or you could just simply use 2x msaa or just stick with fxaa only. Its not like the game is super jaggy with fxaa plus this is multi so are you really staring at the screen for jaggies?

8 gigs ram
770 with 2gb vram
1920x1080
Ultra everything
Motion Blur off
HBAO
MSAA 4x
FXAA low
The game ran smooth and was at 60fps most of the time except I would get a few seconds of massive fps stutter when I would move into a new area. Looking at my Afterburner metrics, this is because of a bottleneck with my 2gb of vram. I wish I sprung for the 4gb version of the card.

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).
6) FX8350 @ 4Ghz is keeping up with i7 2600K and is embarrassing the old 1100T. Very nice optimization for Vishera here. If only more games took advantage of 6-8 CPU threads.
As some of us speculated on the CPU forum, because weak 8 core APUs are powering next gen consoles, future cross platform games should benefit AMD on the PC as well, as its a requirement to make the games very threaded to take advantage of many weaker cores of the consoles.
In essence, Intel 4/8HT will also benefit, but not as large as 8 real core would, thus, it enables AMD's FX 8 core CPU to match a 4/8 of Intel for less $$, and finally allow the FX to beat intel i5s.
Ofc it doesnt bother intel since the 4/4 CPU is essentially the same die/cost as their 4/8.
Fx8350 - $200 (100%)
4670k - $240 (120%)
Fx8350 -58,5 (100%) OC: 65/68 fps (100/105%)
4670k - 63 (108%) OC: 71,5 fps(110%)
Easy pick. Intel have everything higher than FX! Price included! Clearly a better choice!
Granted if you clock the 930 to 4Ghz also you should see the seperation in the numbers
Well, pclab.pl used the "Domination" mode. Thats why they have different performance than GameGPU.ru review which they used the "Conquest" mode.
Conquest mode includes Infantry, Vehicles and Aircraft with up to 64 player maps.
Domination is a infantry only mode with up to 20 player maps.
yes... both tests are relevant but a little different, gamegpu scenario seems to be using more "cores/threads" (just look at 2500 vs 2600), but unfortunately gamegpu is stuck in Q1 2011 when it comes to mainstream Intel CPUs, and they have the useless 3970x, but no ivy bridge or haswell... which makes their tests less interesting.
I didnt say they are not relevant, i just pointed out why there is that discrepancy in the results so everyone should know how the systems perform in the various Gaming Modes.
If you are planing on playing in Conquest mode you will need more than 4 core CPUs. For all the other gaming modes (20 to 32 player), High performance 4 Core CPUs are better (as of now in Beta).
really? the game GPU tests is showing something different, the sandy bridge i7 with the same performance as the higher clocked AMD 8 core CPU, now the HT-less i5, if you overclock the 2500K you will also be getting around the same performance as the 8350, since there is a 600-700MHz deficit, but both have around the same max clock while overclocking,
not to mention the newer quad cores...
It also shows that 6-Core Core i7 is 23% faster than 4C 8T for Minimum fps and 21% faster on Average fps.
And if you take 4C 4T, the performance difference is even higher. Im not only talking about AMD 8-cores but Intel 6C 12T and 8-Threded CPUs.
64player maps need more than 4C 4T CPUs.
you need to test the game with newer Intel quad cores before saying anything, the game does benefit from more than 4T, but it looks like a fast 4T CPU (like Haswell i5) is great for it, so "need" is not exactly what I would say.
remember the 6 core CPUs have other advantages, cache, memory, clock (for the 3970x), PCIE 3.0 (for AMD cards at least), all of this could contribute to the difference,
if you compare the 2600K with the 3930K the difference is not that big, and the clock difference while running the game I don't know, both have the same turbo for 1c load, but during the game it's probably 200 or 300mhz advantage for the 2600?
but again, 12MB vs 8MB of l3, quad channel memory
I bet the Core i7 930 will have more consistent frame rate than the Core i5 2500K. Just looking at minimum and average numbers doesn't shows the whole picture. Next week ill try to make a small review with different CPUs to have more data.
it would be great to see one of the review sites that got the FCAT hardware for free using it for comparing CPUs...
but... the only thing the graphic is showing is the 2500K and 930 delivering basically the same experience (same min and avg), and doing some basic math, a small OC would be sufficient for the 2500K to deliver the same as the stock 2600K and 8350.
if you have any i7 disabling HT on the bios should help to evaluate (my experience with task manager affinity had some strange results)
Last Night I was getting 60FPS with my rig with Everything high except textures on ultra and vsync. It was running beautifully. Now this morning I can't get above 45fps. I know its a beta but it seems strange still.

In trying to figure out what happened like maybe an accidental settings change, I put everything at the lowest settings and I still can't get above 45fps. It bounces around 25 to 45 at LOW settings. WTF? Seriously less than 24 hours ago I was running 60fps smooth as butter. My CPU usage is 100% in the game right now. I might try a re-install.
