scaling using so much more VRAM than the native resolution. Early testing showed that, no idea why

It's not indicative of what 4k would actually require, as 3GB cards have been testing and shown working in both SP and MP.
