You should be able to run it on a mix of high/ultra with FXAA.

Assuming that's a 5870

yes it is this one http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-510.shtml

not sure which version it is it default mhz is 850 but there seems to be around 6 of these cards

Your Cpu will hold you back running high or ultra mesh quality. So I would say mix of low/medium settings.

BF3 runs at default high settings at 1920x1080 at 35 - 60 fps in multiplayer with the spec in my sig, with him having a six core CPU he should be fine for high settings easily.

Should be good with high settings and AA turned off. I played with a 955 and 5770 XF with decent visuals for awhile.

Sorry I thought his Cpu I'd a dual core? Hence the 2 in the name?

There's no x2 or x4 or x6 in the name (OP didn't put it), but 1055T is a x6/Hex Core.

What monitor do you have, Res ?

Looking at your rig it will be fine for BF3 (monitor depending), your best getting the game & trying it in different setting with FRAPs & then you can see what candy you can live without & what gives your GPU a tough time...

Medium/Low.

35 FPS is not acceptable in multiplayer and I would avoid any High settings at all.

phenom II

It is confusing...

Its a Phenom II x 6 1055T (offical name)

Phenom is the series, II is the edition of the series, X6 is the cores (as thats how AMD did it then) and 1055T is the model.

Medium/Low.

Agreed, BF3 multiplayer is super taxing. High settings may struggle, you really want as close to (or over) 60 FPS as you can get.

You can try high but you may end up with 30-40 FPS in multi-player, so i'd opt for Medium. Though is there no harm in trying high, just don't be disspointed if it starts to chugg.

Fair enough comment so is it my cpu or gpu holding me back for high settings?

 

[farlow2012]

for to add current resolution is 1200 x 1600 i think

FYI, I had a 5870 and it happily ran BF3 on mostly high settings with one or two on ultra with fps in the 50's. It could occasionally dip down to around 40 or so, but only when silly amounts of explosions and stuff were onscreen.

Iirc, I had shadows on low. Not sure about meshes.

I'm not a subscriber to the [H] point of view that anything under 60fps is unplayable when it comes to shooters btw

Funnily enough, even with an OC'd 7970, I now play with everything on low (textures-Ultra) and 2xAA. It doesn't make much difference and you're not blinded by smoke and debris everywhere.

Bottom line, Farlow: You can play BF3 just fine on your PC and probably not notice much difference between the various settings AA makes a more noticeable difference IMO, but you probably won't get away with it.
Not sure what the deal with your resolution is. What's the TV model# ?
