Hi. I installed BF3 today and fps are very low when i play multiplayer (sometimes drops to 9! Average is about 20fps). I was forced to play with everything on low and 640x480 resolution. I think that my CPU is bottlenecking. My specs:
Club3D GTX550Ti
Core 2 Duo 2.33Ghz
4x 1GB DDR2 RAM

As soon as I get new power suply I will upgrade CPU to Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz.
I thought I would been able smothly on low. Is it my CPU problem? I've seen people with 550Ti playing on high and ultra!
 


Sorry man but there's no way that anyone is going to be playing BF3 on Ultra at any modern resolution with a 550 and a low end Core 2 Duo. Your computer is simply too inadequate to handle it.

Splendid
I wouldnt upgrade to the q6600 i would just get a new motherboard and cpu alltogether, using that old of a cpu will not give you much of a boost at all. Youd do better with a 2500k even but 3570k would be your best bet

My budget is kind of low. I already bought Q6600 and I will install it as soon as I get new PSU. I'm not asking for 60fps at ultra and high resolutions.
I want to play med setting on 1024X748 with solid fps.
And I'm also little confused. I played the smallest map on BF3 at 18fps average while larger one work alot better - around 25fps
