I'm taking a break from the BF4 Beta :thumbup:

I can say that it is a lagfest but its really fun. Trying to run it in Surround does not work very well in regards of optimization,
HUD items and other stuff is well done however. I'ts a very low pgu usage and i only get som 35isch FPS.
So i change to single screen and now i run it in 120 fps. :twothumb:

I do however miss gaming in 5760*1080. I really hope this is fixed bafire the actual launch of BF4.

Have some of you guys tried it with Surround or Eyefinity yeat? What is your findings?

Oh, and I have posted a "bug" report to the Battlelog Beta forum here http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/fo ... 804459193/
Please feel free to add your report as well so they have plenty to work on before launch.




Regards

The game is running great here on trifire 7970's and the latest AMD 13.10B2 drivers. I am running ultra settings with 2xAA. I am using a FPS cap of 65 FPS in my USER.CFG. I hardely ever see dips below 65 fps game play is smooth and fluid. I do get occasional server lag though where you start to rubber band while running. I know Nvidia released some beta drivers for the game have you tried those?

Here is my USER.CFG file I am using.

RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 0
perfoverlay.drawfps 1
perfoverlay.enable 1
gametime.maxvariablefps 65
perfoverlay.drawgraph 1

This game is all weird for me, I get the same framerates (40-60) running 5760x1080 as 1920x1080 :P

I have everything on ultra and 4xMsaa and get 50-60 @ 5760x1080. I tried upping the super-sampling but it didn't like it much and at 150% I was getting under 30 fps.

Yes, I used the new nvidia drivers.
But problem is gone now. After the latest game patch everything is smooth and fine now.
All on Ultra and 2xMSAA, turned off Motion Blur and Super Sampling at 100%.
Now all 3-Way Sli GPU's are used till max and I'm a happy chap.

Thx for the FPS limit trick in the user.cfg wasn't aware of that one!

How's everyones vram usage on this? in 5760x1080 I get about 3.7GB which makes my 7970's cry a little. Doesn't really matter if I run low or ultra, same vram. If I lower the render resolution ~60% I can get below 3gb and it feels smoother (might be due to 100fps instead of 50-70)

Most monitoring apps report the wrong memory usage when using more then 1 gpu. They add the memory usage for each card even though the info is shadowed. Use one card with the same game settings then see what it is, then enable the other gpu/gpu's.


Oh and I am loving the new battle screen interactive map. I am going to be adding a 42 in TV mounted over my 3x27inch screens soon and use my micro PC to drive it. U am using my laptop atm for battle screen.

To use the battle screen on another pc just log into battle log join a game on your gaming rig. A blue bar will pop up on the bottom of battle log click battle screen and enjoy the full size map on a separate screen or pc. You can also switch server as we'll like this without leaving the game.

Genius. x2. Disabled crossfire and voila, ~1800-1900MB. Well that solves that question :) thanks.
Another thing, I noticed that if I can my fps to 60 I get MUCH less stutter than when it's at 70-75fps so that solved that issue aswell.

Oh that sounds really neat actually :o Can you run it "separately" on one computer say if I would add a 4th monitor or does it use a ton of resources? I do have a server i could route a monitor cable to I guess if not.

THANKS :twothumb:

No it don't use hardly any resources all you are doing is running the battlelog web page on a separate PC or monitor. I guess you could do a 3x1 with 1 over the top Eyefinity setup. I'm just not sure if crossfire still works in that arrangement. I will test it once I get my new TV and wall mount bracket. But I am hopping to be able to run commander mode on that screen while gaming on my 3x1.

When you join a game alt+tab out you will see the battlescreen option at the bottom. You can be logged into battle log on another pc as well out just can't launch origin on it or it will boot out of the game and say account in use elsewhere. If using the battlescreen on another pc just open battlelog in a web browser and make sure the plug in is installed.
