What GPU for BF4?

[ViruZ_HUN]

What GPU shoud i get for Battlefield 4.

 

I am living in sweden and i want to card to be under 650 euro!

[felixbearpig]

wait till BF4 comes out because amd might have cards out by then,and then you will have a better comparison

780

[BlackOutCrisis]

Anything AMD since it is going to be optimized day one for AMD. I would suggest waiting until the new Radeon 9000 series comes out and grab one of them but if you want to buy the cards now I would suggest two 7950's in Xfire. They have the official drivers to fix the issues they have with Xfire in july and they 7950's are currently the best price/performance card out. The 7950's also just got a price drop also. And if that wasn't enough they come with 3-4 games.

Judging by the videos I've seen so FAR.  

 

I'd say the graphics aren't going to be very much of an increase in comparison to BF4. 

 

So honestly anything above a 660 would be perfectly fine

[Tredien]

Here's to hoping they improve the netcode. 

[Traygor_Icarion]

We can't really say if the "Optimized for AMD" will actually mean anything. 

[RaVenBelgium]

Wait until the game comes out and Linus did some benchmarking on it ;)

[OneGun]

I second the two 7950s..

[ViruZ_HUN]

is one 780 enough?

[RaVenBelgium]

is one 780 enough?

Probably yes

[ViruZ_HUN]

Probably yes

how many FPS do you think it will be? with one 780?

[TechSage]

the game isn't released yet so we don't know know but it will offer you a great gaming experience but a gtx 660 and 660ti will be brought to their knees trying to run bf4

[orangecat]

Anything from nvidia that is a X60 or higher. 

 

example: 560, 660, 760...

[MegaDave91]

Probably yes

Not probably, it WILL be.

All the consoles are amd powered now so amd will probably get more fps just because of that.

I'd wait for the 8000 series, not the 9000 series (Unless you have a crap ton of time to waste). The 7850 or 7870 (I have a 7870, love it) are the best price to performance cards. Both are great overclockers. I read a forum where someone got the 7850 up to like 1900 Mhz (Do not recommend doing this)

Sorry my friend but the 8000 series is already out.

[FluffyNuggets]

The same cards that can run BF3 good. Don't know why people are expecting some demanding game compared to BF3. Personally, it looks worse then BF3. The single player looks better graphically but multiplayer looks terrible. Ooh Aww, the building falls down! Whoop Dee Freaking Doo  :unsure:

The 8000 series cards are just OEM rebranded 7000 series cards. The 9000 series will bring in the new architecture and die shrink. They are rumored to be announced at the end of August so should be launching soon after that.

bf4 looks great for me specially to multiplayer

You can't necessarily say it will be optimized for AMD because Nvidia cards will run just fine on it.  It's not like Dice are just going to leave Nvidia hanging and make the game run terribly... Nvidia will probably have driver updates to make the experience more smooth in a week or so.  Xfiring those cards wouldn't be a good idea... Think about the heat and power output from two cards.  If you're going to buy 2 7950s, might as well buy a 780.  Single better performing cards are better than two worse performing cards in my opinion.  However, waiting for the next gen AMD cards isn't a bad idea since the Never Settle Bundles from them are amazing.

It is going to be day one optimized for AMD technologies, obviously nvidia is going to come out with a proper driver soon after launch. Also two 7950's is like 120$ (they are going to be getting a price drop to around $269.99 but it hasn't happened yet) cheaper than a 780 and comes with a bunch of good games, also has better performance. Obviously any person should know that a xfire/SLI setup isn't as simple as a single card setup (I don't feel the need to tell people that everytime because I feel it is something very obvious).

I recon it would be a gtx 760ish for recommended settings. Remember, they don't want to alienate gamers, they want to sell and let as many people play the game as they can so in my opinion, it's unreleastic that you'll need something like a gtx 780 to run it at decent settings smoothly.

 

Also graphically, from what I've seen so far, BF4 doesn't seem that much of an improvement than BF3.

[SuperPug]

Definitely wait until Battlefield 4 comes out because along with it amd will launch the 9xxx series which possibly will be bundeled with Battlefield 4 anyways as part of amd's new never settle bundle.
