Battlefield 4 Official PC System Requirements Revealed

MP1st - Battlefield 4 developers DICE have laid down the minimum and recommenced system requirements for the PC version of the game releasing this Fall on October 29.

Activemessiah3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

Hmm.. not really as demanding as I thought.. an AMD Radeon 7870 goes for around 140 these days.

barb_wire3873d ago

$140, where? - the 2GB card goes for $190 on newegg but that's after rebates, considering the recommended specs calls for 3GB video memory..

Izzy4083873d ago

Frosbite 3 engine does a lot of the work, therefore, people are not required to purchase top of the line hardware to run BF4. If this wasn't the case, there is no way this game would have been released on current-gen.

MegaMohsi3873d ago

It's weird they recommend a GTX 660 but 3gb of video memory. I know they made a few 660 cards that had 3gb of memory but the standard was 2. Any idea what resolution the recommended specs are for?

ProjectVulcan3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

PC will boss this game don't worry.

It still has to run on current gen consoles, which is why the minimum specs are basically the same as they were for BF3 two years ago.

Beyond that you'll just crank it to wherever your particular machine can handle. If you have a PC from the past 5 years it'll run better than existing consoles and a more modern one will beat up Xbone and PS4 as well.

I would imagine if you have a 7870 or better you'll be getting high settings and GTX670, 7950 or better ultra @ 1080p. We'll see.

awi59513873d ago

3GB ram yeah dont know about that. Remember how pissy BF3 was about ram if you didnt have 2GB it wanted to LAG.

3-4-53873d ago

I have an AMD 7770 and I can run Planetside 2 on Max settings.

I'm assuming I'd be able to run 90-95% max settings for this game as well.

Still want to play this for PS4 more than PC though.

Just having 64 players on console is something I've wanted to play for a long time.

kingduqc3873d ago

7770

"Max settings"

Unless you play in 720p or some absudrly low resolution you don't play in max settings stop lieing.

fooltheman3873d ago

Which console comes the closest to the specs for pc recommended?

Letros3873d ago

I don't think we'll know that until post launch analysis.

fooltheman3873d ago

Just based on what we do know...

I know we can't compare a pc against optimized consoles

Irishguy953873d ago

Ps4 of course. Not quite there though, the CPU is too weak, the Gpu is not high enough either.

HeyImBen113873d ago

You can't compare PC requirements with a optimzied console hardware build.

That's why you can only know something when the consoles are here, its pointless otherwise.

Irishguy953873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

My 8800GTX runs games better than 360/Ps3. 8 years of optimization did **** all. Deal with it HeyIBen, you have no idea what you're talking about. Specs >>> Optimization. Ps4 version is already getting graphical and frame rate complaints btw.

Bolts3873d ago

None of them is even remotely close. If the PS4 is armed with the recommended specs it would be able to run BF 4 at 1080p 60 FPS without breaking a sweat.

ATi_Elite3873d ago

NEITHER!
so stop bringing up "which console is closest to recommended specs" because the consoles are using LAPTOP parts which are WEAKER than the Desktop hardware.

sure the CPu and memory requirements are meant BUT that LAPTOP Hd7850 GPU in the PS4 can ONLY achieve medium/high settings while running BF4 and so far 720p 60fps for MP and NOT 1080p

Frostbite 3 breaking Next Gen consoles even before they release.

bratman3873d ago

while the consoles are definitely using weaker hardware, the "LAPTOP Hd7850 GPU" can only do 864 GFLOPS (less then half of what the ps4 does) the ps4's gpu would be in between a 7950M & 7970M (:

testo63873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

RECOMENDED PC GRAPHICS CARD:
AMD RADEON HD 7870

PS4 EQUIVALENT: RADEON HD 7850

not too much diference...

awi59513873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

Too bad the CPU is the biggest killer in BF multiplayer you can have a really powerful gpu but your cpu can drop your fps badly in BF 64 player matches. When the physics and explosions go off if you have a bad cpu you can watch your FPS go from 80 down to 20 then you get shot in the head when your running at 20 fps.

cannon88003873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

ps4 probably dude, but pc will look and run best.

As soon as development on current gen ceases, the recommended will be the minimum.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot751d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250750d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface750d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop750d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno750d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel751d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps750d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888750d ago (Edited 750d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33750d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888750d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH750d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
