***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

[Deathon2wheelz]

Having downloaded the latest nvidia beta drivers (331.40), I am having no issues in game at all on Ultra 4xmsaa with my 670 4gb card.. avg FPS is around 55...

If you are having issues try downloading those drivers... game was unplayable on low yesterday for me.

^^ Crossfire .. Runs fine on a single Nvidia GTX 780, don't even need any of that Mantle junk either

You won't be getting any

Anyone ran the DX file in BF4 folder? "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 Beta\__Installer\directx\redist"

Just ran it then and it installed file/updated Couple people on BattleLog saying it fixed there stutter?

Not tested myself off to work, but seeing as its updated files for DX can't be a bad thing ay?

Good find thanks for sharing will try this tonight and probably lower all settings to low lol

Oh dear this is worrying I've only just got these cards 2gig versions and on those drivers there BAD

Tried that tip didn't notice much difference. It definitely downloaded or updated some directx files though.

Please, they show nothing. We can hardly use that as a estimation of performance. I'll go with 8 minutes intensive gameplay over spawning and looking up at a sky scraper.

They only show 'nothing' because they disprove what you already think is true .

VRAM usage isn't linked to action anyway - framerate obviously is but I'd assume unless otherwise stated that Kaap got stuck into the action to test. Just because his screenshots didn't show the action doesn't mean there wasn't any.

Anyway, this debate is just getting circular now. You're dug in too far and everyone knows your opinion, you don't have to keep re-stating it on every page .

You're not wrong on what you've said previously, you don't have to keep proving it .

I believe it was 60fps +/- 5, although the resolution was specifically defined. I think it was just 1440/1600. Which could mean either, could mean both. I'm also not sure if the bet was regarding the BETA performance or the final game performance

The sweclockers results only show 1440p. Both the 690 and 770 SLI only get 66/67 fps, so at 1600p they might fall below the 60 +/-5fps condition.

Also those graphs also only show the min for 770 SLI as being about the same as a single Titan, 780 and 7970 GHz. They're not being VRAM limited (you'd hope) but the 770 is? I can believe the 690 is but it's gets much lower min fps (29fps vs. 19fps). Is the 770 SLI getting an extra 10fps minimum purely on GPU grunt?

I've not looked at "the rest of the internet" which apparently backs up these findings.

Sounds about right, waiting for the full game will give a truer picture as to whether 2Gb is/isn't enough @1440/1600.

The 770 though not getting the minimums would indicate it's a memory bandwidth problem as well, the only thing that's different between the 770 and 680 is higher clocked memory.

I'm sure if you turned Aero off, you'll free up those minimums and would mean i win the bet Another thing to note is the average framerate vs the 3GB cards is the same, so those minimums could have coincidentally happened with server lag. We need Kaap to be the middle man and do our required testing @1600p, run about die a lot and stay in the server (recording isn't required)

I've only responded when people quote me or direct a question at me.

All they prove is you get high fps by standing in a street and looking at a sky scraper. Also he was not just using one 690 but two, so they cannot be compared to the swe clockers results. At least with swe clockers benchmarks we see how the cards cope under actual gameplay in a busy server.

How do you think an i5 2500k and 580 gtx 3gb will fare with this? I will download on Friday....

Guys.. I'm guessing the VRAM for BF4 works like system RAM does for an OS.. the more V/RAM there.. the more it'll use. I've been messing around with 2 laptops recently and Win 7 Ultimate uses 750MB when i have 3GB of RAM in there and it'll use just over 500MB when there is only 1GB of RAM in there. Surely this makes sense and we can now stop the debate and talk about the actual game now?

Anyway i jump on board with the Open Beta on Friday with millions of others, get ready for a bombardment of players in 2 days time

Looks like ur gona have to go suck it and see

Come on Matthew. They were just screenshots. They don't nullify his results just because the screenshots aren't in the thick of the action. He gave benchmark results as well.

If the 690s were VRAM limited then adding another 690 wouldn't have really increased performance that much.

It's not surprising that the gtx295 would tank straight away as it has no where near enough memory for a highly modded skyrim. With gtx770 and all the other 2gb cards in bf4 it looks as though 2gb is being breached slightly so it won't show up as a slide show more like dips in fps .

this was a vanillia skyrim but only with the bethesda HD packs. I believe its a 1gb recommended spec for that. so only just being breached slightly.

It probably wasnt a good comparison though, you're right.

Ran 3 mins on Fraps with the below setup/settings

Intel i7 3770k @ 4.3Ghz
HD7990 Latest Beta
16GB Ram
Windows 8 64 bit.
Settings, ULTRA, MSAA 4X 1080p

3mins benched using fraps at above...

Frames: 16647 - Time: 180000ms

Avg: 92.483
Min: 62
Max: 155

Pretty damn happy with my Min of 62fps indeed

Is the above bf4 glitch happening to anyone else (skip to around 19 seconds)?

Is your vRam overclocked? thats Memory corruption.

Why do a lot of these BF4 videos on youtube look crap? Quality is terrible.

I must be doing something wrong.

1920x1080 Setting on Default High with gtx 780 sli and im barely getting over 60 fps, running the beta drivers

What CPU sgt_pepper ? A lot of 780 owners seem to have a good gaming experience.

Youtube compression, render settings?

I know when I installed my new Catalyst beta's I had to re-initialise crossfire X

Possibly the same with your SLi in the new drivers? Of course I'm sure you've checked that out already.
