PC upgrade

Masterdeadly · 13 Nov 2011 at 07:40

Hello guys I'm quite a serious gamer on battlefield at the moment. With my current setup i'm getting all settings on high with 16AA never really dropping below 60 fps it only really drops to 40 when there's 64 people with lots of explosions. I was wondering if anyone could suggest some new upgrades that will help be achieve 60+fps on Ultra on bf3. A new motherboard maybe I don't know i'll leave it to you guys to suggest. I have around £400 to spend.

Another 6950 for xfire (imho)

+1 on another 6950, from what Ive read cpus dont make a big difference with bf3 so the biggest upgrade would be a 6950. Rest of your system looks good so you should be getting ultra with that.

My current 6950 Is faulty it's artefacting so would you recommend 2 of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-036-HS

it's only ment to be one per person, but people make 2 orders when you have deals with this sort of restriction(today only deals).

it should do the trick tho I'm sure there will be people replying saying they don't lime the cooler etc.

you may/may not need to upgrade the psu, just don't go overclocking the 6950s I guess.

Thanks but what should I do with this HIS 6950 1GB?

I would not be buying 1GB cards when 2GB cards are only a little more expensive, especially if you want to be future proof.

try rma'ing it? if you get a new one in return sell that on, or could sell it now as is.
