Battlefield 4: the Digital Foundry verdict

BF4 is mostly CU bounded game and GCN will 12 CUs will not exceed GCN with 16 or 18 CUs.

W5000 (12 CU Pitcairn) is already at around 32 fps at 1080p Crysis 2 max details and if the target frame rate was 60 fps, the resolution has to be reduced i.e. looking at 1280x720p for 60 fps target.

Stunning win for SONY and the PS4. I expect more of the same with other big multi plats.

Yeah that is your argument now..

We all know how you fiercely defended the xbox one,both against me and him to,look at the crap you still bringing,the W500 that is not the GPU on the xbox one for the 100 time,it is bonaire 7790,even on a die shot reveal is been tag as a 14 CU GPU 2 CU reserve,the same with the PS4 is a 7870 with 2CU disable for yields.

The W500 is 32 ROP and doesn't have a 10% GPU reservation,hell is 825mhz if i am not mistaken,the xbox one GPU is 857mhz that would mean over clocked.

Ron your arguments were all wrong the PS4 version is 900p and still keep a solid 10 FPS advantage on the xbox one version which is 720p,if the PS4 version was 720p the difference would be like 20 FPS or more.

Indeed. I would be surprised if any multiplat went the other way.

I wonder - what's going to happen? Will the gap remain marginal, will it widen, or will the gap close - as the gen progresses?

The resolution difference is what I'd expect ps4 to Xbox One either 720p vs 900p or 900p vs 1080p, in real world gaming it really isn't that big of a difference. The frame rate difference is disappointing but this will become less as they get to grips with the more complex setup.

I have an Xbox One for the exclusive games and experience's, if you where choosing just for multiplats and graphics the decision should be PC. There is still no reason to own a PS4 as the exclusives now and in 2014 baring one potentially good retail game are simply pathetic. PC for multiplats and Xbox One for the exclusive experiances and services (not to mention the fitness for the wife and Kinect for the kids).

Congrats on the numbers (fps and pixels) but the PS4 still doesn't do anything best in the next gen arena (PC, PS4, Xbox One and Wii U).

Now come on the FPS is 2-4fps difference more often than it is 10fps. It may have the lead but there is no need to exaggerate it. Solid implies its all the time nearly which it is not.

X1 has problems handling BF4 in 720p haha. Now imagine what will happen with BF5, probably gonna be 640p all over again

Clone friendly game console platform (Steam boxes) might catch MS like Google's Andriod for smart phones i.e. Windows Phone 8 is too late for clone friendly smart phone's leadership.

@timbers_WSU: Dat timbers butthurt hahahaha.

Ahh yes. Another useless post from the resident 2nd grade education product.

Fan boys, i guess the actual gaming experience is still better on X1 according to IGN. The resolution and frame rate may even out in the end but the online performance and qualities the X1 has over ps4 will likely remain.

Good news that Dice have fixed the issues with the Xbone version from the original DF comparison.

The over sharpened, limited RGB, high contrast version of the game that lemmings claimed looked so much better than the PS4 because it "popped" has been fixed, now it's just a lower res, lower frame rate version of the PS4 game.

I expect those guys claiming the Xbone version looked better will be along any minute now to eat some crow.

Any minute now...
