***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

The more I play this game, the more I want to uninstall it. Not smooth, crashes when I am playing well, crashes when I am playing bad, sound goes but the worst thing of all is the campers. Even when I unload a full clip into them, they turn and kill me...hit regs are poor.

I know mate, that last round especially was pathetic. All the maps appear catered for campers and rocket spamming, plenty of rooftops and foxholes.

Desperately need spawn protection too, I've lost count of the amount of times I've died before I've even had chance to draw my weapon.
 
Guys can I get a little input on what you currently feel to be the best card for BF4? I'm trying to put together a rig, mainly for games such as this.

I have a budget of ~£500 (could go slightly higher but would probably need to change the 4770K for a 4670K, and from what I've seen the 4770K actually works really nicely with BF4) and the current contenders are: 7990, 780 Classified, 780 HOF, 780 iChill Herculez, 280X CF (Asus DCII Top), 290X.

Also, I'm hoping to get a 120/144Hz monitor, and I'll be playing at 1080p with (hopefully) max settings and either 2x or 4x MSAA (depending on the IQ).

Any recommendations?

The 780 windforce or phantom, both very fast and cheap atm when you consider the 3 free games.
 
Should be easy done matt, scaling was as good as 100% on bf3 with dual 7900's.

Second 780 is here, I'll see what sli scaling is like amongst other things.
 
Found an old logitech mouse in a draw :D

VRAM Usage = 2272mb @ 1920x1080

780 SLI 1110/6200
4770K @ 4.6

SLI Scaling Conclusion:

I was averaging around 80 - 90 FPS on a single card, with two I'm sitting from around 140-160 FPS avg, scaling at the moment is around 80-90% scaling, so still some room for improvement on drivers.

I had weird stuff with my mouse in one game, would only go up and down, had to pull cable out then plug back in and it was fine again.

Tried that, it also does it in crysis 3. Found an old cheap logitech mouse last night and that was fine in all games, so going to grab a g500s this morning.

Haven't had a single crash to desktop yet, my only issues have been mouse related.
 
Just had my first in game crash, crashed so hard it completely locked up windows and required a hard reset.

I'm guessing its pointless trying to track down the cause of the crash as it will be this poorly coded junk DICE have churned out to us.
 
Ah well,

Junk like this isn't helping, if you want your server private put a password on it, Russian *******

I can perhaps understand an NZ server as the ping may be horrendous, but getting 40ms from a Russian server?

Anyone want to go splits on hiring a server?? :D

Multiplay are 0.88p per slot.
 
What did they change!?

The price.

"Beta" = free, probably a build never intended for full time public consumption, it worked quite well

"Retail" = The real beta with a £40 price tag on it. Know many will play it and provide the feedback they need to fix a knowingly broken game.

If they did the 'BETA' testing correctly mahoosive flaws like everyone getting random CTD's when ever a building collapses wouldn't have happened.
 
Brilliant. Big pat on the back for the ***** at dice. The very least they could do after this bs is throw in a free dlc pack or two.

At this rate mantle is going to be a complete disaster from the off.
 
Haha :D

You might be closer to the truth then you think greg, what if dice took their eye off the ball to implement mantle? Not that hard to believe given ea & their deadlines.

Ah well, I can save my fps angst until titanfall :D
