Thoughts on how BF4 might run on APUs?

Not just because I brought one today (6800k), but how do you think it would run on low/medium graphics? (win 7, 4gb ram)

I Love the Christmasy emoticons.

Not very playable in multiplayer at 1080p, i would imagine.

The 6800k is essentially a refresh of the 5800k with minimal performance gain, so i suppose this video is quite relevant.

To me that fps is not acceptable for competative first person shooter multiplayer, but i suppose others might find 18-27 fps not all that bad.

I would have held out till feb for Kaveri, if you had a rig to use for the meantime.

well, having played minecraft at 16fps for the last 2 years, i should feel quite at home. this actually is better than i expected.

From looking around the 6800K APU struggles to sustain BF3 at 30fps with low settings and 1280x1024 res so BF4 is gonna be pretty close to unplayable IMO.

meh, its not the end of the world, Ill be able to play L4D2 etc. Obviously Im gonna pick up a GFX card ASAP.

For a laugh I have just made a 5800K APU system and am installing BF4.

Any settings you want me to try?

see what fps you can get out of the lowest possible settings.

Single player yeah?

Well, I'll play both, so if you got time, both. But I cant see there being too much of a difference. but then again, what do i know. I'm running this.
