Hey everyone,

my friend and I both just purchased Sapphire R9 290X's and just put them in last night for our BF4 gaming night. The cards work great and the game play was amazing smooth and looked awesome, now my question is would the exact same cards get relatively the same fps in the same game?

The reason I ask is because he is getting much higher fps then myself. I am getting average 84 fps on ultra everything and he is getting average 113fps with the exact same settings.

important info in my setup is:
Asus M5a97 R2.0 LE mother board
AMD FX 8320 Processor
Cooler Master Hyper cooler 212
2x4gb G.Skill Ram
Samsung Evo 240 SSD
Sapphire R9 290X
Corsair TX650 Plus80 psu


His pc im not 100% on:
Board (unknown)
Corsair TX650 Plus 80 PSU
Intel 2320
2X4gb gaming ram
Sapphire R9 290X
Samsun Evo 240 SSD


The only thing I know that he has that I do not is Fiber Op internet connection, while I am using slower internet. Does internet speed matter for the fps of a gpu?

Thank you in advance.

That is what I am trying to find out... That CPU shouldn't really bottleneck that GPU, though. Try lowering settings and see if you get an improvement. Now, your FPS is closer to normal. He could have possibly A: Overclocked or B: Gotten an AMAZING card. Try his card in your system and see if that changes things. Update drivers as well.

The CPU matters when it comes to FPS. There have been plenty of articles benchmarking the affect a CPU has on the FPS. Also, you said the averages were the same, but were you playing the same map, against the same people? Was he spending more time inside buildings than you? That stuff actually matters when it comes to average FPS.

I noticed today in bf4 I was running Directx11 which was default and I had the option to chose mantle. I honestly do not know the difference between the two, should I be in mantle?

he is running directx11

Yes, Mantle will likely give better results, though Mantle is kind of in beta, so you may find some bugs.

What OS are you using? Win 8 is faster than Win 7 with BF4 due to it supporting DX11.1.

CPU's most definitely matter in multiplayer as well, and Intel CPU's are generally better than AMD's as a general rule. And of course there could be some settings that are different on your two systems.

We are both running windows 7.

Well I just came across a thread that mentioned if someone was in a game and they just looked up towards the sky, or towards the ground or even just up to a wall that their fps jumped. So I just tried it, I looked out at the mountains and did a test and it was up to 120fps.

Yeah you will get an FPS spike if you look at something still like the ground. I thought it was A. The CPU or B. Your friend was camping..
