Battlefield 4 minimum specs revealed

Is your PC Battlefield 4 ready? It better be if you want to continue calling yourself part of the PC gaming “master race,” and I know you love doing that. Still, you won't need anything too hectic to just get this game to run, even if the OS recommendation is a surprising one.

The minimum specifications are as follows:

  • OS: Windows Vista SP2 32 bit or more recent
  • Processor: AMD Athlon X2 2.8GHz or Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz
  • Memory: 4GB
  • Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 3870 or Nvidia Geforce 8800GT
  • Graphics memory: 512MB
  • Hard Drive; 30GB

Not so bad right? In-fact, apart from the large installation space needed, those are pretty generous. Anyone with a PC that was reasonably good at some point in the last 5-6 years should be able to play BF4 without a hitch. The real question at this point however, is whether your OS matches up to DICE's recommendation.

BF4 visuals have impressed us all for almost half a year at this point

The recommended specifications are:

OS: Windows 8 64bit
Processor: AMD six-core CPU or Intel quad core CPU
Memory: 8GB
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7870 or Nvidia Geforce GTX 660
Graphics memory: 3GB
Hard Drive 30GB

Windows 8. I don't think anybody saw that coming and even fewer people plan to make sure they match it.

KitGuru Says: So of course guys the question at this point is: is your PC ready? And how many of you will be using Windows 8 for it?

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.

  1. Wouldn’t mind getting my hands on a 7870 (or there abouts) .. But then again I’m still undecided about BF4 as a whole ..

  3. Windows 8 is DOA. That is entirely Microsoft’s fault. There was no careful transition, no hand holding. Now we know the consequence, don’t we.

    Windows 8 is fine, but i don’t like it. Contradiction? Yes, please.
