Bare-minimum AMD-based system for Battlefield 4 on medium?

GDonPadlan · Sep 6, 2014

Hello,

I am very sure that an FX-8320 and R9 280 can play Battlefield 4 at ultra without problems. So now I am wondering what the bare minimum AMD-based components are to play Battlefield 4 at medium graphics settings around 60 FPS.

I would greatly appreciate if anyone would post links to pre-built computers or computers from http://pcpartpicker.com/.

Thanks in advance!

A build based around a Pentium G3258 (believe it or not) and a R7 260x would work for the settings you described. It might be around 50fps, but it's still very playable.

Ouch, $83 for the Athlon with no upgrade path... also from the youtube videos I've seen the G3258 is somehow managing to get higher frame rates compared to the Athlon even in multiplayer. I regret that I went with a FM2+ motherboard to say the least...

I wanted to Obey the OPs rules

The G3258>Athlon

TopLuca :

Oh yes, my budget is $700. Sorry for the late reply.

GDonPadlan :

Is this with or without an OS?

GDonPadlan · Sep 6, 2014

RazerZ :

Without; I have an extra Windows 7 CD.

TopLuca :

This is a nice build, I'll keep it in consideration, thank you!

Oh yes, quick question. How do you think a GTX 650 would perform on Battlefield 4 when paired with an FX-8320? Would it run low, medium, high or ultra?

GDonPadlan :

Just youtube search GTX 650 Bf4, and you should find plenty of gameplay videos. I wouldn't recommend that card because you can get more powerful cards for the same price.
