On the Ultra preset, with 4x MSAA thrown in the mix, all current notebook graphics cards struggle. You'll need a genuine high-end GPU for high details and 1366 x 768 pixels the GeForce GT 670M ( X ) is the beginning of the line for rendering the game at those settings. At 1366 x 768 pixels, a GeForce GT 750M manages around 45 fps. The medium settings level requires much more hardware power. While the popular Intel HD Graphics 40 chips ( HD 3000 doesn't work) prove to be essentially unusable, an inexpensive all-rounder model, like the GeForce GT 640M, can render the game fluidly at least at low graphics settings. If you ignore the ultra-preset, the game's hardware hunger remains within reasonable limits. As our screenshots prove, the campaign certainly isn't short of impressive panoramas. Speaking of environments: While some levels - as per usual with ego-shooter games - are built very linearly, in some scenes you get a surprising amount of freedom, which evokes the multi-player feeling. DICE put a lot of effort into saturating the campaign with spirit. In general, the environments are chock-full of detail. Destructible level elements contribute to the chaos, though they also make the atmosphere even more thrilling. If the player's character is blinded by the sun or some other reflective object and shot at from all directions (flying sparks, vision distortion, mud on the “camera”, etc.), you can hardly tell what's happening in the game.
We must say, though, that the developers have perhaps overdone it a bit.
Whether you're talking about light, shadows, water, smoke, snow or any other kind of particle: DICE deserves no criticism. Alongside the tack-sharp textures, the effects are particularly jaw-dropping. BF 4 is one of the few PC titles to attain to the same graphics quality as Crysis 3, and in some places it even surpasses it. GraphicsĮven though the Battlefield 3 graphics were stunning, its successor manages even more. For the original German article, see here.
