8GB of Viper 3 Red Ram @ 1333Mhz
Single 7850 running stock clocks (whilst pin pointing a pre-existing issue)

Frames: 13779 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 45.930 - Min: 24 - Max: 75

2013-10-01 23:03:28 - bf4
Frames: 11377 - Time: 264827ms - Avg: 42.960 - Min: 0 - Max: 71

Frames: 13032 - Time: 300000ms - Avg: 43.440 - Min: 24 - Max: 75

Loving the minimum on the second bench :D

Put 7850 clocks up to 1100/1300 for a quick run and min/max/avg went up by about 10fps.

Edit: that was on recommended settings, didn't bother adjusting anything.

I7 2600K @ 4.0
16 Gig Corsair Vengeance RAM
Win 7 X64
GB 670GTX running insanely old drivers (probably last updated in Jan 2013)
1920 x 1200 res
Settings on auto / default which is a mixture of high / ultra

No stuttering at all, was smooth and playable and exactly the same as BF3 was/is for the hour I managed to be on, moaned like hell though when it started about old video drivers.

Frame rates are much better with the 327.24's however it's still a stuttery,juddery mess!

It feels as if I'm running Battlefield 4 on an old hard drive :D

EDIT : It isn't VRAM causing it as i'm only using 963MB

Hom much vram do you have? Im managing ok with gtx 780 and i7 2600k @4GHz, however afterburner isnt showing any framerate data for some reason. What are you guys using?

Specs:

i7 4700MQ
780m GTX overclocked + beta drivers
8GB DDR3 1600
Windows 8
1920 x 1080 60Hz

Running on Auto which is a mixture of high and ultra and get smooth game play however it feels as though there is input lag even with vsync off.

Changing to medium and low the game play seems to be smoother but still have input lag.

For the Input lag - Try turning "Raw Input" off. That sorted it for me.

I7 2600k @ 4.8ghz
Gigabyte GTX 780 + Beta Drivers
16GB DDR3 1600
Windows 7 Professional
1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz

Changed most of the settings to medium with mesh at highest. Also changing the sampling to 150% increased performance.
Seems a few people are having issues with high CPU utilization and low GPU usage.
Performance feels 'alright', Could be better and by the sound of it - could be much worse.

Running everything on Ultra

Crap.

On a serious note tho, anyones game keep dropping to window mode? Doing my head in!

yep does windowed mode to me also

You have to make sure that you confirm the settings at the bottom of the Video settings screen and then make sure that you click "apply" when you go off the settings all together, or everything defaults back to the previous setting.

i7 4770k
16GB RAM
GTX 780 (WHQL drivers)
Windows 8
1080p @ 120Hz

It runs fine for me, fps bounces between 100 - 180fps. No lag spikes or CPU spikes, the only issue I get is the occasional crash to desktop, maybe once every 3 or 4 rounds. Its easy to tell that its not well optimized yet, but I haven't been getting the issues that many others have.

Running it on Ultra with 2xAA and 100deg FOV.

Game ran like a bag of **** until I installed the latest beta drivers and its now very playable. Not done any benchmarks yet.

15 3750K
HD7950 Boost TFIII - tried 13.1 drivers last night, updated with latest betas but not yet tested.
Win 7 64bit
1080p

Runs well, some occasional slowdown but not noticeably related to on-screen action, which makes me think it's something background related (data gathering, or whatever they put in the 'beta' version just so they could remove it for the 'release day' performance improvements).

Movement in terms of harsh terrain and getting stuck is definitely a step back from BF3 - not sure if that's due to un-finalised maps or will be along term thing that encourages different behaviours.

Spec in sig.

No issues in terms of graphical stuttering or frame rate issues, the only problems i have come across three times (over 6 hours gaming) is BF4 crashing, and returning to web browser screen.
GPU Temp sits at 70 and CPU sits at 58 (oc'd to 4.6)
There are instances where i cannot cross bits of terrain, or get stuck but very few, and most certainly more than i picke dup in both Alpha & Beta testing on BF3.

All running pretty well here on my 7870.....all ultra but res only at 1680 x 1050.....getting low 50's

I'm on Windows 8.1 and also I think that the HT on my I7 is helping....
