Played this on Xbox however I want to get it on PC now. I have a 5870, what kind of settings am I looking at in 1080p. For me, I can quite happily play along at 30fps.

At least with all his fancy kit clecco can see it all in great graphics

Mostly medium id suggest, maybe a few settings on high. I wouldnt bother with any msaa though as it's an fps killer.

Sounds good to me for my ageing card. Will be building a new system next year anyway so, it will do until then.


If I buy BF3 anywhere other than Origin, do I still have to activate it on Origin or use Origin in any way?

 

[elmuzzy66.]

yes origin is must. Had a 5870 with a 4.2 950 and it played bf3 rather well on high with no aa and no motion blur @ 1920 x1200.

 

[Minstadave]

I play with a 5870, everything on high, 2xAA 16x AF at 1920x1200 no problem.

I found with my old oc'd sli 470's at 1920x1200, i7 920 @4ghz, a mix of high and medium worked well, couldnt use msaa though as i hit the vram limit very quickly. I can now max it with a single gtx 670 with ultra preset and x4 msaa, but tbh the game still looks pretty good on lower settings.

Cheers for the answers guys.

Looking forward to playing it with K/M rather than a controller.

Yeah, I only started playing it on PC yesterday, but I'm already getting used to it. Feels very smooth on PC!

 

[MouseMat2004]

I've got a lowly 6770, so not as good as the 5850 but still manage 1080p with most low plus some med/high like Mesh etc. Gets me a solid 40-60FPS easy (its capped at 60, but mostly 50+) new CQ maps are the worse, doesnt get much above 50FPS but very solid anyway.

Ive always found the b2k maps to be a bit more demanding than the latest ones.

 

[SickoJay]

I'm going to be purchasing premium soon, is there anywhere that do it cheaper than Origin?

 

[weyland yutani]

I gave this another go, good lord I hate this game!

The one with the aircraft carrier and skyscrapers, gulf of Oman I think, is the worst. Last week it was a total lagfest maxing my CPU to 100%. Not sure if this was a bug or if it's just a crappy map.
