spi_ajay · Aug 25, 2014

hello,
i want to know software or hardware part by which i can play battlefield 4 on ultra settings . what settings i have to configure for that purpose
i have fx6300, asus r9 280 dciitop, 12gb ram, m5a97 asus r2.0 mobo, 1tb seagate 7200 rpm, cooler master hyper 212x, monitor samsung s22b370h. asus xonar dx sound card.5.1 creative speakers

You need a new GPU plain and simple. If you had something like a gtx770 you could max it.

Honestly your system should be close to maxing it anyway. You CPU might be holding you back a bit.

No software will help. You are hardware limited.

The only way to do that and play those settings without problems is to replace your CPU with an Intel based cpu like the i5 4690k. That AMD fx6300 is a really poor gaming cpu. Here is a comparison of frames per second: You can see the Intel i5 gets about 30 fps more without problems.

The R9-280 should be able to play BF4 smoothly with all settings on ultra at 1920x1080 at 60fps. You may have to turn down the anti-aliasing a tad bit but that's it. Your CPU on the other hand may be holding you back a bit though.

Don't listen to what this guy said. I tested so many cards with different CPU like FX-6300 stock / FX-6300 oc 4,6Ghz / i5 3570K stock / i5 3570K @ 4,4Ghz ... with 7850/7870/6970/580/670/680/280X/......... in BF3 and other games, no BF4 but since the CPU is demanding the same power with the same graphics card in BF3 and BF4 I can tell you exactly how it works. Of cours if you want the same frames in BF3 as in BF4 then it differs from CPU-usage logiclly cause you need then bigger card. So r9 280 max in BF3 = av 90 fps and in BF4 = 60fps so lower fps = less CPU-usage. And maybe even BF3 ask more cpu-usage, then you will be even more save with your setup in BF4 than my tested BF3 benches

You'r FX 6300 must be perfectly fine if you OC it at least above 4,2/4,3 Ghz. The FX-6300 at stock will retain you from some FPS, but not really bottlenecking and no lag for sure. If not so smooth for you, than OC it like I said.
I did mine with a low-end 49euro motherboard to 4,6Ghz very stable with max temps of 48 on the cores (recommended to stay under 70 degrees in full stress). I was able to go untill 4,8Ghz with this MB but it fluctueted with voltage and speed, cause my MB only has 4-pin cpu power connection, but you have 8 so no problem.

I just did a test yesterday in BF3 online 40 players with my FX-6300 (4,6Ghz) and i5 3570K (4,4Ghz) both with the same 7870 oc at 1920x1080 in ultra settings but no AA. And I was surprised that my AV. was exactly the same during 4 minutes benchmark. Even the FX did a little more frames. And then I looked up the CPU-usage. And I saw that on the FX he uses coplettely balanced the 5 cores + the 6th core going up and down (20-50%) and the average on all 6 core was like 55-60% usage. In the other hand the i5-3570K did use all 4 cores around 60-80% so around 65-70% of av. total usage. In other words my crossfireX 7870's gives some bottleneck to the i5 @ 4,4Ghz yes I tested it, but I didn't tested it on FX-6300 @4,6Ghz, but I'm pretty sure it will almost not bottleneck the FX at this speed. and 2x7870 is more performance than a R9 280 (like 20-30% in BF4 games) /, so you will be more fine with your 280 than my 2x7870oc.

The guy above showed you a graph. that tells nothing about your needs. Cause you asked for Ultra details in 1080p, not medium or low settings in 720p ! like in the graph.

How more FPS asked from GPU (so bigger GPU or lowering the settings/resolution) how more CPU will work to maintain the 100% the asked GPU frames/s, because a GPU always try to give his full potential frames (so 100% work-load)

And yes a i5 is better for games that just need good 2-3 cores in games like Crysis / far cry / COD's .....
But what the hell, BF3 that is 3 years old uses nicely the six-cores all together if I put resolution 1680x1050 and High settings in 30-64 players maps. So 6 core processor is the sweet spot for BF3/4 MuTIPLAYER!

But I still love more my i5 3570K

but i5 3570K @4,4Ghz + MB has a price tag of 380euro (1 year ago) and my FX-6300 @ 4,6Ghz + MB costed 150euro (5 moths ago) so 130 euro cheaper.

I hope I helped you a bit. Let me know if you want to know more

Seems to me like your CPU is bottlenecking your system. That card should be able to max out pretty much any game. I have a 280X and it plays anything on max at 90ish. Might want to look at upgrading your CPU, an i54670K would do nicely, or a newer generation AMD CPU. Especially games like BF4 rely a lot more on the CPU than most other games, so if your CPU isn't good enough, your GPU can't keep up.

So, you just said a whole 5 paragraphs of crap that wont help him one bit. He has no chance of playing that game on ultra with his cpu as we have said. Great tests though

Hey before posting, do you read previous answers ?
His CPU needs to OC thats all. No need to spend 300 dollar in i5 !!!!! You can oc your FX-6300 probably easy to 4,4Ghz stable with a nice cooler. FX-6300 @ 4.4Ghz = i5 3570K @ 4.2-4.3Ghz in multiplayer games such as BF3/BF4. Retaining of FPS doesn't mean bottleneck FOR NOOBS THAT Didn't KNOW THIS. My fx-6300 @ stock with 7870oc does 50FPS at max 4xMSAA 1080p in multiplayer and when OC to 4,6Ghz I got on same map and players like 59FPS av. But it doesn't mean that @ stock the CPU is the bottleneck , ddduuuuh''
At stock speeds it uses all the way the 6 cores between 50 and 80 % and @ 4.6Ghz is uses 5 cores between 50 and 80% and with the 6th core fluctuating from 0 to 50 %. So more advantage of six-core than the 4 cores of the i5, AND I'M TALKING ABOUT BF3/4 MULTIPLAYER LIKE ALL WHAT'S ABOUT THIS TOPIC!!!

If you have read my previous text and arguments, you probably will shut your mounth CAUSE I JUST TESTED IT.
YES I HAVE LIKE 5 PC's with 12 graphic cards and I'm a freak with numbers.
So close THIS TOPIC!!

THX everyone for not reading clearly my text with TRUE FACTS.

I just bought a new high end motherboard to try to get the 5+ ghz stable out of my FX-6300

and then will test again with BF4 with the 2x 7870oc's in CrossfireX in 1080P. Don't forget 2x 7870 = between R9 280 and R9 290!

See some pics here from my PC's/hardware. Good games pc's but not to expensive

WTF I just helped him out with a clearly answer like nobody else did !! + I give a lot true of information of my experience that I have take out of my tests.
