so u all probably believed that *** about 2 gtx 580 but have u checked beta benchmarks probably not those 2 run an avg of 78 fps and most of u probably dont know that this game was preordered 7 times more than bfbc2 :O thats alot of people so how many ppl actually have that huge graphics power most of them also dont wanna max it but still 2 gtx 580 to max a game thats a joke moreover dual gtx 580 will cost u around 1000$$ all the other new games need a gtx 460 around 150$$ maybe to be maxed out lets just say 200$$ worth graphics can max out any game out there so how many times did u have to pay 5 times the money just for graphics to max out a new version of a game and its even same directx but the most important question u have to ask your selfs is how much money dice got off nvidia to say this crap yea and its even from twitter not official u cant sue them

a single non ti will be able to max it at 1600x900 at playable fps around 30 so as for ti but more fps for ti a 570 is more than enough for 1920x1080 at playable fps if the 5850 was able to max it out in beta at 1920x1080 then thats what im expecting

I am at least one of a few I know of who spent the 1200 dollars more or less necessary for the super 580's in SLI. I specifically built my system to subdue BF3 Retail to a playable state. Not necessarily the eye candy.

Remember, Hardware is a weapon in gaming online.

Advertised in Toms from time to time are custom systems costing you 4 to 8 thousand dollars in which you can have both zero degree frosted cold and 3 or 4 cards. Those systems will just about crush anything out there.

LOL all you want. See you in the Battlefield.

Who told you that? :lol: 2 580s aren't going to stop you from sucking online.

2 580s is a great choice no doubt about that, but way too excessive specifically for BF3.

Ha ha ha. /sarc

If my runt build is excessive why do Gamers pant after the latest and greatest reviews and announcements like hormone filled teenagers chasing the object of lust? Is it not one and the same? Money is no object if someone could build and run a Bulldozer system right now for the BF3 beta tomorrow.

Consider that.

Now that I got that out of my system... I explain further to reinforce that hardware becomes too old fast. So any time you buy something with basic strength and capacity to withstand at least a year of future game releases, the less you have to spend worrying about replacing it.

It was BFBC2 that finally forced me off single core into dual and then quad core.

If I valued your opinion your strange ramblings might of meant something to me.

I say again (as you seem to have trouble reading)....2 580s is a great choice no doubt about that, but way too excessive specifically for BF3.

Hey O.P throw a period in there every once and a while.

Good hardware won't help you in online gaming, the people who really care and are good at those games don't always have great systems, but they play at the absolute lowest settings possible. Whenever I ask someone owning my on Crysis 2 what they have it's usually something like a HD 4850 and they are playing at 800x600 in the lowest settings because they dont want any slow downs and dont want eye candy distracting them.

Yet another secret revealed.

Also, Imagine BF3 on the lowest setting on the fastest hardware. Or any game for that matter. Meh, MW2 is flawless at max detail anyway. Very lethal at lowest.

WAW CoD was the first retail game to burden hardware badly. It was barely playable in retail single, and hardly survivable in multiplayer. So I started to change from bottom feeding yesterday's has been hardware to the other extreme; the latest and strongest; cost be damned.

This.

Pro SC2 players like to play on low settings too, to increase FPS and to see invisible units.

Your average gamer wants to be relatively competitive while enjoying the benefits of the sweet GPU they paid 400 bucks for.

Haha fail.. I'm doing high, no anti aliasing, 1080p on my 6870.
 


alright enough with this already I see you say this in every thread, you will not come close to maxing out the game at 1080p, maybe on low or medium but nowhere near ultra,

to me maxing out in BF3 or any game means ultra settings (or highest settings available) at your given resolution and highest AA/AF settings or at least 4xaa 16xaf, while maintaining 50+ fps the entire time

I think he is been deadly serious jjb8675309.

Judging by his posts he doesn't seem very....well to put it nicely....bright ;)

He also believes you need 2 GTX 580s just for Battlefield 3 to be in a "playable state", which is bull****, a single 580 can max it.

Just to show I'm not telling porkies, thats 68FPS @ 1080 maxed, no explosions or anything going on either.
