We have a thread of this nature going on in our forums, thought I'd expand it over here. I am looking at upgrading my GPU and HDD, so looking to see what the best set up for money seems to be.
I have...
i5 3570k @ 3.40 GHz
AMD HD6850 OC (from the box)
8Gb (value) ram
Couple of HDDs (no SDDs yet)
Loading time is pretty average too, vary rarely getting into the servers before the count down.
I'm getting about 40fps on low/medium with massive drops to sometimes single figures (GPU is running at about 55-60 degrees). Not looking for solutions, just want to have a perv under the hood so to speak.

AMD Phenon II x6 @ 4.0ghz
AMD 6850 @900mhz
8gb 1666 mhz corsair ram
a few SATA 3's no ssd
get 60fps on avarage ... works i guess

70-100 hovers around 90ish. Update stopped the random crashes and gave a big FPS boost, runs real smooth, more than any other game. The only thing is map loading takes 2-3minutes with normally only a few seconds before the spawn timer hits zero.

Freshly benched in Fraps with current version on Beta... Note I have capped FPS in BF4 to 125fps.
Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg

Asus DirectCU II 7970 @1100/1475
Couple of Seagate 1TB's
Everything maxed out(Resolution Scaling at 100 and no motion blur) @1920x1080, never really drops below 60, usually averaging about 70-80 fps
I find hiking the resolution scaling up to 200 drops my frames down to about 15-20.. Time to get another 7970 OR I might just pick up a 280x which can CFX with the 7970 :D

Hey, Ive been thinking of upgrading my 4gb of Ripjaws ram for awhile, I know that back in the day it was always recommended to keep 2 slots free, is it worth going for 16gb (4sticks) or just get 2 new fast sticks for a total of 8gb?
In other words is 16gb necessary or will 8gb do?

The free slots is to do with Memory Channels if I remember right, running in Dual Channel gives better performance I think.

i5 3570K @ stock
660 Ti
16GB ram (this made the a huge difference)
SSD
I'm usually one of the first into the server
Everything on ultra and highest (I think, pretty close to) I turned on adaptive vsync in nvidia panel thinger
Also turned off the motion blur shit, I turn it on for SP though cause I like the immersion.
Thinking I'll turn my settings back down again though cause it's fuckin hard to see people now.

throw an SSD in that puppy and you'll feel better.... Here is my video showing the difference.

Know there is prob a particular section for this but....
Have conned the mrs into letting me do a cheap upgrade to my PC :)
To be more precise she we decided to spend a whole lot on her so we I decided to spend a wee bit on myself.
***sighs and remembers a simpler time when he was the master of his own universe***
Anyway....
Currently my CPU is the main bottleneck running at 99% while using only 70% of my Ram and my 2xHD5770's are only using 50-60% of the GPU and 75% of their Ram.
Am I correct to assume that in my case an SSD would make a negligible difference?
Am considering getting the items below
AMD FX8350 $274.55
8gb Gkill ripjaw DDR3 1600 $108
Asus Sabertooth Motherboard $290.50
$673.05 plus $20 to courier to Sth Island
Will upgrade vid card in near future and then SSD

Hold up there tiger. Before you jump into solution mode, what exactly is the problem? What CPU do you have? When does it run at 99%? What are you doing in order for that to happen? I have an i5 3570k (Ivy Bridge) which is fine 99% of the time, then when BF4 is going, it loads up to 95-99% too. How many FPS are you getting on a 32 player server vs 64 (64 strains, a lot)?
SSD will get you into the game quicker than all the other mofos (ie if you're quick and don't piss around you get a pretty good selection of vehicles if they're on the server). Pretty much it'll change your who computer experience. Need to restart? pfft, don't bother going to the toilet! It'll be back on before you lift the toilet seat. Need to open excel? Don't even have time to read the ribbon (2010).
Things just get done, quick smart... Personally, depending on your CPU, I would go for an SSD over any upgrade at the moment. Unless you have a Pentium 2 or something...

I was having cuntugly problems, reinstall drivers, turn off motion blur with the cfg, install special nvidia thing in the root dir, punkbuster update, update bios made my game run 90% smoother.
special emphasis on punkbuster. It's what worked for me

Specs
Q6600 @ 3.6

1tb sata hdd
Win 8.1
1920x1080@60hz
All settings low
25-60fps
3-4 min loads on some maps
CPU is hitting 95-99% pretty much constantly
64p is close to unplayable on most maps 20-45fps on 32p 3/4 of the time it is playable 35-50fps up to 60 ocasionally
and low as 25.
Cant really see the point in an SSD just to load in super quick just to have it run like crap.

Have used BF4 settings editor to put everything on lowest
Generally manually update PB each time before I play
Over the past month I have tried every setup with the gear I have to get it to run better
win7, win 8, win 8.1 few different catalyst drivers, diff HDDs 3"5 1tb sata , 2"5 120gb sata and 3"5 IDE 320gb
Surprisingly the IDE HDD had a load time of only 45sec before it decided to die on me.

You're right with the sdd comment.
-
Your CPU is a huge bottleneck, those things are old as balls now. You may want to consider a core upgrade if you have the cash

I upped my MB and got an AMD 8350 @4.3 (from a q6600) and 8gig ddr3 ram, much more better. All ultra, smooth 60 with vsync on. R9 280X card.
Actually I have turned AA off and AA post process as well, but upped the resolution scale to 110%. Makes things crisp so it's much easier to spot people.

Just had a quick play with some new stuff at work
65" 4k TV + GTX Titian.
Getting around 30fps all Ultra. Had to turn it down a bit tho because it would drop to 8fps on some scenes

After many years of not upgrading shall I get a evga gtx 770 or 780 sc act. Huge price difference...

Hi all,
I have been happily playing BF3 (Premium) on my old rig - in fact I am still playing BF3 as we speak - but I was wondering if BF4 would run at all on this config:
Q9550, 8GB RAM, 4890 1GB, Samsung 840Pro SSD, Windows 7
(and a lot more crap that isn't relevant)
I've tried the BF4 demo and it ran like puppy diarrhoea through a coffee filter but it did for most folks with more recent rigs than mine. Unlike most, BF4 demo rarely crashed at my end, it just dipped to single level digits, even at all low settings.
So I was wondering if the final, patched and overhauled BF4 product would actually run any better or if my cash would be better spend on some more flat whites? (Being a Wellingtonian after all..)
My reason for asking is that I have been looking into upgrading the lot but when researching CPU benchmarks, I found that those new i5s surely are quicker .. but aren't blowing the Q9550 completely out of the water. A high-spec i7 just isn't in the cards at the moment.
-
The full game runs a lot better for me than the beta did, but it's a bit of a lottery with BF4 performance haha.
-
Mines pretty stable now. It's pretty much just game play mechanics that are still broken.
