Battlefield 4

One of the older games in our benchmark suite, DICE’s Battlefield 4 remains a staple of MP gaming. Even at its age, Battlefield 4 remained a challenging game in its own right, as very few mass market MP shooters push the envelope on graphics quality right now. As these benchmarks are from single player mode, based on our experiences our rule of thumb here is that multiplayer framerates will dip to half our single player framerates, which means a card needs to be able to average at least 60fps if it’s to be able to hold up in multiplayer.

Battlefield 4 - 3840x2160 - Ultra Quality (0x MSAA)

Battlefield 4 - 2560x1440 - Ultra Quality

When we designed this test suite last year, we opted to go without MSAA at 4K given its very high cost on the Frostbite engine. However with the GTX 1080 Ti, the card is fast enough that it is still going to hit smooth 60fps framerates even with MSAA. With a 33% performance lead over the GTX 1080 and a 74% performance lead over the GTX 980 Ti, you can in fact finally have it all with Battlefield 4, even at 4K.

    I upgraded from a
    Asus 1080GTX 8oc and it made a huge difference for me.

    OW was 110 fps now running about 155

    Ok is it me but why are all the games old AF? AND why is the 800-pound gorilla named BF1 missing from just about every review?

    Quick search pulls up many BF1 benchmarks for the 1080 Ti...

    Thanks Ryan, nice review.
    Still missing info/specs on Audio (inc. supported sampling rates), which, I suspect, you still not have at hand.
    I have asked about this in the past.

    Does the 1080 Ti have dual DMA channels as the Titan X does?

    Nvidia is so gay. I don't understand why people complain that intel's chips slowly optimize over the years. You seriously want your hardware to depreciate 50% every year?

    That's one way to look at it! But lose the homophobia.

    Hi,
    After going through the well written review, I think: wouldn't it be nice if AIB partners (atleast one of them) released a blower type card with 3 slots, so that it could include a heftier heatsink, yet exhaust heat out? That way I could consider putting it in a congested chassis and not worrying about thermal throttling. PS: here in India, my zotac gtx 1060 mini reaches 78° c even in open air!

    GP106-GP102 have the same 4x int8 performance according to this article:

    I have a GTX 1080Ti and to date, I've been using FSX which apparently devotes more use to the CPU than the GPU. I've just loaded P3D - and it really does look super smooth. The temp maxed out around 85 degs - and my monitoring software was having kittens showing me temps in the RED zone.

    Can thus GPU continue to run at this temp indefinitely? For unlimited hours?

    Is it going to damage the card in the long run?

    I'd appreciate your kind advice.
