Kinda hard to tell as the beta was an old unoptimised build, but going by that you'd be looking at medium at most.

you need newer op system no xp support for a start.
id say upgrade your card and you should be good. or lower your res quite a bit and play on low settings.

Battlefield 3 will not run on XP, so you will need to upgrade to Vista or Windows 7.
Other than that though you will be able to play the game fine, you may just have to run settings on low-medium. If you had a more powerful graphics card you would be all set, but the game should still run well.
Ok cool, thanks chaps.
I'll upgrade to Win7 tomorrow (was not sure whether it would diminish the performance or not - but looks like I HAVE to).
If I were to upgrade the card, what should I be looking at, given the rest of the components, I don't want anything to pricey, just something that will give me that nice bang for my buck.

Is anyone in the UK going to be using a VPN to play BF3 before it comes out on the 28th ? If so which service are you using as I'm thinking about trying it

Im buying a physical copy at a midnight opening so waiting for the proper release
vpn early and play on high ping servers
Theres bound to be euro servers up by that time as well.
with high ping players on
Wouldnt call euro players high ping, especially not compared to yank servers.

For anyone that uses Giganews they have a free vpn if your on their top package. The free trial does not allow you to use the vpn though 
Still looking.....
If the ping is daft I can play the SP for a day or two

Have you been uploading that non stop since the beta ended?
nah it took an hour. it was actually 69.9gb from fraps but movie maker destroyed it and made it into 6.04GB.
If not then I will be going on single player.

Don't worry about win 7, I find it a great OS to run and it is pretty quick. When Vista came out I moved to Linux, when win 7 came out I went back to windows. You will like it and it will run just as quick as XP if not faster imo anyway.
not be funny but who gives a ****
It'd be a struggle to route the Origin traffic through the VPN but not the games connection so Euro servers would be even worse, it'd involve a round trip from you to the the US then back to europe.
