As we're still working on our full Battlefield 4 performance analysis, we quickly took the opportunity to benchmark the game on the relevant AMD and Nvidia cards that we still had samples of. We'll be adding new data to these charts for all current generation cards soon in our in-depth performance analysis of the game.
We chose to run the game at its 'high' preset, as the 'ultra' one with 4x AA is too demanding for these cards.
We run a 60 second benchmark on the game's sixth campaign level, Tashgar, during the on rails section at the level's start. We begin the recording as soon as the subtitle for the first line of dialogue appears on screen. Please note that we may use an alternative benchmark in our full performance analysis, but the excellent repeatability and highly demanding nature of this section of the game makes it suitable for our purposes here.
