Another new rig mate, hw e I presume.
Wouldn't bother with X79/X99 unless you use 3 gpu's or you're a bencher to be honest setts. Aside from Firestrike I'm noticing no gains over my X79 setup with tightly tuned memory. Infact, i may even be scoring less as my 3970X did 4.9-4.95ghz when pushed to the limit. Time will tell, I'm still getting to grips with this 5960X. It's a stinker though, that's for sure.

Grats on your new build hope you get it all tweaked how you want
Used this to create a shortcut: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/40339-cpu-affinity-shortcut-program-create-windows.html
Open game, alt+tab out, run shortcut, open game again.
Set affinity to all 8 threads with hex code FF.
Can easy set up a file for you if you want, just give me the location of your BF4 install
Yes this thread was originally setup to test fps on different cpu/gpu combos. Unfortunately bf4 doesnt have an inbuilt benchmark. But there is a thread in the pc game section of the forum, but it deals more with server choice, discussion of games played etc. As bf4 is still a pretty demanding game both cpu/gpu usage, its a good judge of performance for a system. Sure the raw benchmark figures are scattered throughout this thread, but it's a good place to find tips/advice for what is still a very popular game. Information that would be lost in the pc game bf4 thread. And the moderators on here are willing to allow this thread as long as it maintains good civilised discussion.I thought it was a battlefield.thread
I would stick with the 290 as Mantle works beautifully with that CPU in supported games, i have one.

Game does look very nice at 4k though. Also gotta give dice credit where its due, connection issues here aside its running so much better since the last two patches. Havent benched any of the latest maps as im too busy enjoying them when playing.
Nice flat performance graph Matt, though as im getting on a bit and the ol eyesight is poor, im struggling to read the fps counter.
