My friends got a AMD cpu/mobo setup with a gtx 760 and he runs BF4 on high settings 70-90fps at 1080p, both consoles are only running 720p 60fps in BF4. They can't handle higher resolutions with the frostbite 3 engine without compromising graphic quality. That engine is being used in almost every upcoming EA title now.
My suggestion for EA is to work harder in the future. PS4 is running Killzone 4 at 1080p native and 60fps. The consoles these days can and will handle it. The rush job ports EA and Activision are putting out arent going to be an acurate representation of the years to come.
Yeah but Killzone is different, it was developed solely for the PS4. When it comes to multiplatform titles it gets hard to optimize three different versions of the game. It shouldn't be that way since the architecture is so similar now, but developers have said and shown in videos (even during microsfot/sony presentations) the majority of upcoming titles are being developed on PC first, then ported to consoles more so than ever now because of that.
@south carmain
the 760 is only 249
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130932, you can get a combo on the 8350 w/mobo for 299 so that's 550. I was assuming you already an old PC and were building a new one. case is whatever you want to spend, heres a psu for 35 bucks after rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817207013 ram for $55
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820148540 that's 640 plus a case and youll have a great PC. The case, psu and ram can be used again in your next build. Unless they somehow come out with super RAM in the next 5 years lol. I'm using the case, PSU and RAM from a build I did 4 years ago.
"And due to developers having to work with one single piece of dedicated hardware means a console can go a lot further than it's specs would on PC so more powerful doesn't mean much in this case"
Yes that's true for exclusives, which is why I play consoles for exclusives (and JRPG's lol). But a PC will always pull ahead in multi-platform releases since they are not developed for any single platform. I will be getting a PS4 in the future no doubt about that, I don't want anyone to take what I'm saying as bashing either new console. I'm just stating how I see it as a gamer and tech enthusiast.
