Battlefield 4 is first person shooter video game, published by EA Digital Illusions CE and released in October 2013. Unlike most, this games does not include an in-game benchmark. This makes it perfect for more real world gaming tests. To obtain repeatable results we have used FRAPs and recorded the first 90 seconds of the single player Tashgar level. An average of four runs was taken.
The settings used in the testing below are Ultra pre-set for quality, with VSync disabled and a resolution of 1920×1080.
Battlefield 4 may be getting old, but it still is a great benchmark for judging performance. Not only does it stress the cores it also stresses the memory and memory controller. In this rather difficult test the MSI R7 370 Gaming 2 comes out smelling like a rose. While yes it still can not compete against a card that costs in excess of $200 it still blows past any other video card in the $150 price bracket! Based on these results, you would have to be a glutton for punishment to opt for a stock / reference R7 370 instead of this silent running, value orientated card.
