Is my video card good enough for BF4

rolo swaggins · Oct 11, 2013

I have an MSI r7970 tf 3 gb, will it run BF4 at high/medium settings?

Novuake · Oct 11, 2013

Yep, it is, but if you play multiplayer, then your CPU needs to be beefy too.

I would think so, but your CPU does matter in this case as well

Running on high is iffy. It will run smoothly for the most part, but when levelution occurs, you will probably have some framerate issues. That's what happens with my 650Ti Boost. Also, I have an i5 4670K so you can compare yours to that to figure out if it would run!

One more thing - The game even on Medium looks fantastic. Medium to High on 1920x1080 isn't a huge difference.

I don't think you'll have a problem, the recommended requirements for BF4 is like a GTX 660 or a 7870 I believe. My wife's rig has a 660 ti in it and runs BF4 on high no probem. No frame rate drops during levolution either.

I use a 7970 ultra settings minus mesh and AA @ 2560x1440 averaging 50-55 fps, so you should be fine. Like others have said BF4 is pretty CPU intensive as well.

i have an amd 6300

Then expect to average around 40 fps due to your CPU limiting you, if your motherboard supports the 8350 that would be the most economical route for better performance, otherwise jumping to intel might be a good idea.

Kind of a bottle neck if you ask me with the 7970 and 6300...Bottle necking the CPU that is. You want an i5 4670k or 3670k. 40fps on medium high.

thinking aboat upgrading to a r9 280x what new cpu should i pair with it has to be an am3+ socket

MadRetch · Oct 19, 2013

8350 or 9370 and your gpu is fine the recommended gpu is a 7870 you should be able to play ultra! the beta was very unoptimised so thats why everyone is worried about there gpu imo you should be able to max it out except maybe AA my suggestion would be hold on to your 7970 then decide to upgrade! your cpu is also the recommended cpu but thats one thing i would actually upgrade!

ur gpu is fine, there is not much difference between 7970 and 280x. 280x is just the rebadged 7970. FX6300 is also a recommended cpu but if u want to invest on your rig then get 8350

Would my i7 2600k cause a bottleneck for bf4 if I get a gtx 780?

nah you should be good.

rolo swaggins :

You can crossfire your 7970 with a 280x because it is the same card. Doing it that way should save you some money instead of buying two 280x.

I almost forgot you could crossfire the 280x and the 7970
