Just upgraded my GTX670 to a HD7990 yesterday because I thought my GTX670 couldn't handle bf4 anymore. It was stuttering and FPS dropped to 20FPS no matter what setting I was at.
Ended up being my CPU overheating and throttling like crazy because of dried of thermal paste, found out when I put in the 7990 and it did the same thing. Never thought my CPU would overheat. But apparently thermal paste matters a lot. Went from 60C idle 99C load to 29C idle and 60C load.
So... spent half a grand on a video card that I didn't need. Atleast now I can play maxed out @ 1080p w/ 175% resolution scale.
**Not sure if it has been mentioned here yet but resolution scale is what makes the game look next-gen. Turn off AA and FXAA, turn up resolution scale and you'll feel like you're playing Battlefield 6.**
I've been playing since release date on PS3 and it has crashed a lot too so the problems aren't just on Next Gen or PC. Luckily I have been following my Gameplay on my Battlelog and all the points and kills accumulated up to the point it freezes/crashes still get recorded. I just restart the PS3 and keep on playing. I haven't noticed a significant increase in Graphics over BF3 and I still notice parts of the map don't show up if you haven't looked in that direction in a while and even I walk up to fences that don't appear until I knife them to get through. I assume this is to keep the Cache down on the system to run more smoothly? I find it very annoying as I like to run Recon and it make's it difficult to see textures of landscape and building and players while scoped at long distances say 900m +
Side Note: Longest Headshot - 1234m on Hainan Resort playing Rush with the Intervention, 40x Scope & Muzzle Brake
PSN: ChappedSquid if anyone wants to ad me. Currently only two of my friends have it so it's a little lonely.
Also has anyone played on PS3 and PS4; pretty sure my wife is going to buy me a PS4 for Xmas just wondering if it's worth paying the 10$ to play on PS4. Is it any better? Posted via RS Mobile
game feels sluggish on the ps3 cause it's 30fps. 60fps on the ps4 feels wicked.
not sure if bite for $20 or wait for Premium Edition
i got burned by EA/DICE last round...think i'll wait it out as my backlog is in the triple digits lol
Picked up a copy for PS3 for cheap the other day. I've only gone through the campaign and played a couple of online rounds, but so far I'm not entirely impressed. Maybe once I pick up a PS4 and download the free copy I'll think better of it, but every time I turn it on, I'm forced to download yet another patch.

i have premium and honestly, it's not really worth it. these expansion packs do so little to the game, pretty much just new maps.
It is pretty sad seeing so many people being level 100 already.
There are also a lot more hackers in bf4 than in bf3, or maybe i'm just starting to become a noob due to age. Pretty sure a rifle can't shoot through an entire mountain with a ton of walls in between though.

how cheap is cheap if you don't mind me asking?
how would you compare it to bf3?
does anyone still even play bf3 on ps3? haven't logged on in months

Bought it with a GC when it was on sale during Black Friday. Only paid a couple dollars on top of my GC for it. Honestly, at least on the PS3, it feels more like a BF3 expansion than an all new game.
Just got game. Haven't been able to connect to ea servers to go online..yet I can play FIFA online no problem. On ps4.
Anyone else have similar problem? Posted via RS Mobile
i wasnt able to connect when they released that patch on first week of dec for ps4..

in video settings, which one is AA and FXAA? there are a few and one that says HBAO. I got c2q q8200 2.3ghz 7870 radeon at about 50-70 ultra depending on maps, is that good ? i was expecting bottle neck with such specs.
