Bf3 rig that will run bf3 on ultra around $600

[paolo220]

I wish u guys can give me a rig that will run it on ultra thanks guy

 

[mercer95]

$600 is impossible to play at ultra, the graphics card alone will cost $400.

You need at least a HD7850 (~260USD) and a powerful quad- or hexacore CPU (~150-200USD) to run BF3 on ultra @ 1080p WITHOUT AA.
You are probably looking at at least 800USD for a complete "BF3-on-ultra" rig.
If you also want anti-aliasing, then you'll have to spend even more.

Not doable for $600

This would for $695 if you heavily OC the CPU

$695

Now that does not include windows so theres more expense if you dont have it already. The GPU is an old model famous for sucking power and running hot but it will do what you want and is the most grunt we can get and still try to fit your budget. You can save cash if you have an old SATA HDD or DVD drive lying around and recycle them.

will this be able to max out all my games inckuding bf3

 

[vrumor]

Isnt this like the 3rd or 4th thread youve started asking basically the same thing in the last week?

 

[geekapproved]

Sure it's possible, but you haven't even told us what resolution your talking about.

If your monitor is 1280x1024, you could do it for about $450.

 

[paolo220]

Yes this is the last one i will ask cause im buying the rig tomorrow

 

[nekulturny]

will this be able to max out all my games inckuding bf3

That'll do it, yes.

 

[jaguarskx]

Performance depends on the resolutions you want to play at. The lower you set the resolution the more performance you will get as you increase the graphics quality.

*Fast talking disclaimer guys you hear on commercials* This average is based on 6 games tested by Don Woligroski, there are in fact 1000s of games on the market, and these findings purely represent a hand selected group of games which are known for being more CPU intensive than others. The fact is the vast majority of the games on the market are not particularly CPU intensive, and the video card is most often the limiting factor. None of these benches include Battlefield 3 in mulitiplayer which is known to require a quad core CPU to play in high resolutions at ultra settings. Prices and participation may vary see your local store for details.

 

[amuffin]

Reminds me, I'm gonna see if i can get this 480 sometime
$210 http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0386227

 

[nekulturny]

480s are a hell of a deal right now, I would.

 

[paolo220]

Best answer selected by paolo220.

 

[expensivecomputer]

the funny thing is no one has really specified what FRAME RATES the OP wants.

Hell some stupid people think 30 fps is more than enough for shooting games, some think 60 is good, some want 120 (obviously the higher the better it is for first person shooters (if u have 120hz monitor)).

If OP wants shitty 30 fps, sure he can do it for 600$. Figure that out first, then figure out his build based on what he wants for frame rates.

 

[vrumor]

DOnt need to figure out anything this guy posted on 2 different accounts over 2 weeks asking the same questions over and over til someone gave him the answers he wanted. Itll be a shite system, but at least hes done posting.

 

[wr6133]

Wouldn't touch the 480 myself either but it was the only way to get close to what the OP wanted and near budget.

I think "shite" is a bit strong vrumor it'll get the job done though the GPU will be able to double up as the heating system for his house/shack/cave

 

[anxiousinfusion]

$600 is impossible to play at ultra, the graphics card alone will cost $400.

Hold on, there. My stock clocked 560 ti is fine on ultra settings. OP just needs to throw a *little* more money at this build, maybe ~750.

 

[nekulturny]

:lol:

All I can say is, I say hi on facebook like you ask and you sayz nothin back...

 

[nekulturny]

Good, I genuinely am curious about that question I asked you. I've always assumed, from what has been said many times over the months on the forum. I guess now it has to be proven.

 

[nekulturny]

We MUST KNOW BRO!

 

[wr6133]

Hold on, there. My stock clocked 560 ti is fine on ultra settings. OP just needs to throw a *little* more money at this build, maybe ~750.

Yeah 560ti stock running BF3 at full ultra.... if you claim any resolution higher than 640X480 show us proof because a 570ti struggles with full ultra at 1080p and 60FPS

I'm not a stupid person, but I don't have a problem with 30 FPS in a first person shooter.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-fx-pentium-apu-benchmark,3120-4.html

Obviously less than 60FPS HAS to be good enough because an i5-2500K overclocked with a $600 video card can't do it either.


Wait?! Did he just say an i5 can't do something? Oh gurl.. no he did-ent!

I'm on 1440 x 900 and it's a FPB model. I'm just saying you don't need to spend $400 to get decent framerates.

 

[nekulturny]

Depends on what you call "decent" I suppose. Until someone can prove to me that 120FPS and 60FPS have a noticeable difference that isn't a placebo-effect, I'm not impressed. I'll contend that maybe 30 FPS and 60FPS will matter to some people, but all I can say to that is when we watch a movie on the big screen in a theater, we're watching it at 24FPS. And yes, I understand that a video game is more interactive, so 24FPS may not be enough.
