4k issues

[Amiantos]

This is your opinion. Other's play the game at 20-30 fps just fine.

30 is playable. Anything sub 30 they play it but I can almost guarantee they don't like it as the game chops and starts to look like a slide show.

Things my look smooth but textures will look really washed and poor.

meh,

a single 980 can't run this game at its best at 4k anyway, it simply doesn't have the raw pixel output for it.

You're totally welcome to enjoy 20fps constantly though.

I play on high settings (not max) 60 fps in all areas. Just needed to turn of loading things behind walls. So yea, not playing at 2p fps but thanks for your input.

4k with a single card? Yeah right.

I get 30fps on maximum settings in cities and 60fps+ in dungeons with 4k on a laptop with a single card.

Don't doubt it, I'm getting 60fps roughly everywhere with DSR 4k on a single overclocked GTX 970.
Which has to work quite a bit harder than native 4k
So I'd imagine a native resolution 4k would have no problems with it. (my 4k screen will be here in a few days)

Remember to turn on the Occlussion culling.
Turn off FXAA absolutly, you totally don't need that at 4k.
(2 other options that you can mess with which hit the FPS hard but don't impact the looks very much are HDR, and Screen Space ambient Occlusion. sometimes changing transparent lighting can give a nice boost in fps also)


I'd be expecting better performance come DX11.

It's easy to tell who in this thread hasn't actually tried to play this game in 4K, either on a 4K display or using Nvidia DSR.

4K and 60fps can be achieved in many games available today with reduced settings. If you completely max all the settings out many games are still in the 30fps playable range, but for a shooter like Battlefield 4 you will prefer lower settings to ensure 60fps. For something where the optimal frame rate isn't as important like an MMO, it's acceptable to run at max or near max at 30fps. I doesn't bother me to play FFXIV or Tera at 30fps, sure 60fps is nice but I'm not trying to headshot the mobs or anything.

if you have to reduce the settings, its not worth it.

if you think it is, time to go get those eyes tested, coz honey, you ain't 20/20.

Just so you know 4k screen res is only an option to people that can run it. Anything lower is a reduced setting for people that use a higher res monitor. So we can reduce a few settings that literally are obsolete because of such high res and keep the amazing res we currently have. So that just kinda backfired on you. Anyway I like how I post on this forum to get answers and try to get help and I get some truly good people saying they need help and are looking for dev attention and then I get the people that are like "Oh I don't have that so I must argue against any quality of life improvement if it doesn't affect me" or " I don't have that high tech stuff so I have to try to argue that his/hers is worse than mine because why not." It's sad. ESPECIALLY when the people arguing just think they know so much and still have yet to see the game in higher res, 4k especially. Don't act like you know more than the people that have the hardware and are dealing with it right now. I really wish I could delete peoples comments that don't contribute ANYTHING to my forum topic. -.-

First time I tried using 4K (well... 3200*1800 to be exact) I thought "where the hell'd my HUD go?!" xD
