Battlefield 3, Can it do it?

[Agamer123]

Forum,

I'm tossing up upgrading a new graphics card with Crysis 3 coming up; do you think my system can handle it? Also do you think I can run BF3 maxed out?


Windows 7 home premium Alienware edition 64-Bit
Gigabyte HD5870 (There's 3 versions of the card) Mine - http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3355#ov
Intel Core i7 CPU 950 @3.07GHz
12GB RAM
2TB Seagate HDD
64GB SSD

Cheers

What clock speed is your ram?
And that card will run BF3 however i'm not sure about max settings.

And if anyone is interested; I'll be moving to this card when I upgrade

Ram is a bit weak but I guess the 12gb of it will make up for it.
I highly recommend that card, I have the asus model in my machine at the moment and it runs all games on Ultra settings above 40 fps minimum. Coupled with the i5 3570k it really impresses.
