Battlefield 4 (also known as BF4) is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and published by Electronic Arts. The game is a sequel to 2011′s Battlefield 3. Battlefield 4 is built on the new Frostbite 3 engine. The new Frostbite engine enables more realistic environments with higher resolution textures and particle effects. A new “networked water” system is also being introduced, allowing all players in the game to see the same wave at the same time. Tessellation has also been overhauled.
We test at 1280×720 with high image quality settings, as shown above.
The GT640 is seriously underpowered, struggling to average smooth frame rates. The GT650 however is much better, averaging 51 frames per second. The Sapphire R7 250 Ultimate is closely matched, but loses out a little in a direct head to head.

no single slot? well that sucks… HTPC users need single slot cards.
Harris, AMD cards output a lot of heat, building this into a single cooler design would be not feasible, based on the temperature results Kitguru recorded.
AMD need the Maxwell architecture for this. I am surprised Nvidia haven’t released a single slot passively cooled MAXWELL based card, but I am sure it is coming soon.
Including the previous Sapphire Ultimate (HD 7750) in the test comparisons would have be very helpful. Next time?
