Well, it is a very early beta. Wouldn't be surprised if it went down closer to release.

GTXZME4356d ago

yeah but still 4 months left to release and that high requirement for beta. LOL

RedDeadLB4355d ago

It's not badly optimized at all, it runs the same as Battlefield 4, possibly better. The thing is, the minimum requirements for BF4 were a complete and outright lie. The game is virtually unplayable with only 4GB DDR3, 6GB is barely enough.

I want to know if anyone even tried running BF4 with an HD3870 and Core2Duo the minimum requirements suggested. My guess is no, no one in their right mind thought the game could run smoothly with those specs. Heck, I have a GTX 760 and an i5 3570k @ 4GHz coupled with 6GB RAM and it still doesn't run as smooth as it should because it just eats up the memory.

I have a high end dedicated gaming PC with around 10gb ram, at max settings BF4 ran perfectly at about 80 - 90 fps using around 4gb ram.

RedDeadLB4355d ago

I ran Battlefield 4 with 4GB DDR3 and it stuttered and kept freezing for 2-3 seconds at a time. It's the reason I upgraded to 6GB, now it runs okay, albeit with a hitch here and there, because the 6GB is nearly maxed out. Framerate isn't the problem, the stuttering is.

I have a hd 7950 and can run it on high settings at 1080p. If i put it on ultra i get around 30-40fps. I don't think the game is poorly optimised at all.

GTXZME4355d ago

Man HD 7950 is powerful GPU. But as EA mentioned the whooping system reqs many PC gamers felt in shock. Mostly mid end PC users :D

Seafort4355d ago

I just don't rate Frostbite engine that highly. It seems to always have problems even on consoles.

I think they need to work on the engine a bit more to make it more efficient and less prone to crashing.

Battlefield 3 and 4 proves it's not all that good and DICE should really think about upgrading it or scrapping it for another engine that works.

GTXZME4355d ago

Well BF3 was far better optimized than BF4 which have many glitches and many patches for them.

MajorGecko4355d ago

Idk why seaport has disagrees, every battlefield game since bf2 has been buggy at least on consoles. They shud get a new engine since they blinded themselves to the orig goal of massive destruction.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
