Can't run bf3??

[JakeTD]

My brother bought a radeon he 7850 with his i3 3220 with 8 gb ram.. He went on canurunit and it passed recommended but when he went on bf3 he couldn't even go on bf3 low settings with about 10 FPS? Please help

Dual core CPU's are not suited for gaming especially modern games like BF3, also the Canurunit software isn't 100% accurate and looks at clock speed instead of the actual efficiency of each part.

It it probably should be able to run it on a steady FPS at least..

Well it isn't so it can't... :L

Try updating to latest drivers and making sure components aren't getting to hot but you have to understand that isn't a strong system for AAA titles.

Is there anything else that could be the problem?

canyourunit is not a legit website. Its only for general referencial purpose.
However, in this case, I think they were referring to minimum settings.

Try changing the settings to low/mid and turn Anti aliasing OFF.
Then if it still doesn't run too well, try lowering the resoluton.

I have seen the game running at mid settings with steady 30+ fps on a i3 2120 rig along with a gtx460

I already tried lowering the resolution and putting down anti aliasing.
I cant even run bf3 on low settings i get 10fps!
this is my specs

The i3 is a dual core. Most modern games need 4 cores. You would need to buy a new processor if you would like fps higher.

Ts like the FPS is limited to 10 and can't go any higher

More than likely you will need to upgrade.

Would an i5 3470 do the job?

couple of things...

Were you running BF3 multiplayer? MP is a lot more CPU intensive.

Other graphics settings to check
Depth of field (DoF)- turn this off, it's a massive resource hog
Shadows - another big resource eater, set to min.
Anisotropic filtering - turn off as well.

AMD FX 6300 or pair it with an i5, I reccomend the i5 as it works out cheaper (same mobo) but as stated multiple times, dual core is NOT for high end gaming.

Right now, on newegg.com there having a sell on the i5 3570 for $195 free shipping. Its a bit better and cost 5 dollars less.
