Could you guys tell me whether an R9 280x would run BF4 at a locked 60+FPS (ultra) and if not what is the cheapest GPU to go with that does.

You'll get an average fps of around 50. Which is good seeming though battlefield 4 is a very demanding game.
When they birng out new drivers the fps you get should increase slighly

That's not entirely true, i used V-Sync on BF4 and it locks the FPS at 60, sometime it goes down to 55 but only when playing Multiplayer when a building falls down. And i have a 270X.

The 280X will max BF4 and keep a 60FPS easily, it's an awesome card. mantle will give it an extra boost too.

Reconsidering getting a Nvidia gpu because of Mantle, who knows until it's fully worked out and released though!;D

Thanks for the replies. I'll stick with the 280x then.

I'm sure it won't make the cards worse in any way, and even if it does you can just rollback the drivers or game update, so I wouldn't not get a R7/R9 card just for that reason. mantle will give the 280X a significant advantage over the GTX 770 in certain games.
