***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

So glad i pre ordered the 2700K back when it came out, i cant afford upgrades atm as i'm decorating my whole flat and buying blinds and doing the floorings etc :)

The talk of the I5 being undermuscled is totally overstated (ivy and haswell). I'm running the game on custom ultra 4xmsa with a [email protected] 1920x1200 maxed out CPU usage is 85%. (Spikes to 100% when you hit windows button) I use a single 7950 1200mhZ 1600Mhz mem. Min frames hit 40 Average 55 max 80....

GPU is 95-99% used
cpu is 85%

This game uses approx 10% more cpu resource than BF3. I get occasionall lag when Charlie comes down and generates a load of atmospheric dust, particles and litter. My advice is wait for

a) The game to be releashed before drawing conclusions
b) Be very sceptical about i5 being inferior to i7 untill we get proper scientific bench marks. Recall that historically that an i7 gives about 1 fps at clock speeds about 4.3-4.5Ghz.

My Bro has a cross fired 3930k six core cpu and the game uses all 6 cores at 60-70% with 2x7950's. Now if he uses HT with 12 threads or 6 physical cores only guess what...........FA difference maybe more heat!!! Go Figure.... (HT seems to perform better when the cpu isnt maxed out and has headroom to multitask)

Wait before you do anything is certainly my advice, especiallly when the game code, drivers are littered with bugs and faults ala its a beta beta...........

Anyway I'm getting another 7950 today and want to see this cpu bottleneck when running 2x7950's on an i5 at 4.6Ghz.

What performance can Mantle bring to us?

I will be looking forward to seeing how the i5 @ 4.6ghz will cope by adding a second 7950 as I am in the exact same boat as you. Thinking to add a second 7950 but im worried if my 3570k @ 4.5ghz will bottleneck. Don't forget to come back and let me know how it goes! :)

If you add a second card I think you'll see your (4 thread) CPU seriously bottlenecking you. It's only likely to get worse with Mantle (which will be heavily optimised for 8+ threads); when I say worse I mean the bottlenecking by CPU - overall performance would likely improve significantly.
