BATTLEFIELD 3 - Will My PC Run It??

[hackashack]

Yeah i'm trying to see if my PC is ok so it can run battlefield 3.
I am trying to go for high settings, these are my system specs:

Processor: Intel ® Viiv™ Processor Technology with an Intel ® Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600
• 2.4 GHz, 8MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz Front Side Bus (Stock cooling)

Motherboard: ASUS P5BW-LA (Basswood3G)*** here's a link:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00916901&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&product=3442913&lang=en

Memory: 4GB DDR2

Operating system: windows 7 ultimate 32-bit

Video card: MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II OC 880MHZ 1GB Dual DVI PCI-E Video Card

Power supply: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W ATX 20/24PIN SLI Ready Modular Cables 135mm Fan 80PLUS Power Supply

Screen Resolution: 1650 x 1080


***I know the q6600 will do well if i overclock it but I'm very worried that i might be bottle necking that motherboard of mine :\
PLEASE HELP =[ Thank you!

FYI, I upgraded my e2160 to a qx6800 that I found cheap on craigslist and combined with a 6870 HD am getting 40-60FPS last night on the HIGH settings @1920x1080 (not ULTRA). Looks similar to some of the builds discussed here so I thought I'd share.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme QX6800 @ 3.2 OC
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master HyperTX2
MB: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
RAM: Wintec Ampo DDR2 PC-6400, 2Gbx2
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon 6870 HD 1 Gb
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.1 320GB 16Mb
PSU: 850 Watt

Do you have a cpu or gpu bottleneck? cause im going to be playing it with a 2600k and a 6950 at 1920x1200 and would like some insight.

I actually think it's pretty balanced. It feels like I'm CPU bottlenecked from LOW to HIGH settings where, after I just installed version 3 of AMD's catalyst preview drivers, I can only max out at 60FPS regardless of the quality. If I go full ULTRA, I run at 30FPS which I am assuming is gpu bottlenecked since I doubt raising the quality should affect CPU too much. If I turn down AA to x2 and lower anistropic some, I get around 40-60FPS. So, I would assume since I'm pretty much getting ULTRA settings at respectable FPS using a 3 year old quad core processor and less powerful GPU than you, you should be able to run ULTRA with no problems.

 

[cbrunnem]

when you say full ultra getting 30 fps is that everything turned all the way up? and at what resolution?

Full ultra meaning I go in video settings where you can chose from LOW,MEDIUM,HIGH,ULTRA, and CUSTOM and I'm picking ULTRA so it should be everything turned on. I'm running 1920x1080

 

[cbrunnem]

sweet thanks i should be good then

 

[tjosborne]

you know at the nvidia website on the same page as the latest driver you can do a test to see how well your pc can run it. id give that a check if your curious

 

[cbrunnem]

i have an AMD 6950....

Don't get the GTX460 2GB but rather a GTX560Ti 1GB, if you can afford it. Also, 8GB RAM isn't going to speed up your system in games, it's not worth going more than 4GB. Specially not on the older DDR2 platform, it's going to cost too much.

follow this advice and your system will be in a constant bottleneck...
on aly dual core system your best not going above a gtx 260. an amd 6000x2 with a gtx275 would actually give worse performance than a e6300 gtx 260 setup.
anything from the gtx460 up needs a quad core of 2.4 minimum for intel and 2.6 minimum for amd. but the 560 ti will only really perform on the highest end intel core 2 quads or i5/i7 quads... this is my own general rule that i learned through experience. not benchmarks.
