Playing BF4 64 players so hard to get stable 120FPS from LOW to HIGH, the GPU usage is damn unstable. I tried going 130% resolution scale and set almost everything on low except texture quality/filtering, mesh and terrain quality and still struggle with GPU usage hitting only 30% at some point with FPS at only 70-80. The CPU wasnt stressed at all, sitting only at 60% on all cores except higher usage about 80% at CPU 2 (Hyperthreaded) with temperatures at below 75c. Crysis 3 / BF4 SP works fine. Running on 13.12 Drivers and cores have been unparked. Like this already doubt about buying 2nd R9 290 liao since GPU usage so damn unstable even for single GPU. CPU and GPU OC all stable and stress teseted (GPU through 10 hours of Unigine Heaven and CPU through 12 hours of Prime95. Issue still occurs with all stock clocks for CPU and GPU.

Help anyone?

Wait for 14.4 driver or try the leaked 14.4 and then enable Mantle? I know if fixed few issues 290s user having with previous 14.x beta.

Dunno leh, last time use 14.3 core clock fluctuate like hell when OCed, although Mantle's GPU usage seems to be more stable at 98-99% last time if I remember

Try other driver(latest Mantle driver) and make sure that u are running game 64 bits.

Main question is that are u on Win 7?If yes than that is the problem.

Windows 8.1 Pro...

Anyway for the Unigine Heaven benchmark...later only post on the forum, a bit embarrassing performance haha

Either BF4's DX11 got fark up for AMD gpus to promote mantle or BF4 is buggy as hell (as always)

for me no.
1. your resolution is 1080p only. an OC 290 will be sufficient.
2. drop down MSAA to get higher FPS.
3. unless you got extra $$ don't mind to go. but CF290 for 1080p is very wasteful. rather get dell u2713hm or above than the extra gpu.
4. yes, CF now as you get 1440p monitor or above whistling.gif

I wan Overkill specs for future 2560x1440 or BF4 at least 120FPS above at higher settings (u know me lah, I care about FPS alot in BF), thats why aiming for dual R9 290 as the 780 Ti is so bloody expensive that if I choose that, it would cost about RM1k (2k more if I go SLI), not worth it lah. I am running on default HIGH settings liao, and the GPU usage is randomly going from 70-80+ sometimes 90% only without hitting at least 100FPS.

Do you think can hit 120fps at 1440p with xfire 290?
Im building my pc soon so wonder if i should go single 1440p or eyefinity 1080p..

Depending on your settings...probably medium - high

Bf4 I got stuck at like between 120-130 fps max lol, even at low settings wtf. Oh and I think my pc is not using the 8gb ram, only using pagefile. I disabled pagefile and try to run crysis 3 and crash immediately lol

Well...I doesn't have any BSOD, gotta be OS inside setting. Battlefield 4 doesn't use up the 8GB ram, only 4GB, and the filepage usage kept increasing to 13GB even in single player...I have totally no idea how to fix this

Something is wrong with your system/window mang, i get similar fps at low setting on 64 player server with Mantle and i can play Crysis 3 just fine with 8GB+pagefile disabled. Did you check if your proc clocked properly when gaming? did it throttled down? Or "something" is running on background and sucking up all those processor juice.

You can use RAMMap to check which file got cached by windoze.
*
Processor is fine at 50-60% usage stock I believe in MP 64p, clocked and stock no difference. Later go reach home will check the ram

My CPU utilization is much more smoother compare to yours. hmm.gif

Hainan Resort | 55+ players | High preset | Mantle | HD7950@1050/1500 | Average FPS around 90

Did you try playing at stock clock for both CPU and GPU?
*
All stock bro...Im starting to wonder is it Windows update problem

Tried switching RAM sticks with my brother just now, on my PC with both RAM sticks playing with paging fail off will cause Bf4 to "run out of memory".

EDIT: One thing I noticed when playing Crysis 3. When playing with paging file disabled, in the task manager in the "Committed" it shows 7.6/7.9...surely something is leaking, and BF4 will surely be a lot higher lol...

No one told me...Running dual graphic cards also almost doubles your RAM usage lol...I format my PC for nothing lol... cry.gif

It doesnt.
Since when it does

Gaming works like this afaik

HDD to RAM to GPU MEM to GPU CORE

CPU does the work to the transfers between the HDD to RAM to GPU. Previously CPU does all the software DirectX thingy and Mantle/Directx 12 negates that.
2nd GPU Access 1st GPU Mem Via SLi/Crossfire bridge on the new R series via PCIE express to the other card.

Sli/crossfire uses one card GPU MEM. so why would it increase???
*
Well, when I removed one card, games use up around 3GB pagefile. Using crossfire increased the pagefile to something around 5.8-6+ GB...

Pagefile is set by windows dude aka virtual mem.
and its based on ure Available RAM. Not GPU.

Thought in this day and age with SSD and ppl having a lot of ram .. most people disable pagefile.
*
well...that was according to MSI Afterburner anyway. Running Prime95 now in Blend mode, funny that it states that it will test a lot of RAM, but only use like 3.0GB of my physical RAM

Change to custom and edit the amount to be full. Check ure taskbar to see how much available.
make sure its the latest prime95 with AVX 2 support.

Normal? Seems like my SSD likes to go updownupdown
