Can I Max out BF3?

[Mid-highgfx]

Everything, EVERYTHING! on max settings, with an oc http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125384 (yes, even more oc'ed > and my phenom II b40 unlocked quad core proc oc' to 3.6 and 4 gigs of ddr3 1600 ripjaws? thanks @ 1900x1200

Simple answer is Yes!

 

[redeemer]

Yes you definitely can, but drop X6 1090t in there for good measure

 

[lozz08]

Simple answer is no!

 

[Mid-highgfx]

what the hell? yes or no? LOL


btw, for gaming, x6>x4?

 

[Supernova1138]

For gaming, X4 is usually better value than X6. No games are threaded enough to use more than 4 cores. BF3 might be heavily threaded enough to benefit from the X6, but it's hard to say for sure unless someone can dig up a benchmark on that. The 570 will do quite well with most games, only the most demanding titles would cause it to struggle. It might not be able to max out BF3, but we won't know that for sure until the game actually comes out. The 570 does perform well in the Beta, it would depend on how much eyecandy is added to the final game.

Well im asking BF3 as a benchmark since i currently struggle on BF2 bc with my 4890... >_< i dont think my current proc is gonna bottleneck my 570 right? 3.6 quad core unlocked and oc.

Is there a typo? like not 580 but 570 instead?

 

[Supernova1138]

The 570 would perform quite similar to the Radeon HD 6970 seen on that benchmark. I think the 570 would be slightly faster than the 6970 in BF3, not by a huge amount, probably by only a few FPS.

Cant be many frames noticing how close the HD6970 is to GTX580!

Are you sure that's the 580? Id think it be higher...hm...

 

[gnomio]

6970 same performance as 570

Btw, What motherboard should i get in like a year (so that the prices are lowered) that will have the best (almost x2) scaling performance with 2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125384 in Xfire? Also, should i get one that supports the new FX processors and if so, should i get a six or 4 core proc? Thanks!

bf3 actually runs nicely at 40fps.

sorry bro......your gonna need more than that to "max out" every setting.....but seriously what are you losing out on by knocking it down to 1600x900....usually stuffs fly'n by so fast you cant see all that detail anyway........by brother plays competitively and he drops his on purpose

 

[gnomio]

Whats your budget for the cpu + mobo?

how about a Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB Toxic, with Unlocking switch – $289.99

for 325 you can get the 2500k and the BIOSTAR TZ68A+ LGA1155 Z68. But no CFX with that mobo sadly.

 

[badtaylorx]

you didn't mention your mobo.....if you have a newer 990fx chipset or an sli board with a nvidia chipset why dont you drop an extra 30$ bucks on

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 28Fermi%29

you'd have a much better chance of "maxx'n" with that setup

no sli support

howzabout crossfire

I could do that, but isint the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125384 much faster when OC'ed?

price diffrence is only like 50 bucks so thats not an issue.
