I have a dell xps 15, I-7 4702hq 2.2ghz, 16gb ram, windows 8.1 touchscreen, 1tb hdd + 32gb ssd, gt750m, 3200 x 1900 resolution screen. my problem is when I play BF 4, it'll play good for a few minutes or seconds, doesn't seem to matter how I have my graphics set (resolution and texture, etc..), it will suddenly drop either on the frame rate or the computers wifi connection sucks. im not sure which. but I can tell you that when I played it on my inspiron 17r with a gt650m and windows 7, literally moments after I tried on the xps, it plays fine on the inspiron. its so bad that it skips like one frame a second or 2!! absolutely un-playable. and it happens instantaneously. and never recovers until I restart the game, multiplayer of course.
