AMD's Sempron 145 and EVGA's 9800GT 512mb aren't working too well together for Battlefield: 3. After about two harrowing hours of playing around with settings after several rounds, my highest frame-rate was fourteen.
Naturally, I've decided to revamp my system. A gentlemen on Ebay sold me a hexa-core Phenom II 1035T, of course, I'm going to overclock it if necessary. So, that component is on it's way to the Hoth-err, Minnesota.
Video card's become a separate issue, I'm looking at some of Radeon's older models of the HD 6000 series. I understand Battlefield: 3 is an exceptionally resource-consuming game, but taking into consideration that I'll be enjoying the game at 1360x768 resolution, I'm a bit concerned that it could be an overkill purchase, especially since I'm considering the 6900 line-up.
Here's what I'm looking for: A Radeon video card that will be able to run Battlefield: 3 at sixty frames per-second, at mostly max settings (lowest shadows, no Motion Blur, no Ambient Occlusion). I'd also like it to be powerful enough to accomplish this task, and have a fair deal of headroom just in case my system gets overwhelmed with an unexpectedly intense combat sequence.
My system is also equipped with eight-gigabytes of DDR3 ram, and an Antec HCP-850 power unit.
Thank you guys so much for reading, and, or, replying.
