Benchmarks - Battlefield 4

A game that needs no introduction, Battlefield 4 is the latest incarnation of DICE's epic first-person shooter.

There's a small, repeatable increase when the WindForce is used instead of the reference cooler. A combination of more cores and higher frequencies gives this card a 20 per cent performance advantage over the regular Titan that debuted last year.

We also examine frame times and see what proportion are rendered in under 33ms (equating to 30fps if considered over a full second). The TB WindForce is marginally better than the reference cooler, because it produces slightly higher framerates, and is, unsurprisingly, the best single-GPU card here.

We also measure the 99th percentile frame time. In other words, 99 per cent of frames are rendering in less than this. Here's where single-GPU cards tend to do better than dual-GPU, though, unexpectedly, the reference cooler's performance is a smidge better than the WindForce's.
