This game will not push hardware as much as EA things. The industry people don't know crap about current tech. hardware is still far ahead of the curve related to the software which is still trying to keep up. The only reason this game will be CPU taxing is because they are going to use old coding techniques that do not take full advantage of new instruction sets or properly optimized DX11 features.

That was also Single Player which requires less juice since you don't have to continually load characters from other people, and we have no way of knowing what Resolution it was on. Multiplayer with 64-people on a huge map, will be a lot more taxing to a system than a Single Player mission.

Everybody will play medium/low on multi anyway, not cause of FPS but to see better.
I couldn't see anybody with high settings in BF2. But the first few weeks with high might be cool with the destruction stuff.

I don't need low settings to be good, thats for chumps. Played every FPS I have ever owned maxed out, or as high as I could and I will continue to do so.

Do you guys think I will be alright with 8 GB of RAM, overclocked 2600K, and SLI GTX570s?

Yeah though the way he plays would be cheaper. I have never tried it though. Like I said in a previous post I'm about through upgrading for awhile except for maybe one more GPU upgrade if I need it for BF3. Man I read the review for that Powercolor 6870 x2. I'd love to spend the extra $150 and get that instead of the 6970. Probably won't happen though. Be lucky to get the 6970.Time to start pumping money back into my Jeep. Getting close to paying off the Federal Trustee after 5 years of a Chapter 13 and I will be able to afford Rock Crawling again.
Funny guy ! As long as you aren't looking for world domination you'll be fine.

You should be fine, you got a killer setup, and if not, drop down the AA. But at 1920x1080, you should be sitting pretty nicely.

If he can't max the game out in multiplayer, something is wrong with the game.

That would be terrible, if 2x GTX 570's in SLI can't max the game out, then it's time to patch the game engine up a bit.

If no hardware is capable of maxing the game out meaning AA/AF all the way up, bloom, DX11(if it even has DX11, which if i recall it does) etc. Then i can deal with that and is more then reasonable.

No one said its the minimum. They already said if you can MAX OUT BC2 then you should be ok on medium settings in BF3. I think thats a fair estimate given its estimated size don't you? I mean the maps they said are going to be BIGGER THEN BF2! I know you remember how big those were right? Well think about them looking like the Frostbyte 2 engine? Its insane! |

When is kepler supposed to be unvailed again?
![]() So, BF3 becomes available in September, GTX6xx, HD7xxx and SB-E in December-January and Ivy in March (if all goes well). Yeah, BF3 can afford to be bottlenecked by current hardware, new hardware is on the way.

the new GPUs from Nvidia and AMD are delayed till sprin 2012, so theres awhile yet before they get released if i remember right its due to foundry issues again.

who cares? new sandybridge rig will be complete and ill just overvolt my 6970s and push them to 1000 core, bring the CPU up to 4.5-5ghz and call it a day lol, nvidia can do all the refreshes they want, as far as i see 400>500 was a refresh a 585 would be a third refresh and kinda fail lol a gtx 580 to 585 would be a 5-7% improvement, oh wait a 580 overclocked does that and then some lolz,
who cares untill the REAL 600 and 7000 series arrive ill push my current hardware to do what must be done... but in order to do that Steam must come through for me, and reward me with a BF3 experience. |
