Battlefield to run at 900p on Ps4

I'm quite underwhelmed by the benchmarks the game has been getting

I certainly hope BF4 is not even close to the best the PS4 can do, they use some cheap post processing on it and I'm not even certain some settings are completely maxed looking at the DigitalFoundry comparisons with the PC, some reflections are weaker and there's less lightsources at places.

Even a single 7870 can run the game with 4xMSAA + Ultra + 1050p at 39FPS average if they dropped all settings to same as PS4, I wouldn't be suprised if it was enough to push it to the 60FPS mark. You can get a better budget gaming PC for the same price in a year or two.

Battlefield 4 is using "High" equivalent PC settings on the Playstation 4, combined with a lower resolution.
The PC however is using Ultra, full 1080P and probably higher Texture filtering and better Anti-Aliasing to boot.

That's compounded by the fact that 1080P isn't even as high as the PC can go, 1440P panels are becoming plentifull and cheap, 1600P and 2160P(4k) panels are available, you can do eyefinity/surround vision too.
As usuall, if you are concerned about image quality, framerates and resolution you really wouldn't be gaming on a console, even the next-gen pales in comparison.

Plus Mantle will give AMD Radeon users a massive performance increase once it launches for all Frostbite powered games. - I wouldn't be surprised if a single 7870 get 60fps.
