***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

[setter]

Server choice is still a big factor in how smooth this game runs. Ive been on some where one night it runs great, go on the same servers another night and its very laggy. Which has quite an impact on fps.

Regarding the CTE, does mantle work in it yet? It'd be interesting to see a few results from it if it's possible.

Yep Mantle has always worked in CTE. Will be testing on normal atm.

Yep, using Elpida mems so slightly slower than your typical 290X Hynix cards.

FYI i disabled c1e/c-states on my CPU and this seems to have smoothed things out a lot - still get the odd wobble after an explosion but much better - no annoying spiking. Now if i could just get someone to explain c-states to me properly...

Have you tried disabling core parking? Never made a difference for me but I've heard it helps some people in this game.

I did on my 2700k but not the 3930k. I'll download the little app. It would be good not to have to run at full pelt the whole time.

where are these dx 11 bf4 benchmarks then matt?

And here was me hoping people would forget about that, cheers Dave.

I will run DX11 tomorrow and post results, It's just hard to go back to it after getting used to the Mantle gameplay experience.

More results below, Metro CQ Large this time.

Oh.. My.. Gosh!

They fixed the Mantle VRAM issue in BF4 and it now clears the VRAM on map change.. Finally!!!

Ultra on 7970/280x at last??

Doing Ultra on my 7950 now yea

Thought I would do a round on this game with a single Titan X and a 3930K @ 4.625 @ 1440P to see how well it copes and I don't think it once dropped under 100fps

Maximum settings as well. I still suck mind but hey ho, you can't be good looking and good at everything

Still encoding, so might pay to wait for it to go 1080P 60fps

Wow Greg that performance is crazy good

Yer, it stunned me in truth and I expected big dips still, even with big frames. I have edited it now as well, as the other wouldn't go to 60fps HD for some reason

Constantly above 100 fps is very very impressive considering the res and settings.

I checked settings and double checked as I thought that was impossible. Truly impressed with that.

 

[setter]

I'll still see dips below 100 at native res or 2560x1600 on sli 780.

 

[BS Dave]

I still see the odd dip into the 50s on 290 crossfire. Only big explosions though. Titan x does look superior to 290 crossfire though, and the perf graph was super smooth though looks like you're only playing tdm - so not as full on as 64 man conquest

Really interested to see what the 390 and 980ti have to offer
