BF4 Beta frame rates

I'm fully aware that i was playing a beta in the first minute it was launched so i was definitley expecting some hiccups. 

Lots of people, including myself who i was talking to ingame are complaining that the game runs like absolute ****. I was able to smoothly run BF3 on ultra. But several people had bumped down their game to medium-low settings just because the frames are awful. I also saw alot of glitches with debris. Several times i walked by a destroyed structre with random pieces of rubble floating in the air. 

Again we're in the baby stages of a beta so hopefully lots of this will be ironed out, especially the frames, anyone else getting awful frames when they shouldn't?

beta drivers fixed the choppiness. Im pretty sure im sitting pretty at 60fps but I haven't got afterburner to work with it yet

Aside from some slight stutters on certain areas of the map, I get the usual 60 fps the same in BF3 with everything set to max.

Running on Ultra, no supersampling, but everything else maxed I get anywhere from 20-70 FPS. Putting the visuals on medium and that doesnt change much. I'm suspected either an extremely, extremely CPU intensive game or Beta is very very much a Beta and will run like shit for the duration. Also, lots of netcode issues like running in place/rubber banding. Hope performance sees a huge increase because the Visuals are a zero upgrade from BF3 even on ultra, dont care what anyone else says! Destruction is better ,however.

I'm still  on calsses for today on campus, but when I get home I'll try my desktop.

So far:

Laptop performance:

30-50fps on high

GT 650M 2gb

8gb ram

i7 3610 3.3ghz

Win7 64

So the highest VRAM I seen on my MSI Afterburner is now 2156MB so far.

As for performance, it's all over the place.

Getting 0-20fps on all low(or any setting tbh)

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz
8GB RAM
GTX570 
Win7 64 

The beta build is probably a few weeks behind their current build. I wouldn't worry about it.

My performance isn't THAT bad. I get about 60 most times with the occasional huge drop but for the most part it's smooth

Sounds like a CPU issue which is probably related to the drivers.

Maybe, the game is stuttery as all hell on the new Nvidia drivers. I even bumped things down to high/medium and it's there

I have a 680 and it's stuttering for me. I only have 6GB of ram and it's already consuming 95% of it.

Hate to sound like a noob but how are you guys accessing the graphics settings? in BF3 you had to go through the menus in campaign mode. Are you using global settings on the Nivida control panel?

setting BF4.exe to high priority did wonders for me, was 20-50 fps before, now im at 50-90 fps with slight stutters. mostly just netcode lag.

yes, going to install beta drivers and see if I get an improvementdarksusperia

definitely improeved, but far from fixed.  I have a GTX 670 FTW and while I ran BF3 very well, I struggle severely with BF4 right now.

I hope thats something they work on fixing. BF3 was full of hackers, just everywhere.

they've been testing another anti cheat to go alongside punkbuster, also there is a spectate mode which should help catch hackers

to be honest, the spectate mode, with first person spectate (?), will help a lot proving people are cheating.  It was pretty hard to prove in BF3 unless they were being ridiculously obvious (knifing from spawn, one shotting cross map, or really obvious aim snapping)

The 320.49 Nvidia drivers work a treat for this game. Stuttering is gone now

It won't really, have you seen footage from it? It's not what I'd call perfectly synced. So what could look like cheating might just be lag

[QUOTE="lostrib"]

[QUOTE="Elann2008"] It would be cool if they just got rid of punkbuster, use their own anti-cheat.. and go from there. But we'll see.. this may or may not be a good thing. Thanks for the news.seanmcloughlin

it will make it easier than it is now

Does the beta stats save over to release?MBirdy88

Ugly looking game at the moment i assume most assets are not in?MBirdy88

just did 4 rounds on my 7970 with the 13.10 drivers....amazing framerates, no stutering....amazing experience

I like the concept and mechanics, but my God is it laggy and does it perform terribly.

I've run into some weird bugs, including one where as I walked forward, I seemed to walk up an invisible staircase until I was standing in the air next to a building top. Lag is causing a lot of frustration for me, including incidents where the hit detection seems nonexistent sometimes or my parachute fails to deploy, and even on medium the game runs like crap when I was able to run BF3 on the highest settings easily.

Oh snap, I just hit 2.3GB VRAM.

Also I'm not liking the performance, too many 20s-30s ruin it.

It's my B-day today so I may treat myself to an upgrade just before BF4 arrives :D

Nvidia owners.. use 320.49.. so much better. Credit to Wasdie and Jacksepticeye for the heads upElann2008

Huge difference right? It's actually bloody playable now

320.49 is an older driver from a few weeks back. Newer drivers suck balls and cause constant stuttering on my 670. It's basically unplayable with the new beta drivers

very smooth experience for me so far, settings on ultra, seems to be a solid 60fps
