Battlefield 4 18Fps on 2Gb HD 6670?!

szacsi72 · Dec 27, 2015

Dear guys!

//SPECS DOWN\\

I need your help. I just put my PC together and installede bf4. When I tried to play it, I was so surprised- I got an avarage of 20fps on lowest settings! I thought this is impossible! I played bf3 on medium on an old pc with low-end cpu and ram etc. Also, here is a guy with the same card, the gigabyte HD 6670 2gb:

The question was if can he run bf4.

So, I came here for a solution.
Unparking looked like a good idea. I did it. Nothing happened

Then I started looking after and found this:

I use hungarian windows. It says I do have 4 cores, 8 logical processors and 8mb L3 cache.
Well, I have an AMD FX 8320e. Wich is EIGHT core. So this is bit weird. I dont know if this helps or not just showing this too.

So this is the setup i got avg 20fps...:

AMD FX 8320e
Asus m5a78l-m
2x4GB Kingston 1866mhz HyperX Fury
240gb Kingston SSD
Gigabyte Radeon HD 6670 2gb.
A 430W PSU. Cant remember its name but can check if it matters.
25" 21:9 ultrawide LG monitor on 2560x1080p.

Any solution? Or others threads that may help?
Thanks a lot,
David

What's interesting about the old 2013 posting you reference is that it was dated October 12th, but the game came out October 29th of 2013. Perhaps he was referring to BF3? More interesting is that he never states what resolution he plays it in. I know many people around the world who play it in 1366 x 768 resolution. Without him stating a resolution, his statement is irrelevant.

I see from your screen shot that your CPU utilization is low, but what about your GPU utilization? Download HWmonitor, afterburner, or whatever tool you like. Check what the utilization is on your 6670. I'm not sure but I'd be surprised if that card could push that many pixels and exceed 30 FPS.

By the way, I have the 3440 x 1440 version of your panel. Wide screen is good stuff.

and is known for power hunger cpu.. can I have the psu name.. and did u play any other games??
tbh u should atleast go more than 30fps in the lowest setting tbh.. and what resolution are u playing on??

szacsi72 · Dec 27, 2015

1. 2560x1080p. Gotta try on lower.
2. Yes, maybe it was bf3. Sorry.

the problem might be the psu..Can u tell
me all of ur components in ur build??

szacsi72 · Dec 27, 2015

AMD FX 8320e
Asus m5a78l-m
2x4GB Kingston 1866mhz HyperX Fury
240gb Kingston SSD
Gigabyte Radeon HD 6670 2gb.
HKC 430W 3430
Sharkoon VS4-V
Artic CPU cooler

I think this is all.

szacsi72 · Dec 27, 2015

430W is enough, psu calculator said 300-350W.

Dulith1118 · Dec 27, 2015

u should have atleast 483W of power to run on the edge... Upgrade ur powersupply to a 550W or 600W evga or a seasonic powersupply and it should work fine..
430W isn't enough power specially when u have an amd cpu

http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

This guy said 271W.

Dulith1118 · Dec 27, 2015

ur psu is the problem otherwise it should work.. There not enough power for gpu..

Dulith1118 · Dec 27, 2015

and I'm not sure that psu has 430W power might be lower than that..

szacsi72 · Dec 27, 2015

So maybe I should try a bigger one. I dont want to just buy one, do you think that at a local shop they let me try one?

Dulith1118 · Dec 27, 2015

if u have a friend u can lend one so
u can try.. otherwise they won't let u jst try I think..

I don't say this to instigate but this power supply doesn't look good, so I don't trust that it provides 430 watts of continuous power. 75% efficiency and it has the word "peak" in the input current description.

Efficiency: 75 % at full load
Inrush Current: 75A(PEAK) for 115 Vac

Addendum: I'm also thinking that it must generate a lot of heat, if it's nearing full load with that GPU, and has 25% inefficiency being expelled in the form of heat.

Dulith1118 · Dec 27, 2015

that's what I said it's his psu holding back the performance due to the lack
of power to the components

stavrosmast · Dec 27, 2015

If the calculator said 300w you said? Then the psu has to be more and they dont mean i psu like this
http://www.skroutz.gr/s/315258/OEM-PSU-24pin-450W-ATX-bulk.html
they mean one like this

http://www.skroutz.gr/s/5130116/Super-Flower-Golden-Green-HX-450W.html

stavrosmast · Dec 27, 2015

or just a tier 2 or better psu

szacsi72 · Dec 27, 2015

Okey, i managed to play it for two hours (it was horrible, just to test) and got this.

No, the psu is actually quite cold.

Went to the gigabyte page, they say 400W. 430x0.75= 322.5. :I

szacsi72 · Dec 27, 2015

Could you tell me some nice ones under/around 40usd?

stavrosmast · Dec 27, 2015

site?

szacsi72 · Dec 27, 2015

I meant for RRP, as I will order from a Hungarian site.

stavrosmast · Dec 27, 2015

evga g2 550W

szacsi72 · Dec 28, 2015

Okey guys. I was at my mate today and he runs on a 450W noname psu, with a huge Asus card (maybe a 7970), and an FX 8350. He says he never had problems.
So..: He does have problems, just didnt notice it.
Or, maybe there is something with the 6plug? My psu also has one,but its not in use.
