Benchmark is telling us something...

Yeah I'm with this too. I know you're just talking about CPU's here but I think with everyone that found out they needed to upgrade wouldn't need just a new a new CPU. They would need a graphics card, in which a decent one would run you about 200-400 dollars. If the machines are REALLY old, then they might need to get a new motherboard, new ram, etc. I spent about 1500 dollars building the computer I have right now and that was a little under 3 years ago. If it got to that point, I'd personally recommend just getting a PS4 if you don't care playing the game with high end hardware.

I've spent around 1800 on my pc and don't even use it for 14, since the only thing I've really noticed is it helps load times, graphically the game is pretty standard across the board since they don't have any hi res packs for the game. I have a pspro and it runs 14 just as well, and I would say is likely the better choice to run the game on.

Honestly I don't really see the need to use high end graphics on my pc either, it's great for show, but I started out on Quake, running the game low on graphics, forcing everyone to be blue or green in my settings so they pop out in the arena, made the game great. I'll even do that in Battlefield, think hiding in that dark corner is giving you an advantage? Let me tinker with my settings and that corner isn't so dark anymore lol.
