FX 6300 - GTX 650Ti 2GB - Battlefield 4 - 1080p

Aamir Ahamed · Nov 6, 2014

Title says it all but into detail.
Those are my specs but one more thing is that I OC'ed my FX 6300 to 3800MHz.
8GB RAM.
So I'll be buying a copy Battlefield 4 soon, so at what settings would I be able to play it at?

You should be fine gaming at Medium settings at a minimum if not into High. That FX 6300 is just begging for more of an overclock. Depending on your motherboard, you should settle somewhere closer to 4.5GHz with proper cooling.

Medium

FX 6300 with a good cooler can do 4.4-4.5GHz on near stock voltage. Paired with Mantle and an R9 270x it will be noticeably faster and can handle High with some Ultra settings.

Aamir Ahamed :

First of all , you should not overclock your CPU unless you have sufficient cooling and proper cooling paste.
Overclocking also shortens the lifespan so u would be wise to under-volt it to make sure it doesn't get too hot.

I have the same system lying around here , you will not get 60 fps on medium or high.
You will have to play on custom settings with a few tweaks here and there.

I would find a good overclock tutorial on your CPU and use MSI Afterburner to OC the 650ti with 10% if it does not exceed the 90 degrees mark.

Good luck!

Sorry everyone but I forgot to mention the cooler.. CM Hyper 212 Evo. It's good for overclocking right?
And my motherboard - ASUS M5A99X EVO.
But I didn't want to overclock the CPU too much thinking that it might bottleneck the GPU.

Okay, so medium settings without AA's and stuff is what you guys mean right?

Aamir Ahamed :

That cpu and graphics card will not give you 60 fps at 1080p medium settings period.

if you want 1080p you will have to put custom settings (alot on low), i have another computer with the exact same card.
and i i7 2700k.

Also the CPU might be holding you back more since Havok renders cpu to the max with the particles.

your settings for 1080p will be @ low / custom.

i also play bf4

Aamir Ahamed · Nov 6, 2014

oh that's sad. Would it bottleneck the card if I OC the CPU to 4GHz? That would help right?

This guy's tutorial actually increases single core performance. Please tell me whether it's ok or not.
Thanks for the quick replies bud.

Aamir Ahamed :

Overclocking the CPU could help a bit , but its not worth it, u might get 1-5 extra fps.
Just play at 1080p and everything at low and enjoy the game,

I'm sure u can tweak some settings to get some put to medium but not all.
Good luck.

cm0scm0s · Nov 6, 2014

Partition failed: The requested change in size is too small.

Here you can see the CPU running fine, without overclocks even on ultra. at least with not too much particles from havok.
Its the GPU that wont get u on medium with 1080p

cm0scm0s :

No

Just use AMD Feature Manager .
The cpu power settings let you start your OC with a few mouse clicks , and it will automatically stress test the CPU at every step . When it has finished running you get a slider that lets you set the processor to the maximum safe speed for your cooling solution .

OP do you have the 650 ti already?
I suspect there are better options i that price range

650ti averages 60fps at medium settings. Don't know why you think you will be stuck at low settings.

cm0scm0s · Nov 6, 2014

tiny voices :

Those benchmarks are made in single player mode at the beginning of the game. Good luck getting 60 @ medium doing Conquest Large in a full server.

I presumed you are planning to play battlefield 4 online.
Nothing is more important than decent FPS in an FPS

Aamir Ahamed · Nov 8, 2014

Actually guys I bought this GPU around 2 years ago...
So, yeah I will be playing online of course like DUH.
Low with the AA's? or Low like really low, without the other AA presets?

Aamir Ahamed · Nov 8, 2014

Kinda in a sad situation right now :'c
I currently have cheap Acer 17" monitor(6 years old).. And I'll be buying a 1080p monitor soon + BF4 copy aswell = max - 1100AED($300).
So I recently bought some new parts which are the ones I mentioned before, for gaming. The GPU I had it with the PC I had before.
So going with a R9 270X or GTX 760 or maybe GTX 960 would be way out of my budget

#Sad life. Better wait for another year for a better GPU then. :v

tiny voices · Nov 8, 2014

Your GPU will play BF4. Don't think it will not. It should play perfectly fine at medium settings. Don;t worry.

Aamir Ahamed · Nov 9, 2014

Yeah I will be playing the game but in low-med settings(mostly low).

tiny voices · Nov 9, 2014

You will have no issues at all even with some settings at medium. No problem.

Aamir Ahamed · Nov 10, 2014

But what would you think would be the best GPU for the fx 6300? GTX 960 which will be coming soon or ..?
