Battlefield 4 – PC Performance Analysis

DSOGaming writes: "Prior to its release, Battlefield 4 was advertised as a genre-defining all-out war experience brought to life with unmatched visual and audio fidelity, superior character animations and dynamic destruction that would show people what Frostbite 3 is capable of. Well, Battlefield 4 has been finally released and it’s time to see how this puppy performs on the PC platform."

Just shows how much power is needed.

Looks fantastic though.

the thing that drives me nuts about tests like this is that they are always single player...how useful is that when the multiplayer could run at half the frame rate depending on your equipment?

multiplayer is HELL on cpu's compared to single player...my R9 280x sees usage upwards of 80% in single player, with an average framerate in the low 60s...completely maxed at 1080...but, in multiplayer, same settings, my gpu usage drops to about 60%, average frames falls into the upper 50's, but with much lower mins...and cpu usage is all over the place...

this could be just a launch issue...as cpu usage also seems to jiggle around with severe server lag, which means there are probably memory leaks and whatever other bugs occurring in the netcode...

but i'm waiting for mantle, see if that helps the cpu bottleneck i have (which i was fully expecting, mind you, its actually better than I anticipated)...and if not, new cpu early next year...

KimoNoir4588d ago

That q9550 is a huge bottleneck because i just recently upgraded my q9500 oc'd @ 4.5 to an i53570k @ 4.5 and everything runs 100% better than before.. Dso needs to upgrade if theyre gonna make another performance review.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1518d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501517d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1516d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1517d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1517d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1518d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1517d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881517d ago (Edited 1517d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331517d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881517d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1517d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
