If you are able to overclock or unlock cores you will get more frames but it looks like a pretty smart matchup right now.

Is there a way to unlock cores? I've seen people with this gpu and can play Battlefield 3 1080p with max resolution such as 1920x1080 with Ultra setting and get around 38-45 fps. Whenever I have those settings except my native resolution is 1600x900 and I usually get 28-40 fps.

your gpu is too weak to play bf3 max settings.

the 550ti is a low end card.

it's an OEM CPU so if this is mass vendor PC like dell, gateway, HP, etc., those ACC features may be locked out of BIOS for OC and unlocking. If the PC is self built and the mobo supports ACC then obviously the OP can OC and attempt to unlock cores.

Depends on your board. BTW there's no way they can get 38-45 FPS maxed out. I own a 550TI myself, and from personal experience I KNOW you can't get those frames. In fact, my 550TI is clocked at 1.045ghz and there's no way you can get those frame rates!

How many frames do you get?
