Well no.
Or maybe low with 20-25 fps max.

Because you dont have a Dedicated GPU.
The Graphic card in that PC is CPU's integrated and that CPU aint that power full either so yeah.

''Can my PC run Bf4? ''

NO NO NO!

rgd1101 · Jun 3, 2014

run yes, play no.

reset6413 · Jun 3, 2014

So what would be the best option to go about upgrading this build On a low
budget?

badboyrog2 · Jun 3, 2014

add a dedicated gpu
update the cpu like the amd 760K
add a 8 gb ram dual channel ddr3
get a real psu like seasonic/xfx/corsair etc..
so a new build maybe

reset6413 :

and the budget is?

vrumor · Jun 3, 2014

You need a new CPU, motherboard and GPU. So unless you are willing to spend $250+, you are stuck not playing it.

reset6413 · Jun 3, 2014

upgrading the GPU on its own won't be enough to solve the issue budget would be around 100.00

I would go with the 260x here. It'll be playable and not too bad if you used the Mantle API, as it would take a lot of stress off the CPU.

reset6413 · Jun 3, 2014

okay I'm new to desktops and PC gamig, so please bare with my noon questions.

since the CPU and hours are integrated, would I need to replace the CPU a well if I get a dedicated gpu?

BleedingEdgeTek · Jun 3, 2014

No, the motherboard will simply disable the integrated graphics chip. The CPU would still function as normal, but you would need to plug the display into the graphics card output instead of the motherboard.

rgd1101 · Jun 3, 2014

nope. it would just use the dedicated gpu.

reset6413 · Jun 3, 2014

okay I'm on a low budget so I bought this PC prebuilt to get a gaming if started, possibly a bad pick, not completely sure. if I added a dedicated GPU like on I the ones posted above , would that do me any good, and would I need to upgrade the power supply too?

BleedingEdgeTek · Jun 3, 2014

Anything more than the 250x/260x you would need a new power supply, but if not, it should be fine.

reset6413 · Jun 3, 2014

so the sapphire 260x posted earlier would be okay, compatible and psu is strong enough?

vrumor · Jun 3, 2014

Sorry, youll need more than a GPU to get playable frames in BF4 multiplayer. The dual core APU will not even be close to enough to play on big maps with lots of people. BF4 multiplayer needs a strong CPU to perform well.

BleedingEdgeTek · Jun 4, 2014

The 260x with Mantle will greatly improve BF4 performance over an NVIDIA card of the same level. Mantle was built for those kinds of situations, and the 260x will certainly give playable performance in BF4, assuming settings are turned down. I would expect medium graphics or so.

I'd expect high-ultra settings 2x MSAA at 30+ FPS
