just got asus gtx 780 but BF4 optimizes low?

[Deleted]

Even if you download the same file for two different cards that doesn't mean that the drivers itself are the exact same.

780 is like twice the power of a 760... Regardless you cannot use the full power of a 780 unless you have an i7 in BF4. The Game is so CPU heavy that an i5 is completely maxed out for the game.

Getting 85-95% CPU usage while only 60-85% GPU usage with i5-2500k @ 4.3 GHz and GTX 580. Game runs at a solid 60 FPS with everything at low apart from Mesh which is at High.

TL;DR: You need an i7 to not bottleneck BF4.

I don't know where you got this....I have an i5 2500k @ 4.5 ghz and an EVGA 780 Classified @ 1280/7000. I run the game max to the max at 2560x1440p, average 70-80 FPS, lowest I've seen according to fraps is 50ish FPS. My CPU is not maxed at all and my GPU runs at 99% all day in BF4...

Interesting to see all these people running double the framerate of reviews. It's like they can't admit their expensive hardware only runs 10fps higher than a 200$ card.
Unless some driver or update released increasing fps by 200%, there is no way you're getting 90-100fps @ 1080p, or 70-80 fps on 1440p with a 780 @ ultra.

I've played the game on my 670 (1258/7000) and i only got ~45-50fps. Which is on par with this review:

Last time i checked, the 780 is not 200% better but only 30-40%. Someone here is lying, i doubt it's me or the reviewers. Especially in actual large maps there is no way. These reviews are still single player....

I don't know if you've played BF4, but single player actually rapes my system way worse than 64 player multi. I get dips into the 30's in single player with everything maxed, so those reviews are probably right. I've frapsed many 64 player maps and I average 70-80, with dips to 50, and spikes to 100+. Single player is way more taxing than multi in BF4 from the testing I've done.

[Majesticii]

Really? Yeah i've only played the multiplayer Beta. I would never imagined the SP being more taxing.

[pkm]

Pretty much yeah.
Also windows 8.1 have some amazing optimization for 4+ cores, I'd say your 8350 would benefit greatly.

Interesting. I was thinking of getting a processor and heard the i5 3570k is all round best for gaming. But if 8350 is good and i believe its cheaper should i go with that instead?

Its a buy with caution thing. accept the fact that AMD has all but said they arent supporting their FX line of processors anymore and its an easy choice. The 8350 is an excellent chip when you put it with a good motherboard and it overclocks like a champ. Also like i said in a previous post more and more games are being optimized for 4+ cores so the usefulness of the 8350 is increasing. Ive yet to find any issues that i could blame my 8350 for when it comes to performance roadblocks. Plus multitasking is AWESOME with it.

Good motherboard huh? I was thinking just a random cheap one to pair up with it since mine isnt AM3+ lol

yeaa.. most people run with an Asus Sabtertooth 990FX or an Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z board. they are just as much as the processor but it is nature of the beast. Two things i never skimp on. Motherboards and power supplies

[Petrix]

Yes, i'm sure you get double the framerate than every review conducted by professionals.
Stop making stuff up, it's not helping anyone.

Oh im sorry, i totally forgot that different cards can not run differently... That all chips are the same, and that overclocking a GPU is not something you can do... Im running mine overclocked by ALOT for this card, and it runs like a dream... The tests are singleplayer, where i am playing multiplayer, and singleplayer is actually more tough on the system....
So please dont come in here being a total douche towards other people, when you have NO idea what youre talking about.

[reohh]

I get 100 fps on average with BF4 at the preset Ultra setting with a 780 and 2500k. And yes the singleplayer is much much more taxing than 64 player MP

Hmm how would you think an overclocked phenom x4 955 do for BF4? Its got a coolermaster X6 HSF...

Yes, you're making a model citizen of yourself by posting this.

Looking at the floor maybe..

I'm running BF4 on ultra settings with 8350@4.6Ghz and mild graphics overclock because of heat!, I can hit 117FPS but get stable 70FPS. Don't measure your gameplay based on your system because there is always someone with bigger, better, faster or stronger. ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE/HAVEBUILT!

Guys claiming 100+ fps without Titan/R290 are FOS!

Lol nope. GTX 780 and I consistently get 100+ fps with a few drops here and there.

[Mure]

Factory overclocked 780's beat titans (classifieds/lightnings/ect), not to mention if you overclock them further.

70 fps? That's way too low for 3 7970's. Obviously a cpu bottleneck so i don't see the point of having 3 of them.

Nah not at all you do. Empty server 130 fps 90% load on 2 780's; you're never going to have 100+fps consistently at ultra.

[Sicarius87]

I have a factory overlocked Asus GTX 780 DirectCUII GPU. 100+ fps in most instances. ~70 fps in most other cases.

Duh, of course it is, you can see from his setup that he went full fanboy with that setup. GPUs aren't a bad choice but that CPU for a otherwise such a high end setup is quite disappointing.
