At 1024 res I reckon 30+

LOL my DDR2 9500GT 1gb gets that at 896x504.Dropping scale resolution to about 65% gets me in line with what my Q6600 can deliver which is upwards of 70 on low.

Did a bit of research on how to config custom resolutions for BF4 and as long as its 640x480 or higher i could force the game to use whatever i want and 896x504 is the lowest 16:9 resolution officially supported by BF4.:awe:

I sold the gtx650 a bit ago with a rig of mine,the 9500gt is all i got for the moment.:| CS:GO on low gets me 60+fps easily at 896x504 as does COD BO2 at 800x600.Can't config any resolutions for BO2 so 800x600 it is.

Lol, tell us what kind of fps you will get.

It will function as a desktop wall paper generator, refreshing your desktop a few times each minute with a unique, game based image each time.
Market it. Sell it. Prof it.

If you play in windowed mode,as soon as you are in game,you can just drag the game window to any size you want.

Edit: Wrong game.

But you definitely appear to be a classy guy online.

You had a 2500k and a 2 x GTX 480 back in 2012 with battlefield 3 and monitored its usage during gameplay...and now are supposedly mad because a 7770 can't keep up with BF4 today....

Trolling attempt or AMD bashing not properly thought out?

That computer I was borrowing at the time whilst my cousin was abroad for 7 months.

I am glad you took so much time to really try and nail something on me though, pretty sad and pathetic.

No need to be glad - it took the same amount of time googling your battletag as it would have for you to go ahead and research the performance of that card for that game.

I'm so thoroughly confused by this whole thread now.

Why do people brag about their systems, especially ones they don't even own.

And do you have a job to purchase rather marginally priced upgrades that you need? Like $200 on a video card?

And quite the level of being a dick in that BF3 thread.

I am confused too. What made you think BF4 would need less memory, CPU and video than BF3?
Why did you buy BF4 after hating BF3? Do your friends play if so I totally understand why you'd try BF4.

^^^I ran the beta with a gtx 260, Q9650, 8GB. Game ran playable at medium/low settings. I don't know the fps but it was playable.
I agree I think memory is the issue.

Of course it is.

4 is barely enough for anything current system wise.

The game was a gift from a steam friend, so it's really hard to not at least try and play it, and guys I am not on that system anymore.

However I still tried it out again and I found something that made it run stable... and it sure is the ram limiting it, but on all low settings at 1920x1080 with ready boost using a 32GB mem stick as system ram, it does 80-160FPS....
GPU is hardly touched, so it can be played with 4GB but at a very minimum rate.

I no longer have issues with BF4 as I said as I moved to Skylake.
