Epic win.

But wtf. You guys should of seen my facial expression when I saw this...

Cpu

Core 2 duo 2.4 8-9 years old

Ram

4x1gb dual channel 667mhz ddr2 9years old

Hdd

Western digital 200gb almost 10 years old

Psu:

Corsair cx430w new

Gpu:

Asus gtx750ti oc 2gb gddr5 dual fans new

Battlefield 4 runs smooth as hell on ultra 1080p with x2 AA. (Sometimes I get random fps drops which last only for a sec or two. (Audio freezes too)

But bf4 runs just fine (excluding this fps drop thing) on a 9 year old rig.

WIN.

[Fate]

Ultra 25fps?

[terrytek]

Wait wait wait hold up, a Core 2 Duo is not 8-9 years old. It's more like 5-6.

[terrytek]

Ultra 25fps?

Hey it beats not able to play Minecraft at 30FPS on low.

[Briggsy]

still better than next gen console /s 

 

 

I only joke, next gen consoles are still using bloated API's to get games out quickly. give them a couple years...

PS3 launch games ran 1080p and got only lower res over its lifetime... PS4 couldn't even manage 1080p at launch i doubt it will get better...

It's kind of cheating... even if the cpu WAS 9 years old (and it's not, not sure where you got that number from  :huh:), the gpu is less than one year old, and came out months after the release of bf4.

That's technically what you would do, upgrade it to a good GPU like this with a CPU from 2009.

[Tenge500]

Yeah I know, I bought 750 TI because of the low power requirement. I was like meh, still better than nx8400gs. But then I saw its performance. It's a little beast living inside this card, I'm being serious now. My jaw dropped. Of course this isn't a high end card but nor is it a low end junk!!! It's a strong upper-mid range card. Only $120 in some countries.

BTW are these fps drops (by fps drop I mean a randomly occuring screen and audio freeze which lasts only for 2 seconds but mostly for 1 second) caused by cpu?

 

It runs at ~ 30 FPS. I'll record it with a camera later to show you guys. This is madness. LOL. 

 

But I would still not play online with these fps drops . I'll upgrade entire pc including motherboard soon.

exactly, nothing out of the ordinary.

Then why call it cheating then? It's perfectly normal.

Here's a video of mine:

I made this video a few months ago when I had that ugly video card NX8400GS!

 

See how it ran...resolution was forced 640x480.

Forced 640x480? If you have a Nvidia card, you can just use the Nvidia Control Panel and create a custom resolution, unless you're screen natively runs something better.

[Tenge500]

By "forced" I meant a resolution which was not listed in game. 1024x768 is the lowest resolution available in BF4. So I edited it manually by altering resolution values in txt file.

because he made it sound like something strange

LOL

[Zweihander]

Hmm, doesn't beat a 512 MB GPU. 

[Kevin_Walter]

BTW are these fps drops (by fps drop I mean a randomly occuring screen and audio freeze which lasts only for 2 seconds but mostly for 1 second) caused by cpu?

 

Most likely. The processor can't keep up with the game, which is causing stuttering.

 

I wouldn't call that "playable".

[ManOfDisguise]

Ultra 25fps?

just enough for that cinematic experience

The one he was talking about came out in 06, so it actually is 8-9
