***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

dmferrett said:
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?

Ive never seen my cpu go above 50% with sli 680's at any resolution from 1920x1080-7680x1440 also my 3630k is at 4Gh, also if i use my CPU as physics it doesnt make any difference from what i have noticed..
 
Okay ran this for a minute on the medium/high settings....

2013-10-04 21:21:48 - bf4
Frames: 3320 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 55.333 - Min: 39 - Max: 83

Medium/high again with 48 players i think for a minute..

2013-10-04 21:28:17 - bf4
Frames: 2808 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 46.800 - Min: 38 - Max: 59

On ultra (couple high ) 48 players fighting a tank/players

2013-10-04 21:36:32 - bf4
Frames: 1408 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 23.467 - Min: 11 - Max: 34

Not too far off the screenshots.

Whack your fans up and try this little mod.

Setters ghetto sli cooling mod mk1


The above was with a 120mm fan, a 140mm worked a good bit better though. Id actually considered buying another good clocker from illuz on the forums here and selling the weaker card. Spent the money on a new board and cpu instead after also selling my z77 kit.

haha, love it. I want to try this! Did it actually work and bring temps down?

Did you not know that K/D ratio is the most important thing when playing. The objective or winning comes secondary to most.

A sad truth. Wasn't too bad the first few days, tonight has been horrendous, won every round with ease as everyone else was fighting to camp on a roof.

I'm done.

Every server is full of campers not playing for the objective.

Just played some CQ....must just be a sniper lobby, about 20+ people on the roofrops sniping each other!! :D
They've made long distant sniping too easy, press V a few times and aim for the head...game does everything else :l

I'll stick to CQB Domination, aggro recon. Even though that's less fun than BF3/BC2 (BC2 = best)
 
I had a couple of games before I went to work and my whole squad (except me) were camping on top of the round building with sniper rifles. If that is their way of playing, fine but it does spoil it when you are taking objectives, just to give someone a cheap kill.
 
Do we need more than 8Gb or ram?
Read a review earlier saying that the game can use up to 9Gb of Ram? :confused:

My set up is a 3570k, 670k wf and 8Gb ram. Im at 1200p. I should be good for ultra ish settings?
 
Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
3461, 60000, 15, 82, 57.683

3570k at 4.5ghz
670 stock that boosts to 1149 core using latest whql drivers default settings in drivers.
bf4 beta using auto config which sets it to ultra for the most part just no defered aa.
Win 7 64bit using low priority for process, i did try turning 1 core off to see how bad it would be or maybe help i duno but it went from 80fps or somit in menu to 10-20fps in menu when i went from 4 to 3 cores. Just for the hell of it i tried it.

Just messing about on my own in a empty server i get the sudden fps lag spikes i.e looks like somits loading when you move or turn and the fps drops about half for a sec.

Cpu i dont think ever went past about 80% load

This btw was benched using a empty uk server domination normal where i just messed about shooting windows and stuff.

These minimums just make no sense. Averages and highs are good but drops like that point to something else being amiss. Possibly still beta issues and nothing that will rear its head in the full release (hopefully) but so many reporting lows like that on Nvidia and AMD, I hope it gets sorted.
 
I have to say i'm really impressed, its running beautifully, its so smooth.

that i'm able to get pretty much a constant 60 FPS with half settings on high and other half on Ultra 2x MSAA is not at all what i was expecting from my middling 7870XT.

I thought this game was meant to cripple the top end cards?
 
I just think its some sort of bug thats causing such high cpu usage and could be tied to sudden fps drop for no real reason as it happens just lookin around when your on ur own in a server. Hope they patch the beta so i can see what its like smooth without any drops and respectable cpu usage because i dont believe for a sec that this game beats arma 3 in cpu usage especially when bf4 is almost a copy of bf3 as peronally i cant see anything new that could cause it.
 
Anyone else occasionally getting the odd triangular polygon type shapes and lines mainly around vehicles appearing. Just can't explain it unless it's a driver issue.
 
Im trying to update punkbuster as a potential fix for the spikes of fps drops/lag but i cant update pb as it says error #0111 could not convrt blah blah to blah blah va001390.d64.

Any ideas?

In the pb update window thing it says im currently on client version V2.327/ A1388)

Yer I know, just can't explain it. Memory is at 1375 up from 1250. No issues elsewhere and temps well under control. Running 1.6v as standard.

What Greg said, set your memory to stock, including volts, see if that helps.

Edit, mem volts are 1.6v, not the core, Greg :)
