Greetings all
I have an A8 3850, 8GB DDR3 RAM and Asus mobo and HD6670 software overclocked. Will i be able to run BF4 on ultra settings if I swop out the 6670 with a PowerColor AX7950? If not ultra maybe Very High?
Thanks again

High-ultra settings with the 7950 (might be a bottleneck, not too sure because I am not that good at identifying bottlenecks thoroughly)http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=3060&game=Battlefield+4&p_make=AMD&p_deriv=APU+A8-3850+Quad+Core&gc_make=ATI&gc_deriv=Radeon+HD+7950+PowerColor+PCS%2B+Edition&ram=8&screenRes_width_FPS=1920&screenRes_height_FPS=1080&checkSubmit=#systemRequirements
But keep in mind these are not the final requirements, they can change for better or for worse when the game is released

Greetings, let me explain u how it works..u need a graphic card at least a Gtx 660ti for ultra setting bf3 at minimum 60 fps..or a 7950boost for AMD, minimum 60 fps(so i guess even grater than that fr bf4)

...this is what matters..secondary but still important is the Cpu.
Cpu is secondary cz GPU handle the graphics. Still though, GPU sents the processes to CPU so if u dont have a good Cpu u might bottleneck ur vga card. You must have a good single-threated performance to easily play games. AMD is good for multi-threated performance (for example.multi means u are watching a movie and u are listening to music and encoding a video.) (single.is playing a game)

i have a Q6600 2.4Ghz and i wanted to buy a gtx 760 but i was held back for bottlenecking. I learned that from 60 fps where normal gaming is at ultra with gtx760 with a good CPU, my Q6600 with reduce it to 50 fps.I overclocked at 3.5 ghz and gained 5 fps or so (depends on the game.) here is a comparison to my Q6600 with your processor (A8 3850)

and here is a comparison between your processor and a new processor that can hadle easily a gtx 760 and more.

*the graphs show that there equal but we are interested in single treated.(A8 is good at graphics, but it wont matter cz u will have a dedicated gpu.)

*PS pla do correct me if i am wrong. :)
**My oppinion...buy 1) Asus mobo about 250$ 2) Gigabyte 760 or 770 gtx 250$ or 300$ 3)i5 3570k 250$ 4)tagan PSU 500W 250$ here u are now are a gamer :D
