84% Of Gamers Do Not Meet Recommended Spec for BF3

Hmm not looking good for 2560x1440, going to need some power for that...

Crossfire 2x factory overclocked 6950s 2GB. Reasonable price, great performance.

i cant wait for this game its the first game that's going to be played once ive build my new rig. was a huge fan of bf2 for many years. hopefully the spirit of bf2 has carried over to bf3 because if it has this is going to be like no other fps ever

I have a 5770...is that about the same as a 5830? i.e. low

I'd say between low and medium.. anyway the BETA is out tomorrow for the Origin suckers I'm sure people will post FRAPS screenshots soon enough

 

[Shayper]

580 here, watercooled and running at 1ghz. Methinks there is no need to upgrade

 

[Combat Fighter]

Looks like my trusty 5970 should run fine @2560x1440 at max.

 

[PapaLazaru]

I may be compelled to wait two or 3 years before buying the game...

Pretty much the worse move you could make. Miss out on all the noobie fun and buy it when everybody is an uber pwner and get your behind handed to you?

Just get another second hand 460 and SLI.

I am waiting to see ow the beta runs on my 5870 and taking of from there.

A 5970 is basically 2 5850s on one board so my 5850 CF setup should cut it. I only play games at 1080 too so I'm hoping to run between high/max settings.... as long as the fps doesn't dip below 60 I'm happy

*Cough* ****** *Cough*

 

[rolypolyman]

I dont need to upgrade for BF3......as I wont be getting it.

Here we go again, more hip and even more hip, just going to wait to see how the Beta runs tomorrow to get a basic idea how my 470-850/1700/2000MHz will handle it.

Someone that talks sense.

Well actually it's more like 2 x 5870's on one board. Not to mention my 5970 is water cooled and overclocked quite a bit.

 

[antran]

After seeing this, I feel so much better now.

I was planning to get another gtx 580 or xfire 6970 = )

 

[LanceCrossfire]

I'll take your 'max' and raise you another GTX580 can't wait

 

[Shayper]

*Cough* ****** *Cough*

Haha

 

[complex.]

How do you guys think a 6850 will run this?

 

[antran]

haha, I will know how my system handle tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure my system will handle BF3 on high or ultra, can't see it handling max.

To be honest, I can't tell the different between 4x to 8x AA.

Oh I forgot, I got a twin frozr II running stock atm. Might OC it a bit to squeese out few frames.

 

[kristmace]

I'm pretty confident my i5 partnered with a 5850 will be comfortable on medium. That'll do for me..... for now

580 should be able to do max, especially if you have overclocked it

No one see the irony here?

The thread title should read:

100% of Steam users will not play BF3!

Quite liking the look of this game, but if its not on steam I'm not buying it
