Will this Graphics card play BF4 on max?

from tom's hardware's own review of the R9 270, it looks like you'll be able to run it 60 FPS average on high settings at 1080p resolution, which isn't too shabby imo for such an inexpensive card. But you most likely won't be able to run it max, however, you may be able to run it on ultra with MSAA turned off at smooth/playable frame rates, it just won't be the nice 60 average most ppl are looking for.

Also keep in mind that in December BF4 will receive a patch that enables Mantle support for AMD cards, which may also boost performance for you should you go with this card.
