Low FPS in Battlefield 4

[AndySledge]

Hi Guys, I have a a framerate Problem on Battlefield 4, in other Games my PC just works fine but in Battlefield 3 & 4 I dont get a stable 60 FPS out of my rig, my FPS drops to 45-50 when I look at the scenery or when a lot of things happen (Explosions & Particles), but my PC should handle it easily. This occurs only with the D3D Renderer, Mantle is fine

Ultra/High Preset makes no difference, I use only PostAA and SSAO

- Drivers are fresh
- Done a clean install
- Nothing is Overlclocked
- Temp's are fine.

My Rig:
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230V3
GPU: ASUS Direct CU II R9 280X
RAM: Single Channel Kingston 8 GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz
Mobo: ASRock H87 Pro 4
OS: Windows 8.1 64x
Res: 1920x1080

Any ideas?

Single channel ram has got to be holding you back a little. Other than that @1080 on max I would expect dips below 60 with your setup.

LOL! for R9 280X min 45~50 FPS is good for that card!

I got the High Preset on BF4 and no its not, the 280x should have min FPS of 55-60 at least at the High Preset without AA and only Post AA on High

That single channel RAM is slower than usually, but not slow.
45 - 50 FPS is just fine if you're running on Ultra presets, 4X MSAA / HBAO

Benchmarks show that is almost exactly what the card is capable of running at.

Mhm, just switched to Mantle and tried that Unpark thing, now Rocksolid 70 FPS on Shanghai with 64 Players, I switch back to D3D to see if it was the Unpark Tool that did the thing for me..

Yea you are right, but I dont run AA and HBAO 😉

+1 😀

Okay, Mantle did the trick and I got solid 70 FPS all the time, but not at D3D even with the middle preset I get 45 FPS in Shanghai, there is something wrong isn't it ? When I set the details on low I only get 60-70 FPS ... Is Direct X that bad coded or what 😀

Like to point out the XEON is made for SERVERS or Media Rendering, not gaming. Numerous 'Xeon vs i7' tests show the XEON performs 'worse', because it isn't made for the way gaming is needed for a CPU. The significant differences come into play the more you 'push' the Game to perform to what you 'want it to do' as compared to what it can do.

Just a word of advice.

Yes Xeon's made for servers but in games it must be equal with i7 because the difference is Xeon doesn't have integrated graphics like HD4600!

That's bullshit m8, the Xeon has the same architecture as a i7 , it has just a lower frequency thats it

MMm I wasn't aware of the new Haswell Xeon (http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-E3-1230-v3-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4770K). Historically the XEON line was specifically tailored for singular or limited number application multiple thread demands, like being the server housing this forum taking and posting these inputs to this AND all the other threads at this moment being read / written to. A consumer CPU (iCores) weren't typically optimized for that multifunctional performance, but more tailored for multimedia and multi applicational (have mp3 running, reading email, looking at webpages, etc.) support.

Seems now they have converged lined together.

 

[Ahmadjon]

Both processors uses same instructions so they should be almost same except Xeon doesn't have integrated graphics and has locked multiplier so they are almost same http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/490/Intel_Core_i7_i7-4770K_vs_Intel_Xeon_E3-1230_v3.html

 

[Ahmadjon]

They also have same L1, L2 and L3 level caches!
