Battlefield 4 Alpha Specs
You’re going to need a beast of a machine if you want to run Battlefield 4 at its highest settings and at 60FPS. Although it scales down quite nicely (allowing decent cards to run it around the 30FPS mark), working towards the best possible Battlefield experience might take a graphics card upgrade.
It’s important to remember that these are the beta specs, so there’s every reason to think that things might improve as development continues. These are by no means final numbers.
GameGPU have a number of different charts over at their website, mostly that show options that will have your system working a little harder.
This definitely isn’t one that you’ll want to be running on your 5770, anyway.
So where do the next-gen consoles weigh in on all this? It’s fair to presume that they’ll end up about the middle point, so a minimum framerate of just over 20FPS> However, since the consoles are a closed system, it’s likely that it’ll be slightly better optimized and that they’ll easily be able to make it to 30FPS. This is good news for people that have similar specs in their PC.
