Can I run Battlefield 3 & 4 ?

dardan10 · Oct 10, 2014

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to know if I can run Battlefield 3 & 4 at even the lowest settings with resolution 800x600 because I want performance not quality, I dont play games at high resolution, so here are the specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.4 GHz E6600 4MB L2 Cache
4.00GB DDR2 333mhz Hynix
NVIDIA GeForce 210 1GB ( OverClocked about at the maximum

)
80GB HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Your specs do not meet the minimum system requirements. You'll need to upgrade the GPU and RAM.

Doubt it. Low end CPU and GPU, with only 4GBs of ram.

Im sure i can run them but at what fps is the question :$

4745454b · Oct 10, 2014

0-5FPS.

Cons29 · Oct 10, 2014

sorry, but cpu is too old. and that gpu is not meant for gaming even back in its day, so esp for today

For what single or multiplayer? Multiplayer there's absolutely no way your going to be able to play it.

dardan10 · Oct 10, 2014

No im going to play Single Player, I am able to play any game that I wanted with these specs so i wanted to know if i can run bf, i played sniper ghost warrior 2 at around 40 fps, hot pursuit 45 fps, cod modern warfare 2 50+ fps and these games are hardcore games too like bf ...

I agree with the rest of the comments here, you may be able to launch the game but even at the lowest settings, the frame rate will make it unplayable. Minimum system requirements don't necessarily mean the game will be playable.

dardan10 · Oct 10, 2014

OK, so I'm going to install bf3 these days to look what fps i will get,,, stay tuned guys

ImDaBaron · Oct 10, 2014

If it even opens BF3 that'll be an accomplishment

Joseph DeGarmo · Oct 10, 2014

If you absolutely want to run those games, you will need to at least get a compatible Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz CPU, 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz RAM, and a GT 640 1 GB GDDR5 GPU. Or you can just get a gaming console. Those are your only options.

He needs DDR2 RAM I assume. Can get 8GB DDR2 off of ebay for around 60$ and a Core 2 DUo E8600 for around 40$. Then get the GT640 for around 80$ and you are set. You will have to play on low settings, but you will get 30fps.

dardan10 · Oct 16, 2014

REALLY GUYS??? INSTALLED BATTLEFIELD 3 AND PLAYED WITHOUT ANY KIND OF LAG! LOW SETTINGS BUT 32 FPS!!!

Joseph DeGarmo · Oct 16, 2014

I assume you must be playing at 640x480 resolution.

800x600 bro

Hello guys, sorry to intrude, but I will be getting into PC gaming sometime this month and BF3 was one of the games I wanted to play. My set up is similar to Dardar10 (Intel Core2 E6600 @ 2.4 Ghz, 8GB RAM, and has a XFX Radeon HD 7750). Do you think it would play well or just minimum? Also what kind of settings do you guys think it can comfortably play Skyrim on at around 30 fps? Thanks and sorry again if I intruded to this threat. Also hope you're having fun dardar10.

TruenoICE :

You'll be able to play on low settings with 30fps on BF3

TruenoICE · Oct 16, 2014

Ok, Thanks axehead.

TruenoICE · Oct 16, 2014

Would I be able to play multiplayer or will that strain my PC?

Cons29 · Oct 16, 2014

well, just my opinion, if you enjoy the game with that settings then good for you. none of our opinion matters as long as you enjoyed the game.
i play bf3 bf4 (got my brother a free copy of bf3 so i came back to bf3 also), these are good games. buggy in the start as always, but good game nonetheless

axehead15 · Oct 17, 2014

TruenoICE :

You'll be able to do multiplayer. I built a cheap PC for my brother using old parts with an E8600, 8GB RAM, and a GTX 9800. He can play multiplayer fine on that with low graphics. You will be fine, even though your CPU is a little less powerful.

Can I run Battlefield 3 & 4 ?
