So hardly any difference between similarly clocked i5's/i7s then : /. I thought an i7 was loads faster than an i5 in this?

I still say hold off till the game is officialy released Imginy. It may be just poor optimization and the full release will see your CPU holding up much better.
4 weeks till launch, so not long to wait.

No maybe about it, it's a bottleneck on the beta map with 780 SLI. Hell my 3570k is maxed out with just an 670.
Cheaper to bung in a 3770k, would save the hassle of switching mobo and reinstalling windows etc. Ive owned 3570k, 3770k and now a 4770k. It isnt a big difference over the 3770k.Would depend how much stuff is going on i5 is great until it bottlenecks

Just looked and found the beta and the averages are closer but the minimums are off still. And agreed with user reviews every time.

Looks like 2GB is coping just fine to me![]()
. Would you look at that - 770 and 7970 producing nigh on identical performance.This may help people identify what they need or what to expect. Not sure on the authenticity but something to mull over.

LOL oh dear. Now GameGPU will go from hero to zero on here. Would you look at that - 770 and 7970 producing nigh on identical performance.

+1
And scale that GTX 690 result up and you get what I have been getting using two GTX 690s
Minimums in the 60s and average around 100.![]()
and just for Tonester and Matt

Hey Matt how is ur 2700K doing with BF4? Cant wait to see how mine does @ 4.5GHz tho i can go higher anyway. I'd like to see how a 5GHz OC does in terms of usage on my system![]()
They did a Kaap
lolz^^ ...gm
to be fair they do drive past some fire and get some smoke going with the gun, its not totally useless for a gpu test
the graph above it about the cpu's i question if they did the same tho
You can't really base a bench of a game like Battlefield 4 on something like that though. Anyone who plays the game frequently will know thats in no way an accurate method of checking performance.
Yes makes you wonder, they seem a bit low considering the method they used earlier. You can tell the server is empty because it says waiting for other players to join at the start.

this has been a problem for a long time, most benchmarks and advice given isnt from people that play the game, certainly not in any competitive way
and a multiplayer game like this its hard to have any kind of standard test, way too many variables playing online, you can understand why they try to keep the tests as controlled as possible as thats more "scientific" and their graphs would be a mess otherwise but thats not "real world"
unless they play it and get in the action they have no idea what copes and what doesnt
i find opinions of people that play the games i like more valuable than graphs
anyway thats my morning rant
i guess its okay aslong as they dont advise what people to buy from their tests

So how many times do we have to ask EA/Dice to give us a benchmark tool? Loads of other titles manage it and its hardly any great effort on their behalf.
Agreed. One can only hope they do this time. I'm pretty sure Battlefield 3 had a built in benchmark, but it was removed on final release.
