Battlefield 4 (also known as BF4) is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and published by Electronic Arts. The game is a sequel to 2011′s Battlefield 3. Battlefield 4 is built on the new Frostbite 3 engine. The new Frostbite engine enables more realistic environments with higher resolution textures and particle effects. A new “networked water” system is also being introduced, allowing all players in the game to see the same wave at the same time.Tessellation has also been overhauled.
We test at 2560×1600 with the image quality settings on the ‘ULTRA’ preset. We test the AMD hardware with both Direct X and AMD’s Mantle rendering. Nvidia hardware is tested with Direct X rendering.
The R9 280 and GTX760 struggle at these settings at 1600p, although for many people 25+ frame rates are fine. We found the game enjoyable at these settings with the XFX R9 280 Black OC Edition.
What kind of VRM temps did you get with this card? I’m a little worried as after just 5 mins of Furmark with stock settings my card has VRM temps of 99 degrees.
