Hi all,
Forgive me if this has been asked already but there are quite a few pages to go through.
Are there any thoughts on what cards will run this comfortably on max settings, without buying the top end stuff?
Thanks

Here are my thoughts as EA have not annouced precise system requirements as of yet.
So Based on people's general assumption this is BF3.5 running Frostbite 2.5 (Frostbite 3 Officially) It should be similar to BF3.
But from the footage i have studied and seen on you tube and live feeds, clearly shows faster and smoother projectiles motion (bullets, tanks shells and rockets, better smoke, water effects, glass reflections and the integrated commander mode, 64 players+2 commanders, in game squad voip and 1st, 3rd and table top views. The current game can use 1.8Gb of Gddr5 Vram in high res situations and big maps, so again this may increase to >2Gb of Vram......
These extra's (Over bf3) cost system resources and stack up to this game requiring a bump in GPU/CPU processing requirement to run in full ultra settings at 1080p+. I guessimate +20% more processing power needed.
This is of course unless dice have a super dooper optimised game engine that AMD and Nvidia drivers are optimised to use (No Chance at least not on release day any how. AMD say they are working directly with DICE to get this game working correctly!!!
If I were to recommend cards to play in ultra with a single monitor i'd suggest,
7950, 7970, 7990
680,770,780, Titan.
If you have three screens,
3x7950's upwards, 3x670's upwards.
I dont know much about low end cards but its sometimes cheaper to buy 2 cheaper cards and run in crossfire/sli and get better performance per £.
My brother has 3x660ti's running 3 monitors in ultra. He originally used 2x660ti's and acheived 110fps with a single screen and added the 3rd to use three screens 5760x1080p.
He also reported 55-62 fps in multiplayer with ultra settings with a single card. Currently a 660ti cost £200.
This is all obviously just speculation at this stage, but there is plenty of evidence that these requirements should be a reasonable level in system requirements......
As always just my thoughts.......
