Where did those recommended specs come from for ultra?

Since BF3, Ultra has always been for multi card setups, according to DICE.

I estimated them, based on reviews I read, should be enough for Ultra. Multi cards? For 4K maybe, otherwise, no. BF3/BF4, the same.

Article about BF3

"Ultra, finally, is intended primarily for multi-GPU owners, though of course, future single GPUs should be able to handle it fine, and those now better with future drivers."

Since he's talking about BF3, it's safe to assume that future single cards here is those that come out after and apply to BF3. The same for BF4, Hardline, etc.

I'm not talking about bf3 also that's totally wrong. I was playing bf3 on ultra with far weaker systems than that. Maybe his understanding of "ultra" is something else, I'm talking about settings not the highest resolution. Ultra was np back then with a highend gpu, one that is, not two. Gtx 580 for example. And weaker Gpus than that too. Same with bf4 and the rest. Again I'm not talking about highest resolution which is nonsense anyway.

Seeing as how the gtx 580 came out the week of BF3's release, I really doubt that's what they were referencing. And when it says ultra, I assume all settings to ultra with highest resolution.

I'm not saying you can't get good frame rate without it, I'm just tell you what DICE said. Seeing as how the GTX 1080 just came out this year, I assume that Ultra in BF1 would be targeting GTX 980ti or Fury X.

What most people and hardware sites refer to as ultra is simply ultra settings because it has nothing to do with resolution. What you mean is "ultra 4k/1440p/eyefinity" that's something else.

BTW I don't care what dice said, recommendations from game makers are 99% bullshit.

Bf1 recommendation is fx 8350 and i7 6700k for example for optimal cpu - what a joke, because the i7 6700k is a lot faster. What Ive written down is much more realistic.

This isn't hardware sites refer to things, if you look at the link it's actually in one of the pictures.

They're recommended because, as been shown in the beta, the game will use at least 4 threads. Seen people saying their i5 6500k were almost maxed while my i7 970 was only using 40%. There's even a video on youtube (can't find it right now) that shows an i3 6320 and a gtx 1070 only gettting 30fps while an "upgrade" to an i7 2600k puts him over 100.

I'll take the word of the game programmer any day of the week over that of the internet.

But what ever, I'm more interested in what or what's not going to be in the controls if you rent a server since Procon will no be around this time. Also be interested if the prices will be different since prices on consoles, for past titles, have been way cheaper then what they are on the PC. From what I've read, on PC, you're now going to rent servers directly from EA/DICE and no longer any 3rd party.

I'm not talking about your link, I'm talking generally and my words stay true.

It's not the words of a "programmer" it's more likely the words of a PR guy. And even if it were the words of a programmer I wouldn't give shit about it. As I said, the recommendations from companys about their own games are 99,9% bullshit. If you don't believe it - I don't care. I wrote down a pretty good example too, which you neglected. Comparing a FX 8350 to a 6700K is just silly - or recommending them on the same level. The FX 8350 is - at best - comparable to a i5 6500 - that is, when all threads of it are used in DX12 mode. If not, it's even worse. It's nowhere near a i7 6700K. That's just PR, so that AMD users aren't ignored, that's it. You think that's more worth than the well tested recommendations of hardware sites, or that of experienced users? Very well. Your problem not mine.

I'm sure there were billions of black Germans on the front line of WW1. Seems legit.

Don't know about WW1 but the European Commission estimates there are about 200,000 to 300,000 black people living in Germany out of a population of around 80 million. It's conceivable that seeing black German soldiers wouldn't have been uncommon during WW1. I don't recall Aryan racial purity being a thing until after WW1.

Why is this even an issue still?
Because I'm sick of people trying to rewrite history for a perceived modern injustice. Its an insult to the people who lived through REAL oppression. History happened no matter how you "feel" today.

This argument doesn't need to be in this thread. If you're really curious at why the Devs did it this way, ask for their sources of information. I originally made a point that people were getting a lot of things confused. Different countries, now its about color of peoples skin, really does not belong in this thread.

Actually it does. Just because I proved a point you don't like doesn't mean its not relative. Deal with it.

My great grandfather fought for the French Foreign Legion against the Turks. Since this game isn't some fictional war but something that affected peoples blood line it should have some kind of accuracy. If its some alternate dimension then I don't care.

It's a videogame guys, chill. Of all the inaccuracies of battlefield, this seems the least consequential.
I feel like we need a seperate thread for QQ
Back on topic, can we get a headcount of who will be playing day 1?
