just curious as to what performance i would get with this in battlefield 4? any ideas?

i5 3570k
GTX 660 SLI
550w xfx PSU
500gb HDD
1080p resolution
 
There are no benchmarks out there to compare it to but you gotta assume BF4 will be a jump up (my god...look at 2 to 3) but it won't require 2x660ti to reach Ultra. I'm assuming Ultra maxed out will take a 770 to get 60fps although I'm confident that a 760 could render 50+fps.

Also, if you want to SLI 660ti then 550W isn't gonna be enough. I'd suggest selling a 660ti and upgrading.

You cant compare bf2 from 2005 and bf3 from 2011, there were alot of other battlefield games in betweeen you should compare bc2 with bf3 which is indeed a step up and you might want to upgrade

660 sli is on par with gtx 590 and even better in some cases, considering that with every setting MAXED OUT in an UNoptimised ALPHA version without proper drivers gtx 590 sees average of 48 FPS you can expect to see minimum 60 FPS in released retail version with proper drivers on your setup.

Bf2-Bf3 5 years of time
bf3-bf4 2 years of time

Not really a big jump there actually.

Here is a sli gtx 580 vs gtx 590. Note that gtx 580SLI is very similar to gtx 660 sli and in this comparison gtx 580 sli wins against gtx 590 by an average of 16% performance. So gtx 660 sli is at worst 10% better than a gtx 590, puts it right behind gtx 780 although gtx 780 clearly wins.

Considering some cpu optimisation coming along with bf4 and dx 11.1 which kepler cards actually support in terms of game features fully as well, I expect to see the difference between single and multi become smaller than it was in bf3.

Also:

"BETA and the final retail version would improve the games performance drastically and GPU makers would offer new and improved drivers for their cards for improved frames and stable gameplay.
Do note that the game would be exclusively optimized for AMD hardware at launch day, the performance you are looking at below is not a representation of the retail game"

That drastically may indicate anywhere from 50% to 100% percent actually, taking into account the optimised gpu drivers as well.
