[GPU.RU]Battlefield 4 Beta Bench

Not at all.

Of course it does. It's a beta, not an advert.

If you dont think its an advert, then why is it getting so much publicity?

Also the point was, it would be silly to use such an old build no matter what. I am sure there has also been updated in the client/server part since E3.

It might join the endless ranks of premature released games. Not that I am a tad bitter with Rome 2 Patch 3 Beta Hotfix 3.

Holy jaggies good man! Turn some post AA on, you probably won't even take a performance hit.

yeah those screenshots are horrid. the game looks like complete ass even to be on low and medium. and what the hell is up with that tree? lol

Yea just experimenting,

With Antialiasing Post @ low : FPS at 48

With Antialiasing Post @ Low and Ambient Occlusion @ HBAO : fps @ 44

Does the game lower the resolution of textures on the 2gb cards to avoid stutter?

 

[blackened23]

It's a beta. Performance will improve. If anyone here played the bf3 beta, the performance was pretty awful prior to release with a lot of graphical anomalies - my favorite being the footlong neck while crawling on the ground. Those issues were fixed in the release version.

Beta is beta for a reason.

Good question!

 

[soccerballtux]

Crysis Ryse will run at 900p. Not to mention dynamic downscaling.

So no, they cant even run todays games at the expected settings.

thats xbox. GPU hardware on ps4 is 50% faster-- 50% faster shaders and 50% more readily available bandwidth.
This might be bad for sony though, MS just get impatient and release next gen in 5 years.

 

[soccerballtux]

I think the most interesting was to see the core load at the end of the article. Seems like BF4 will load up to 8 cores pretty heavily.

hm wow it can even peg 6 cores--

 

[Gloomy]

Neat, but they promised 8

 

[Arkaign]

Looks like a real reason to go i7 or 63xx/83xx instead of i5/4xxx for sure. And the APUs, psssh.

Have you ever used a beta before? This stuff is normal. Use an older build because it's easier to get out at the time. The current build is in the late stages of debugging, so getting that build out for a beta isn't totally reasonable due to being busy with polishing the last bits. Even demos put out at or near the release of a game use an older build. It's called a beta because it's a beta. Really simple.

I'll leave this here for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TKCJJb3hWM

Wasnt that long ago we played the BF3 beta.. remember the horrible textures, low model trees and sandbags? Still got horrible performance at the time.

 

[NostaSeronx]

Neat, but they promised 8

Mantle won't be out till December--ish.

Huh? i5 is still around 25% faster than FX6300. And that is a 2 gen old i5. Not sure if a Haswell i5 is faster, but I would think a few percent at least.

I played the BETA for about an hour today, here are my results according to FRAPS:

CPU: i7 920 @ 3.4ghz
6GB RAM
W7 x64
Radeon 5870 1GB
FOV: 100
vsync off
HBAO

ULTRA presets / 2560x1440p / no AA
Min 23
Max 36
Avg 28

HIGH presets / 1080p / FXAA high
Min 24
Max 46
Avg 33

HIGH presets / 1080p / no AA
Min 26
Max 82
Avg 38

MEDIUM presets / 1080p / 4x MSAA
Min 16
Max 34
Avg 26

CPU utilization hovered around 50-60%, RAM was between 72 - 81% (max)

BF4 Beta reminds me a lot of the BF3 beta. crap graphics, buggy, heavier resource usage, etc. I'm confident that BF4 will be solid and a kick ass game like BF3 became shortly after release. Really hoping the CPU usage is a whole lot less in the finalized release, GPU I can handle since you can just turn down settings.

It seems to happen in a lot of games. The gap between the 7970GE and 780 closes as the resolution increases. It's too consistent to be a driver issue. I suspect it's an efficiency issue; AMD's rasterizers and ROPs are probably hitting higher efficiency levels at greater resolutions (where triangles cover larger fractions of their rasterization tiles).

It is odd, Nvidia cards in general do not perform well at 1600p and even 1440p, yet their performance is good at 5760x1080p. It isn't specifically about it being higher in total resolution that causes Nvidia cards issues, it seems specific to higher single monitor resolutions (not 4k, as they are tiled in a surround setup).

 

[Paul98]

i5 3750k at 4.4ghz
7850 at 1050/1200
8gb of ram

First tried 2560x1440, going from low to to high didn't change fps much around 40fps. I don't like going under 60fps, it isn't smooth enough, dropped down to 1080p. Haven't tried many settings on max yet, but it's above 60fps. I am going to do some more testing tonight to get good IQ, but more importantly 60fps and enemies that are easy to stop.

It's called gpu memory max from both vendors.

Maybe a post hoc just so story, but I think it is pretty self explanatory.

7000 series Radeon cards have a lot of memory bandwidth, but do not have a clear processing power advantage.

So @ 1080p where memory is not as much as an issue, Nvidia cards do well. At 1440p, memory becomes an issue, and Radeons do better. At 5760 x 1080p, raw processing power is needed, and Nvidia looks good again.

 

[Xarick]

Well I get some interesting performance.
gtx 670 factory OC
q9550 @ 3.4
6gigs ddr2
1080x1920 everything on ultra 4xmsaa
I get average about 30fps with it dropping to 20 in heavy action and upping to 35ish when there isn't much going on.. above 40 indoors.
however, it feels very smooth and never feels laggy.

so you elected to play in tall screen instead of widescreen?

and that poor 670 will never reach its full potential with that cpu. :\

 

[Grooveriding]

The game plays well for me with dips only during big explosions happening close to me. Oddly on the Battlefield forums a lot of complaints are fom people with multiple 780s or Titans about terrible 30fps type performance issues. Generally it's people with nvidia cards having issues.

Normally I would guess it is because of the heavy AMD involvement and shens going on, in this case I'm going with CPU killing them as they are usually running an i5. I'm seeing 60% to as high as 90% usage on all 12 threads in the game

 

[Silverforce11]

Impossibru!!

That would be nuts if it actually scaled beyond 8 threads .. and here I am a few months ago building this 3570K rig, I was tossing up whether I needed 8 threads or not..

 

[uclaLabrat]

I'm running a stock 920 with 6G RAM and a 6970 at 1080P and I've been averaging in the 40s, going as high as 60, but about every 30 seconds I get massive stuttering. For about 30 seconds I was stuck at 1-2 fps. Pretty frustrating with the hiccups.
