It actually looks better haha.

Shadowplays saves it as .mp4 but the file size was 2.1GB so I formatted it to .mp4 but a lower quality and it dropped to 700MB.

Thats real nice,how much of a performance hit does it make?

Edit:how do you counter knife?,do you just wait for the counter knife icon to appear?

After posting that, mine also started crashing but then I noticed it was because the queuing system was messed up.

Last night it seemed to run far better. Played two full rounds without it crashing, and actually quit myself for once.

Zero performance hit. Fraps has already been uninstalled from my machine. Shadowplay is incredible. Battlefield 4 on ultra with 0xAA at 1080p with Shadowplay ultra settings. I don't see any frame drops at all.

The next video I film, I'll upload the raw footage so you can see how good it really is.

And for counter knifing, hit 'F' when it pops up on your screen. You cannot counter knife if the guy knifes you from behind though.

No problem bud.

So how are you guys' levels? Favourite maps, guns and game modes?

I love Flood Zone and Zavod 311. Favourite class is Assault with the AEK-971. LOVE the Little Bird with the 25mm cannons. Currently level 25.
 
Game crashes too many times,it should be fixed in the first patch since these crashes didn't happen in Beta.

Still lvl12 because of all the crashes and loosing progress.Floodzone is also my fav,love blowing the wall up so the map can flood faster.
Will stick to the Scar-H and wait for the AN94 in a future dlc,Ace seems to be the new M16A3 but it does luckily have a few bad stats.

Has anyone tried setting up Battlemap on a second monitor?,it seems to give quite a nice advantage.

Yeah I got a secondary screen and ran the map. It does offer a nice advantage but I'm so used to glancing at my minimap instead of looking at a seperate screen.

Anyone tried commander mode? It's a love/hate thing for me. It's awesome when squad leaders request scans/orders/ammo drops etc but it can be extremely tedious when no one follows orders or requests anything.
 
Tried,i noticed some squads would be full of snipers so it's kinda useless to send them to a point (they aren't gonna move anyway)

Some people also don't look at their minimap,i was commander on that prison map and our team was holding the middle point.I was dropping the UAV constantly and i noticed a huge force coming from one of the side flanks but only 1 or 2 guys went to intercept.

Best thing is dropping a crate on an enemy AA camping a spot and watching the crate move around on the map,dropping a crate or quad on an enemy sniper is also funny.

the Scar-H is so overlooked! Its actually a very good gun, lots of DMG. I think the 25 round mag puts most players off, it does require more accuracy from a user point of view, but its very rewarding.

another gun is def the m416, the m16a4 sadly isnt as good, burst fire...

what im really liking is that the support class have ACURATE guns now, i played lots of engi and medic but i think that support is going to become my fav class. XM25 = no more snipers

ALSO, myself and Sky are very happy about a wire guided anti tank launcher back in the game. I had hours of practice in BC2 with that AT4 and its back as the SRAW now. When i unlocked it and tried to shoot a heli for the 1st time, i hit it (one hit kill), this is a good omen :D

HOWEVER, there are some netcode issues...

yesterday i shot a heli down with the SRAW..the thing is, i launched and missed another heli almost a 1 minute ago, then all of a sudden a little bird dies and gets credited to me, it literally exploded in front of me....but i didnt shoot my SRAW at it?

another example: in the heli, i hear a lockon, incoming missile then i flare, too late im hit....theres clearly some sort of delay...
 
Dude were you the commander on that shanghai map on domination? It was kak funny when the commander put the supply box ontop of the bomb.

Are you referring to me?

If so,nope.

I noticed the supply box makes for some nice instant cover if you drop it near a wall on a point that has very little cover.
I'm not sure if it was on the SS server but i killed someone on a jetski that had the bomb and it teleported to a nearby mountain out of bounds.Lost connection to server afterwards.
 
Command for me then.i usally have 5 guys in my squad and they twnd to listen to orders.i dont get why they dont listen to thw commander, you ger extra points for obeying orders

Ah ok dam but that was entertaining, it was like a rugby game with the scrum.

Btw for anyone who thinks it teleports, however it is exactly where you killed the bomb carrier.

I tried a bit of BF4 on the xbox last night, very awesome, but it takes some getting used to the new controls, and I had to reconfigure the chopper controls to how they were in BF3 because I kept crashing otherwise.
 
Hey guys,

I hate posting this (because these questions are annoying) but I really can't find a resource on the net that answers my question properly. Will my game performance be reasonable on two GTX 580s in SLi? 2 years ago I wouldn't have asked such a question, but it seems like my poor 580s are really getting old nowadays. I also game at 2560x1440 res, and even though I don't need to use AA due to my high resolution, it's still something I need to take into account. I don't want to buy a game that I can't play due to poor performance.
