[des7ini]

This is my current specs:
AMD Phenom II x4 965 3.4Ghz
RAM 4GB Transcend 1333mhz
GPU MSI 4890 Cyclone 1GB
PSU 740w Corsair
win7 64bit
hdd sata II 500gb 7200rpm


so i want to play bf3 on high or ultra settings and i was wandering what gpu i should get? and if my cpu is not a hidrance for the new gpu,coz i've been told phenom x4 II is a little bit outdated.... my current gpu makes the game very spiky,and it's on low settings....i was wandering aswell if i need 8gb of ram and not only 4....ty in advance

forgot to add that the current money i can spend for anything needed is 300$-400$

tnx 384-bit,so a single 6970 2gb will fix my low fps?

 

[des7ini]

tnx man

@ des7ini
What is your gaming resolution ?
HD 6970 is great but GTX 570 is doing much better in BF3 specifically.

And by the way, you should do pretty good with 4890 in DX10 mode, around 43 FPS @ high quality @ 1680x

um i have a 23'inch monitor 1920x1080 i think

 

[des7ini]

what do you think? gtx 570 or 6970?

 

[ilysaml]

Ok, so you need a high end GPU such as HD 6970 or GTX 570, GTX 570 is doing much better than HD 6970 in particular games such as BF3, Metro 2033, Crysis 2

ok will buy the 750 friday,tnx man it's so annoying playing with the 4890 msi...it's not smooth at all,you can't enjoy the game like that,having the chance to kill 6-7 people and dying because it's not smooth.. :/

So good luck with the GTX 570 gaming power

 

[des7ini]

tho the 570's i can buy arealit GTX 570 (PCI-Express, GDDR5, 1280MB)
TwinTech GTX 570 (PCI-Express, GDDR5, 1280MB)
Sparkle GTX 570 (PCI-Express, GDDR5, 1280MB)
which one is the better choise?

 

[ilysaml]

LOL. Can't you consider MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, EVGA ?

 

[des7ini]

so Palit GTX 570 (PCI-Express, GDDR5, 1280MB) it is!

 

[ilysaml]

If so, check some reviews and feedback on the GPU before you buy it.
Most purchases go to MSI Twin Frozer, Asus Direct CU II, Gigabyte SOC...

Sparkle, Palit, ...bla bla bla.... said to be low quality materials and components
