Check if this configuration supports running BF4 and recent titles at 60 FPS with medium settings. Suggest improvements if needed! Build details: Intel Core i3-4150, MSI H81M-E33, Kingston RAM, Seagate 1TB HDD, Asus GTX 750 Ti, Thermaltake case, EVGA power supply, Windows 10 Home, and more.
I'm not sure how much the CPU variation affects performance (my i5-4690k isn't overclocked). However, my 750 Ti gets solid 60fps at 1680x1050 on the GeForce Experience Optimized mode, though it sometimes drops. The settings seem to balance well, but I can confirm it won't run smoothly in Ultra at full frame rate.
Uncertain. Probably around 1080 max, especially with the i3 model.
I'm using an i7-3770 and a 2GB GTX 660. Running BF4 at 1080p causes frame rate drops and makes it tough to maintain a stable minimum frame rate. I’m having to lower the settings to High... Is your PC okay? You might try Med or High at 1080p. For Ultra, you’d need to cut the resolution down to around 720p.
The i3 performs well beyond expectations. It handles multiple threads smoothly, supports top cards without issues, and even runs my R9 290 fine. For those wanting the best, it maintains high performance at 1080p with 50-60 frames per second. I previously had a 750 Ti and got that setup in Battlefield 4. If you need maximum settings, it will drop to about 40-45 FPS.
I concur with Humbug. Unless you're securing the 750 Ti at an extremely low cost, I recommend opting for a R9 280/380.
