BF4 and overclocked gpu?
it seems some players dislike overclocked graphics cards in Battlefield 4. You're mostly stable in other games except for BF4, and even after crashes you keep getting frustrated until you reset your system. Your specs are listed in SIG with GPU adjustments.
BF4 demands high graphics power and can ruin cards due to its lack of optimization, often leading to poor performance against strong hands. It's essential to verify your card's stability before playing in BF4, or else the game may highlight its weaknesses.
It looks like you're evaluating performance and optimization. The stats suggest it's well-optimized for high frame rates, though you're questioning whether your setup is ideal. Benchmarks help test GPU performance, and BF4 performs solidly in that regard. You mentioned issues with stock BIOS and BF4, so checking those settings might help.
Because of the high pressure, it feels more intense compared to other titles.
Yea, I have the same issue. SLI GTX 770s rock solid at about +100Mhz in every other game both pitch a fit and give me that DXGI device hung error if I overclock by even 5Mhz in BF4. Not that you really need an overclock with SLI'd 770s, neither card gets over about 80% usage even with resolution scale set at 130%. At 100% res scale they barely hit 50% each. 100-144fps on a mix of ultra, high & low. Seems to be a bit harder on OC'd CPUs too. Never had a single WHEA warning with 3770k @ 4.5GHz @ 1.18V in normal usage or stress testing but started getting them with BF4. Had to bump voltage up to 1.2V to get the warnings to stop.
I'm still getting the hang of it. Without specific benchmarks or a clear reference point, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what levels are considered low, average, high, or extreme. For graphics cards, a higher clock speed usually means better performance, but memory speeds also play a big role in overall frame rates.
I needed to slow down my ASUS 770 DCUII OC since it caused a DirectX error device hang.
