Battlefield 4 Beta Increase Fps

**CHRiiZ** · 10-05-2013

Hi, i wanted to make a tut for people having performance issues.
My Pc :
Amd fx4100 3.60ghz
Nvidia GTX 560
8Gb ram

So lets start,
1. Method
If you having perfomance issues with bf4 on windows 7 low fps, fps drop etc. , you need to install Windows 8.1, it will give you alot more performance, you will also make sure you have updated the graphics card drivers to the newest. If you feel like you want more fps you will also need to use a user.cfg and set textures on low.

2. Method
(Only for Windows 7 users)
If you dont feel like to dual-boot and have a nvidia graphics card i can recommend to install driver 320.49, it will give you more performance and less drops than with the new driver. If you want more fps and dont look after graphics you will also have to set down the texturs ect.

When i use windows 7 i have like 20 - 30 fps and thats very shitty.
But after looking in net, I installed windows 8.1 for duall-booting, re-installed bf4 and now i play 50 - 60 fps perm nearly no more drops on mid to high.

Windows 8.1 key : NTTX3-RV7VB-T7X7F-WQYYY-9Y92F
Sry for my bad english

User.cfg:

RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0
RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1Enable 0
RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1RuntimeEnable 0
perfoverlay.drawfps 1
worldrender.motionblurenable 0
worldrender.spotlightshadowmapresolution 256
worldrender.spotlightshadowmapenable 0
worldrender.lighttilecspathenable 0
renderdevice.forcerenderaheadlimit 1
gametime.maxvariablefps 35
renderdevice.triplebufferingenable 0
renderDevice.vsyncenable 0

Save the user.cfg in the Bf4 Folder were the .exe is located

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 Beta
Info : gametime.maxvariablefps "35" Max fps you will get, you can set it higher if you want, i recommend to test out if thats fine how it is now.

Have fun

Edit: Cant post links, sry

I do more like windows 7 but Battlefield 4 just run better on 8, not like a bit better, MUCH BETTER ^^

Edit : Btw after game update or game release i think it will run on both os like the same

BUT for now, 8 wins

put gametime.maxvariablefps 200 instead 35 and you got more then 35 fps

Yeah the 320.49 Nvidia update helped me out!
Thanks

Some ppl even dont get over 50 fps so why set it on 200 then ?
Some players getting like 50 fps and set it on 35, its more stable because the fps are allways the same not not going from 50 to 30 and back to 50, so its more flawless

on windows 8 the drivers work fine, but on windows 7 there are just crap.
