What do you already have/are going to get for other components, what resolution are you going to play at, and how many FPS do you want to get?

[antoainb]

Budget? And what settings?

i have 2 660ti's i play on 1080p and i wanna get around 120FPS. my system is in my signature.

780ti? Dual 770s?

Whats wrong with the 660ti's? I have one, and can play on almost ultra at 60fps... It would honestly be a waste of money to upgrade. You will see a difference in possibly a 780, or 780ti. If you can bear it, wait for Maxwell (800 series).

 

Edit: Just did a test, I can run BF4 at 60fps stable (80 peak) on ultra at 1080p with an i5-4670k@4.2HGz, and a GTX 660ti. You should at least be getting 100 FPS, it not closer to 120. 

[Faceman]

No sense in upgrading, the difference would be minimal.  Wait for Maxwell to come out.  I am really surprised that you are unhappy with your current setup.

[AMD Lover]

Youll need dual 780's. I USED to get around 95 fps with my 780 then i decided i was happy with a lower framerate and cranked image scaling up to 140%

[Visionnn]

With my single r9 290 I get 100 ~ 120fps with Mantle.

[Sharp_3yE]

Your set up now is just fine. Though, if you really want something new you could get a r9 290 or r9 290x so you can use mantle on BF4. If you really want Nvidia then no lower then a gtx 780 if you want better performance then what you already have. Your set up is good though and to me seems a waist of money.

honestly i thing theirs something wrong with my cpu causing frame dips. its usually around 95% and its a 3570k.

is this normal or is something wrong?

[Vrbas]

Normal if it is at stock clock. You will need to over clock it if you haven't. Bf4 uses a lot of cpu power.

[slayeofool123]

i would just stick with the 660ti sli. they are pretty beast though

so thats normal? with a 3570k

[Vrbas]

Yes it's normal for a 3570k to be at 9x% load on bf4. What are your gpu loads at

i use vsync so around 80 to 90%

[Faa]

Two 660ti's in SLI should provide 120 fps in battlefield 4 with ultra settings. Have you tried monitoring your gpu loads with playclaw 5? If they won't reach close to 90% you should raise your OC up

bf4 is heavy on cpu, but yours is ok. Go for a 780. A 770 is more then enough tho

[Vrbas]

what is your fps without Vsync? And if you use vsync why do you want 120fps the monitors in your sig are not 120hz correct? 

 

Edit* Searched some videos and benchmarks. So far I've only seen 680s SLI/770 SLI or Single 780ti will reach 120 fps in bf4 at Ultra preset. Its just up to you if it's worth the upgrade.

I have 2 - 660ti cards as well.  Love them, but also decided to get another system with a single 780ti.  I LOVE IT!  If you can afford it.  I also have a 144Hz monitor which I HIGHLY recommend in tandum with the 780ti.

[Totally-A-Hero]

Prefers Nvida but wants to play BF4 mainly?How about a AMD card? A gigabyte R9 290 is $379 on amazon,$100 cheaper than the cheapest 780 and performs slightly better in BF4

[BeyondSmash]

In BF4 in console type "perfoverlay.drawgraph" and you'll see with what is the bottleneck. Yellow line=CPU, Green Line=GPU (It tells you this). Whatever is the higher line is the bottlenecking component.

2 660ti's in SLI perform as good as a 780 or even better. I wouldn't look at youtube video's which are mostly outdated or theyre CPU limited so avoid them.

BF4 received a lot of gpu performance boosts 

So no the OP shouldn't upgrade the GPU at all

I agree he shouldn't. Just OC the CPU more
