is it just me, or does battlefield 4 hate overclocked graphics cards? Perfectly stable in literaly every other game i play except for bf4. Even after it crashes the first time and i go back to a lower (or even stock) clocks, bf4 just throws a tantrum until i restart my computer.

BF4 is really graphics intensive and destroys cards because it still really isn't optimized and thus beats cards down pretty bad. You really need to make sure your card is stable before going into BF4 because otherwise BF4 will make sure you know that it isn't stable.

I'm a student currently attending the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, if you attend or around there please don't hesitate to contact me!

Considering it can be maxed by a 770 at ~50fps, it seems pretty optimized to me. Maybe I'm wrong.

But what he said, benchmarks are used to really try to stress the Gpu and bf4 does a pretty good job at that. Are you using the stock bios? I've had trouble with skyn3ts bios and bf4.

Why...? But anyway bf4 is more stressful than other games.

Yea, I have the same issue. SLI GTX 770s rock solid at about +100Mhz in every other game both pitch a fit and give me that DXGI device hung error if I overclock by even 5Mhz in BF4. Not that you really need an overclock with SLI'd 770s, neither card gets over about 80% usage even with resolution scale set at 130%. At 100% res scale they barely hit 50% each. 100-144fps on a mix of ultra, high & low. 

 

Seems to be a bit harder on OC'd CPUs too. Never had a single WHEA warning with 3770k @ 4.5GHz @ 1.18V in normal usage or stress testing but started getting them with BF4. Had to bump voltage up to 1.2V to get the warnings to stop.

im just not fluent in it yet, plus I dont really have a reference like i would with cpu's... i know the performance difference between a i5 clocked at 3.8ghz, and one at 4.2ghz, but with graphics cards i dont understand the performance increase between X and Y, obviously a higher clock is better, but whats low, average, high, extreme?

 

edit: also not 100% sure how memory clock speeds affect performance/over-all fps Vs. core clock

I had to underclock my ASUS 770 DCUII OC because it would give me he DirectX error device hung.

I get a good 45ish FPS at high. I got a R9 270 OC'd to 1000mhz stable overclock. No lag at all for me.

Do yourself a favor and throw another 660 in there like i did , do the Sli driver fix for BF4 and then you can run it @60fps maxsettings @1080p :D

Battlefield 4 hates gamers.

I get 60 frames at 1080p on a dual core APU. Ask me how.
