Not a chance.

BF3 is a monster and you have a mid-range CPU with a mid-range graphics card.

BF3 cannot be played on ultra with that high of an average FPS with a single card setup.

Yes indeed, but that is single player, demands alot less from the GPU. My 6970 handles BF3 on Ultra 1080p quite well tho!
 
my 6870 + athlon 2 x3 handles high fairly well on 64 player maps, not ultra, just high (I was getting good fps on ultra + no AA but my fps would drop every like 4 seconds down to 2fps... lag spikes.)

Oh alright I see. So I suppose with THAT setup I will be able to play BF3 at High with 4x AA without any problems right?

Also, what other CPU WITHIN that budget would you recommend? I was going for the i5 2500k but I am not looking for an expensive gaming rig yet. Thank you.
 


Why not an i5 2400. It should be like FX6100+$10-15, and it should perform extremely well.

edit: Hmm my bad. the cheapest i5 at newegg is atm at $179 while FX6100 is at $149. But its worth every $ you will spend more.

Splendid
Not one person has asked about resolution :pfff:

my 2500K machine with a single 6950 @ 1280x720 Ultra 4xAA hovers around 100fps; 1600x900 Ultra 4xAA hovers around 60fps; etc, etc

The point is, it depends on the resolution your running.

I'm running 1920x1080. In other words, what processor would BEST fit for a 30-50 FPS performance at High/with some to Ultra and AA?

Would the GTX 560 TI be better than the 6870? If yes, how better?

you will get about 30 fps with 2xaa and if none with high settings then 40-50.

Alright then, what other Intel processor or even AMD would you recommend in the budget I have that could run BF3 and not bottleneck the GPU?

between amd and intel i will choose intel for gaming and amd for multitasking.

your cpu will be fine and not bottleneck your gpu.

if u have fx 6100 already then ok but if you are thinking to buy then buy a intel i5 2500k in littlebit higher price.

I don't have any of those specs. I am planning to upgrade my PC and I need something that can last for a couple of years without having problems running the newer games.

so wait for ivy bridge if u want advanced performance i think they will launch it till april or buy i5 2500k for now or more higher but not a fx 6100.

ok so that setup will be ok fx 6100 will be ok or if u can buy then buy a phenom ii x 980be which gives more performance in gaming then the fx 6100 and will not bottleneck that card.:)
