do you think my pc will play bf3 at 1680x1050 med-high?

If one more person refers to a monitor resolution as 1080P I swear.....

WHY are you adding Progressive? Because your 720, 1050 or 1200 vertical resolution lines are NOT progressive?

Pretty much all modern LCD monitors are progressive scan?

EDIT: Oh I see what your saying.

Lol that's a properly geeky comment, I love it with all my heart <3

But I do concur, kinda reminds me of people who say "ATM Machine" ...so you're going to use the automated teller machine machine? (only example I could think of on the spot).
 
Geeky yes but the details matter :mad:

The term 1080p only assumes an aspect ratio and implies certain other technical aspects.

Go look at all the blurb about 1080P and you will find lots of words like - suggests, implies, assumes, typically.

The term has no place in relation to PC monitors other than the fact a PC monitor is capable of displaying '1080P' content as used in TV/Film.
 
I wouldn't say it has no place in relation to PC monitors - its just for the most part redundant.

A few decades ago people did not ask whether they would be able to play a game at 480P did they?

It's the huge marketing machine for 'HD' that has made the terms 720P and 1080P buzzwords people like to throw around. What people forget is I could quite happily push a stupid aspect ratio image with 1080 vertical lines to my monitor and it would look like ass.

Not really, it's just a saying, beats saying the full res each time, you and I both know if someone said "will my machine play it in 1080?" they mean 1920x1080... So do they.

Only the muppets that get this confused with a whole different form of viewing, ie average joe.

But on here, we all (well, I would have thought) know what they mean.

I was just making a point easier to type 1080p rather than 1900x1080 all the time, people know 1080p=1900x1080

BUT if I get a pc monitor will I be getting or better getting 1900x1200?

16:9 vs 16:10?


As for PC I have loadsa cash so I may as well upgrade CPU and RAM


I can keep same mobo, and GPU and 520w antec PSU?

Not sure why but it bugs me when people say 1080p on this forum.

If you want a decent look at how BF3 will run for you then try BC2 and imagine it as a little more of a strain on your PC. Quad is a must!

i was playing bc2 @ 1920x1080 with 8xaa all settings maxed on a gtx 460 and pulling in 60fps with vsync...

doubt bf3 wil be as demanding as everyone expects
