Will my PC be able to run the Game at 120 FPS?

Battlefield 4 General Discussion

Hey there,
i have recently bought a 27" 120 hz Monitor. Now i want to know if my PC is able to run it at 120 Fps at ultra settings.

Specs:

i5 3470
Kingston hyperX 2x8 GB
gigabyte hd7970 ghz edition
Windows 7
samsung 512 gb ssd

thanks

I hope you are trolling. But if this question is honest: no. You will probably be playing at around 50-60. At least thats what I can squeeze out at ULTRA with GTX 680+i5 3570k

On that note, at 1080p, what am I going to get from an i5 4670K and an AMD 280x (3GB VRAM)? And uh, 8GB of RAM.

I’m getting a new system - If I need better specs, I want to know now :stuck_out_tongue:

120 fps? I would probably recommend sli/crossfire depending on your preference, that or a gtx 780 (which has an incoming price drop!). IDK much about the amd cards but I think they are roughly compaparable to their 700 series counterparts.

I think a 4670k would be fine, If you plan to OC I recommend an aftermarket cooler though.

Edit: I am dumb, didn’t notice the AMD preference. And yes I would go for the 3gb version with 8 gigs of ram

I believe the 280x is superior to the 770, I’m just not sure in its stance with the 780. I also know BF4 is geared towards the AMD cards?

Thanks for recommending the aftermarket cooler, I’ll definitely do that!

My motherboard will be compatible with sli, but I can’t afford that to start.

Well in comparison I have an 4670k oc’d to 4.4 with an evo 212 cooler. I also have a gtx 770, 2gb from gigabyte and 8gigs of ram (2x4, 1600mhz)

With that setup, I play at a solid 60 fps with 0 hitches (with occasional CTD, thanks EA) with ultra texture and terrain quality and ultra to high mix everything else.

So if you want to get a solid 120, you will need to heavily invest in your GPU(s), as that will be your bottleneck.

Alright. The 770 is cheaper at the moment, but only by pennies. I suppose I could work towards a second 280x, if I bought one to start with? Honestly, 60FPS is plenty, and I’d probably end up playing on high rather than ultra in any case (at 1080p - can’t afford a 2K monitor this early on).

If you are okay with 60 fps than there are a bunch of options, take a look at this review roundup :

Honestly, I think 60 fps is great for playing competitively. Last game I played I went 13-1 as squad leader and loved every minute of it. Its really about your skill level and less about your FPS (imo).

Also, despite its technical issues, the game really is fantastic.

No, I was not trolling. Im not very experienced with the Computerhardware, nor am I able to tell from the Game’s requirements how smooth it will run.

thanks anyway.

I mean - currently my outdating PC scrapes 30FPS and I still get a fair (1.2KD, good teamplay) score. It’s just obviously, if I’m upgrading, I want it to be a hefty upgrade :slight_smile:

By the time I get BF4, I hope the issues are ironed out - either way, thanks for all the help! :smiley:
