Card for BF3

[throtic]

I recently upgraded my system for BF3 but I don't have much more money to spend on a nice video card.


I'm looking to run the game at 50+ FPS on the LOWEST POSSIBLE settings. I don't care if it's pretty, I just want it to run smoothly.


Are there any video cards that are 150$ or less(prefer around 100$) that can get me 50+ FPS?



Thanks in advance.

wouldnt get any less than a gtx460 or ati 6850. What are the rest of your system specs? There are other things you need to take into account to get 50+ fps and you need a decent power supply to run a decent vid card.

^ I doubt he'll need that!

From what I've seen, a 6770(5770) is able to run at 40+ on high settings at 1980x1080p. With no AA of course. And to be honest, the game looks gorgeous on low. Looks better than most FPS today. On medium you wouldnt hit below +45, which is still very smooth. So it's safe to say you wouldnt hit below 50FPS on low at 1980x1080.


Here's a 5770 you can buy on Newegg:

And you'd also need a decent quadcore.

I'm going to bump this thread, would this video card run BF3 at low settings with 50+ FPS?
