can a gigabyte g1 gaming GTX 970 play bf4 at 4k?

Not even a Titan X can play it at 4K 60fps...

jaystwosent got a titan x to play bf4 at 80 fps at 4k with a titan X

Likely at medium settings, and you will have to watch the vram usage, as 4k can easily gobble up 4gb of vram

[DIV1D3]

It can certainly play BF4 at 4K, but settings will need to be lowered to at least medium to reach 60 fps. 

You'll probably only see about 30 fps with it on Ultra, and the VRAM would come dangerously close to that ever-so dreaded 3.5GB mark.

More like 60-70 fps. There were 80 fps spikes, but 60 fps was more common.

And no, the GTX 970 will not be able to play BF4 smoothly at 4K. 1440p is far more appropriate for this card.

not if you try to run it at 16x msaa or something like that, but at reasonably high settings, it manages good framerates (likely close to, or above 60)

How?

Nope, and Nope.

 

The 970 can only use 3.5gb of it's vram, and at 4k that is a death sentence, since even at 1440p it will hit that mark easily at medium-high quality. 

The Titan X can manage by at the medium preset with 60fps and no AA. So the 970, it can limp along at low perhaps.

Lol what? I have a 3gb card and play at 1440p, and without stupid amounts of aa vram usage isnt anywhere near 3gb.

 

I may be mistaken, but I'll start it up right not to check it out

Nope not even 2 of them maybe all low.

How?

 

You don't HAVE to play at maximum settings.

[1Scotty1]

You don't HAVE to play at maximum settings.

Just stating that a Titan X has issues at max settings, so a 970 will definitely have problems but yeah, not everyone needs max settings

 

But you would think a Titan X could push them, given the price tag, VRAM and other stuff, but it is like a regular 980, bad price to performance ratio 980Ti is a far better option, that is why I got it a few days back

This^ it seems there are only a few sensible people left in the world who realize games DON'T need 6gb just to go beyond 1080p. 

[MrFancypants04]

Yes, it can play it. At 4K I get 40 fps on my overclocked 280X. My settings are all ultra with no AA. My memory maxes at around 2.88ghz.

My system is the exact same story, well, except for having 3.5GB of VRAM.

[Badger906]

why is everyone so dumb on forums... "it won't play bf4 at 4k" ... erm... yeah it will... a 750ti will play bf4 at 4k.. OP never stated at what quality setting.. why does everyone assume that ultra is the only setting for pc games...

 

i currently have a gtx 770 (well i actually have a 980ti but i have to fit it later lol) and it plays bf4 at medium high settings and i get around 40fps at 4k.. 

 

having a 4k monitor and anything other than sli titans or 980ti is just a game of compromise. for a start you dont need AA at 4k, that easily frees up 10-15% gpu power, then you can lower things like shadows, that have almost no visual impact, on games like bf4 mesh quality is another setting that doesnt have a vast impact on visuals ect. Its just about finding the sweet spot... 

 

dont listen to people who say it won't play as its patiently obvious they dont own a 4k display so have no real basis to answer said questions regarding 4k..

i have a 2gb card in my rig currently and a 4k monitor.. go figure.. and titan x at medium.. i can easily play at medium with a gtx 770 at 4k.. go do some homework before commenting next time
