That&#8217;s 4 GPUs and a massive 12GB of GDDR5 graphics RAM.<\/p>\n<p>The demo was rendered internally at 3K resolution (around 3200 x 2000 pixels), which was downscaled to 1080p at 60 frames per second.<\/p>\n<p>The demo was said to be an \u201cunoptimised alpha version\u201d of the game, which is also why DICE went with such a powerful PC to play it.<\/p>\n<p>AMD and Nvidia are also currently working alongside DICE to release special drivers for Battlefield 4.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U8HVQXkeU8U\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h6>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/bf4central.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">BF4 Central\u00a0<\/a><\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More Battlefield 4 news:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/52305-battlefield-4-sa-pricing-revealed.html\">Battlefield 4 SA pricing revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/52299-battlefield-4-pre-order-pricing-revealed.html\">Battlefield 4 pre-order pricing revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/52296-battlefield-4-revealed-gameplay-video-showcased.html\">Battlefield 4 revealed, gameplay video showcased<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What powered the BF4 demo?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":52729,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[5693,8600,709,175,813,21,6204],"class_list":["post-52728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","tag-battlefield-4","tag-bf4","tag-dice","tag-ea","tag-electronic-arts","tag-headline","tag-karl-magnus-troedsson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52728"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52730,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52728\/revisions\/52730"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
