Funny, the recommended cards are GTX 660 and HD 7870 but recommended VRAM is 3GB haha.

ya i think medium high is good if the optimization is good maybe high without aa and i would recommend an intel cpu like i5-3470 or a haswell one like 4570 would be better or get fx-8320 at the least it isnot so expensive it is 160$ on newegg if you got a new intel you maybe max it with some aa
 


On 720p he could definitely run it on high preset.
 


it also says quad core Intel cpu, that could mean a q6600, or an i5 4670k, there is a huge difference. and a 6 core AMD cpu, it could be an fx6100 or 1055t, compared to an fx6350 is also quite a difference, yet they dont specify. yeah, they are pretty vague specs. they really should be more specific.
 


Thanks.
 


no problem my friend i am here to help
 


the difference in the performance between the 760 and 7870 non xt near the 10% in gaming and the recommended requirements are for the 1080p i thought that so you can max it but turn aa off if it well optimized if not you have to low the resolution or settings of the game or you can OC if you have liquid cooler
 




the game isnt out yet, so noone really knows for sure. I would say ultra with 60+fps no at a guess, maybe 40-60fps.
 


Thanks, bud!
 

Btw, you might be correct. However, bf3 had a memory leak probs on some maps. this means that the vram used by the game is not all needed, the 1.7gb you mentioned might be a false number, and i highly doubt the new engine will be having the same problem. Secondly, a new game engine means better textures indeed, but it also means better optimization and better streaming of info or whatever through the gpu. Finally, the matter of bf4 being paid by either or nvidia or amd is a possibilty, we cant exclude it. After all, the requirements might be correct and 2gb cant run it well on full AA, nobody knows yet, but lets hope(for me) a 2gb can handle it 🙂
 


no problem friend have fun
 



about that i think battlefield 4 is optimized for nividia cards like ASUS Geforce GTX 780 DCU II 3gb or Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 OC 4GB
or this one GTX 660 Ti OC 3GB any way my thoery battlefield is optimized for nividia cards with 3gb like 660ti or higher at ultra with full aa and optimized for amd cards like 7870 like Sapphire HD 7870 oc edition so you should get a higher if you have an HD monitor if you playing on a lower resolution 7870 will be enough for 45+fps if the optimization is good but if you want high fps at ultra full aa 1080p i would recommend this to get +50 fps

VGA : SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 OC with Boost
CPU : Intel Core i5-4670k if you like OC if not get i7-4770
Ram : 8gb will be enough but if more than 1080p then 12gb to 16 will be good if you want more fps get 7970 or head sli or croosfire
 
i was wondering will my sytem be able to run bf4 on ultra will solid frame rates. I have two zotac gtx 680 amp edition cards running sli,16 gb of corsair vengance ram a i7 3770k and two 1920x18080 monitors. For hard drive's i have two 512gb ssd from samsung please reply
 


can you please suggest at what settings il be able to play?
FX 8350
XFX HD7750 1GB DDR5
8GB RAM DDR3
(1366x768)
 


Im guessing med settings i know the 7750 isnt to powerful you would want something like a gtx 760/770 or ati 7950/7970 or so

 


about the settings definitely max settings about the fps it is hard to predict it because of the optimization is unknown if it will be good or not but i think you are playing on 2160P maybe so i give it 55+ fps but keep aa off may you get higher but remember this predict not the real fps about solid fps this is hard to be because of the game is so demanding due to the requirements but don't worry you will run it with good fps at max 😀
 


look my friend your vga card isn't good for ultra and i really don't recommend amd processors but it is still good and yours higher than the recommended requirements about the vga you can play the game at high maybe with some aa ( i like to turn it off to get higher fps ) or you can oc or get your self 7870 or 7850 those will be good with aa at your resolution but when you get the game try all settings
 


but i think 7870 and 7850 can max it at 768p the recommended requirements for 1080p so i think he is going to get good fps at high no aa
 


well...i dont care for BF4 more than watchdogs
based on the BF4 specs,i have seen that WD predicted specs are quite low,..will it be lower than BF4?
i know that UBISOFT optimises their games well(AC3 was an exception)
can my rig pull it off?
m just dyng to play that materpiece...any help will give me a relief
thanx
 



about watch dogs it is hard to can predict it requirements because that i heard it took five years of development so i think this game is going to be like GTA V or may even better and it is open world i heard about predicted requirements and it was

VGA : Radeon HD 6950
CPU : Core i5 or 8xxx amd series
Ram : 6gb
if those are the real requirements you are going to be able to run it high / max that is going to happen if it optimized if not med/high at your resolution and about AC 4 because there is many people care about it . it based on the same engine like AC 3 but iam not really sure so the requirements won't be much higher than AC 3 about the fps if the optimization is good maybe +35 high/max in watch dogs and i thought that
but i told you before i would recommend 7850 or 7870 or GTX 760 to get higher performance your pc is good but needs better VGA card
and may i can tell you more if you made a benchmark in tomb raider :survival edition 2013
 
Hey guys will my pc handle it? Specs copied from the website I just bought it from.... if it wont run it on high with 60fps I may cry
