Hi guys

Long time reader, first time poster.

Need some opinions on which platform to get this for, being a BF game my first thought is PC, but, i am not sure exactly how playable it will be. The main pieces of my spec are..

Core i7 920
6GB ram
8800GTX

I know the ram and cpu can handle the game well enough, but i am not sure how much that 8800 is gonna drag it down, dont really have the money atm to upgrade either, thats why i am thinking of just getting it for the PS3. Anyone any ideas?

Thx.
 
As you have said, your 8800 GTX won't cut it....maybe at very low detail and a slightly lower resolution.

I would recommend waiting for money to buy a new graphics card, though some of these then may be bottlenecked by your CPU. Once you have these issues resolved, then buy the game on the PC!

In before the Console vs PC debate! :)
 
My understanding is PC on Low is about the same as Xbox/360 your rig will play it well on low and im sure it will let you up the detail a good chunk.

a 920 is a good base machine still, for reference I have an I7 860(about the same as yours) with a an ATI 5850 ( a sub £100 card) and I can happily play single player on Ultra settings.

So buy it for PC :)

Woah Ninja edit a 8800 may not be able to play at all as its only I think a DX9 card.

IGNORE my above comments :)

That just made my day! :)
No need to create a thread now, where's my debit card?

Cheers!
 
Unfortunately I'm in the same boat. I love PC gaming but..

AMDx2 Dual-core 7950 BE @ 2.80 GHz
6 GB - RAM
GTX 260

I'm lucky to run HL2 on it :D

PS3 version for me, upgrades are too expensive.
