Battlefield 3

[maxim486]

Hi there, I'm just wondering if this computer rig will be able to run Battlefield 3 on max settings with 16x AF and 32x AA on at a res of 1920 x 1080.

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Six-Core CPU
8 GB [4 GB X2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module - Corsair Vengeance
AMD Radeon HD 6970 - 2GB - CrossFire Mode (Dual Cards)
[CrossFire] ASUS Crosshair IV Formula -- AMD 890FX w/ 3x PCI-E 2.0 x16
1200 Watt -- Corsair CMPSU-1200AX
Asetek 550LC Liquid CPU Cooling System (AMD) - ARC Dual Silent High Performance Fan Upgrade (Push-Pull Airflow)

I'm a bit worried about the ram. I'm not sure whether I should pay the extra $145 and get 16gb instead of 8gb.

Feel free to recommend me better brands or parts

Its not a joke... people who got invited by EA have free access to Battlefield 3 Alpha.

You obviously didn't read the first response either.

BF3 alpha is already somewhat public, just sayin.

 

[FlintIronStagg]

stop this nonsense guys. who needs the 32x AA anyhow? srsly thats just rediculous. Im pretty sure more people will be able to max out this game no prob, and others will just have to tweak settings a tiny bit

 

[skulltac]

Yeah I really dont think the requirements will be much worse than BC2. Which runs great on my PC so I'm happy lol.

 

[nocturnal7x]

32xAA... probably get 1 fph

I am have having a gaming pc built with the gtx 460 se 1gb (non superclocked version) and I am told not to over clock my pc. and with my knowledge, I won't.

I will have the raptor 10,000rpm 300gig hdd, 8 gigs ddr2 from my old pc, 500watt psu, am2/am3 board and a phenom quad core from my 4 year old HP pc, pretty sure 2.39ghz. The people at the computer place said my processor is fine for what I will have to pay / performance for upgrade and the new mobo they are putting in supports my older processor while allowing me to upgrade in the future. NZXT Steel Series Case. -- I have had bad luck with HDD's frying and I read about people installing a fan to blow directly on the HDD (should i do this? what size fan? I will gladly pay for this option if it's a smart decision ) (Please let me know if these specs are bad. I have only put half down on the pc and can change my mind on parts, within a 4 days before they put it together.)

My question is..I have looked at the benchmarks for the gtx 460 se 1gb and it's always at the end of the spectrum, whereas the gtx 560 ti 1gb seems like it could last me a a bit longer. Should I pay 100$ more for the 560 ti gpu or will the 460 se 1gb be plenty for bf3/future games at high(playable/competitive) settings? I need to know fast because they have already ordered my parts and I need to let them know if I decide to change my gpu asap.

**I understand the final specs haven't been released for BF3, but I'm sure some of you tech savvy guys can guess what will be necessary. If BFBC2 runs at 30fps on the gtx 460 se 1gb, I am pretty sure I will be in regret when BF3 launches with the same card?

Thanks a lot and any help is appreciated!

it depends on your Mhz of DDR2. Your cpu is pretty slow for a quad as well.

I got 32x AA
need 32x AA
I can render it with my 580 next sunday

 

[ash256]

Judgeing by u crossfireing it and since i have the same processor u should be able to def run at high but not fully maxed because DICE did say the computer hasent been built yet to run it.

And I did play the alpha at high and it played like a champ on a GTX 560

Thank you for the reply but it is a little late.
I'm pretty jealous right now about you getting into the alpha but seeing alpha gameplay on youtube was enough for me until the beta.
I've actually went with another build and I'm hoping it will be able to max out BF3 because it easily max's out BFBC2.

have you bought this or is this a proposed build?

 

[benski]

This game is selling a tone of hardware before it's even been released.

Yup and the key word was PC is lead platform
