If you play consoles more often than PC gaming then maybe just get it for next gen, or if you really want to play the PC version maybe only buy one of the next gen consoles and spend 300-400 quid on a GPU.

They have been bought for me well mostly I paid some towards but I do heavily play on consols more I keep pc for games like this and Starcraft etc.
 
The beta ran really smoothly for me with a medium end rig that is pretty old now:

i5 750 oc to 3.6GHZ (when turbo kicks in, it goes to 3.8GHz)
8GB RAM oc to 1520 mhz iirc
MSI 7850 OC 2GB
1080P res
W7

And that was with high settings (AA turned of [will be using a sweetfx config], no ambient occlusion and no AA post) and mesh set to ultra. IIRC average FPS was around 50-60 with minimum FPS going to 35.

I expect the performance to be even better for the final version too if any of the recent high end games are to go by i.e. bf 3, crysis 3 etc.

Saying that, come the final game for multiplayer, I will probably play with mostly low/medium settings as I want a consistent smooth experience in the big action battles!

The only problem I had with the beta was crashes every 2-3 games and bad stutter every now and then at the beginning (not as bad as what other people had but the patch completely eliminated that for me)

The only thing which I need is a new keyboard :p can't decide between the corsair raptor k30 or the cm storm quickfire rapid TK red switches........

So what you guys reckon could i run this at med/high?

My spec is

AMD X6 6300
8GB 1333Mhz Samsung
ATi 7770GHz Edition


I can run 3 in mostly high but then i was playing at a lower res this time im wanting to try it at 1920x1080 since i got a new monitor since BF3 but gut is telling me medium at best :(

Medium quite comfortably. The weakness will be the 7770 especially if it's only 1GB. I've got a 2GB 7850 with the FX 6300 CPU and got average of 50fps on high settings in the Beta.
 
The game will look fine on a mix of low and medium settings. For a game fps shooter you want as near damn it to 60fps constant. Just make sure you only have Mesh on Med / High otherwise it'll chug so bad. There will be no getting around the fact that your CPU will be an issue for 64 man maps, but if you live with it, so be it.
 
Also holding on GPU wise, I want to stream so an upgrade is required. Hoping for a nice price point on 780ti or 780 :)

I can play on 40 fps as long as there is no stutter or weird lag problems. Better fps is obviously better but i could never run at a lower resolution just to gain some fps.

But if you are @ 40fps compared to 60fps that will give you actual in game lag. Better to run @ 60 if your system will allow, it'll make you more able to get a higher KD / just play better.

I'm looking forward to the influx of MM graphics card bargains :-) hopefully going to go from my 5850 to a 7850 or 7950. Worthy cheap upgrade?

I would be surprised if you see a lot of 7950s going in MM. They are great bang for buck in xfire, so I expect to see people adding them rather than flogging them. They are so cheap new that they aren't worth selling to upgrade.

I went from my trusty 5850 (epic card it was) to a 7950 last year and it was worth it. I now have two, and it is more worth it.
