Selling BF3?

Guru · 11 Nov 2011 at 22:55

Hi all,

I just got BF3 on the PC and my machine doesn't run it well enough at all

Is it possible to sell the PC version even though I've already entered the cd code thing on my pc?

It is a much nicer experiance on my xbox at the moment

Thanks,

G

Nope, unless you can supply the origin account details as well.

Can you not gift games on Origin to other Origin users ?

Not if you've already downloaded and installed it, I would imagine.

If its the only game on your Origin account then you maybe able to Auction it, but i doubt you would get a decent price for it

That sucks ass! The nvidia site said I could run it on just less than high, but it isn't even properly playable with everything on the lowest.

Gutted.

What are the specs of your pc?

Maybe a cheap gpu upgrade will get you medium to high settings.

I would buy it off you but being a student and having no funds doesn't help, plus its always risky with it being added to your origin account you could always claim it back :S

Maybe you can persuade EA for a refund ? :rolleyes:

That should be more than enough for medium I would think.

And some. I have some of my clan mates with less than that and they are running it fine.

Same cpu and a 260 there's a fella running it fine on vent right now. He doesn't have his fps counter up telling him it's running point 2 frames per second slower than it should be though.

I have a mate running it with a 260 and an Athlon dual core with 2gb of DDR2 running it ok!

Chihero · 12 Nov 2011 at 01:28

yer im running it on a Amd Athlon dual core ok enough

I have a Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz and a GTX295, and I've recently dropped settings to a mix of medium and low to get higher fps @ 1920x1080. It runs SP at high well enough though.

re-install windows. Latest drivers etc.

Should do the trick.

This thread reminds me of why I gave up PC gaming and now just stick to the old classics which are cheap or solo developed games which are fun.

I got burned far too many times buying a high price title as it was either rubbish or not what I expected. I couldn't sell it and was stuck with an expensive coaster.

Sticking to the old classics or cheap games means I still enjoy them and if they're rubbish I've only wasted a few quid.

i normally wait a few months for the price to drop then buy (though activision dun give a ** please fully star out swear words, disguised or not ** and keep prices high)

i wouldn't be surprised if the next generation of consoles moved towards digital downloads rather than physical copies, they save money on producing a physical copy and they also hate the second hand market
