System Builder Marathon Q3 2014: System Value Compared

Results: Battlefield 4

Everyone wins in Battlefied 4 at Medium Quality. Paul lacks the performance potential to test at 5760x1080, but the target of his $600 PC is only 1920x1080. Reaching 60 FPS at 4800x900 without overclocking makes Paul the smart shopper.

Mr. Henningsen's $600 system drops out of the triple-wide race at Battlefield's Ultra quality preset, but still hits its 1920x1080 target. Don’s $1300 PC might be playable at 5760x1080, but that’s more of a sure thing as I approach 40 FPS with my overclocked $1600 machine.
