Techspot does BattleField 4 CPU and GPU Comparison

[Lanek]

Its really hard to test on multiplayer anyway.. its needed to mix the results between reviews: You can choose different maps, location, different settings and the result will be different..

EDIT: Also, notice the graphics quality seems to affect who's the winner. Drawing the above conclusions based on the highest settings they benched at.

EDIT2: Checked, and checked again. See the difference in settings between these two.

sweclockers had r9 290x ahead of GTX 780 by a little bit at 1920x1080 ultra 4x MSAA
pclab.pl had r9 290x a little bit behind gtx 780 at 1920x1080 ultra (no msaa probably, lower slides indicate they'd tell if 4x MSAA is enabled)

Pclab.pl does not have any 2560x1440/1600 results.
sweclockers showed r9 290x beating titan at 2560x1440 ultra 4x msaa

I think both sites are correct.

But in other instances, 290x massively outperforms GTX780, possibly even Titan(can't remember atm), without AA in BF4.

Hope you checked my above edit. I got the habit of jumping the gun, only to re-edit it later after finding out more. Do we question why 1080p + MSAA or 1440p/1440p + MSAA are not benched in pclab.pl? You're right though, need more benches.

oh i didn't see it but my comment was not about what you wrote.. the joke part was but not the serious part . problem is i can't find the logic behind this and curious about it. i can think of 3 possibilities but all seem to have little possibilities. but what Sherlock Holmes said '...when you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'

In single player campaign, not in multiplayer. At least I didn't see it in multiplayer anywhere.

Just follow the link on the previous page ( sweclockers ). ( the problem is "without AA " they too use only the medium setting ).

Someone should compare benches between Win7 and Win8.

Just curious, why would minimum frame rates need to be included? Trying to come up with a reason but just can't at the moment.

If you upgrade the CPU generally speaking minimum framerates go up across the board, max and avg. you don't see the same increase, most of the time the same fps. Bit-tech CPU reviews get it right.
