BF3 maxed out??

[Kappey]

Quick question: Is it possible to run BF3 totally maxed out with Intel i5-3570k, 8GB RAM and GTX 660ti?
Also which GTX 660ti is the best for around 300-350€?

From the reviews on Tom's and other sites i think its best to skip the 660Ti since its plagued with performance issues, shell out a bit more cash get yourself a 670 or get a 7950.

if by max you mean 4x msaa(or lower) or a different form of anti aliasing, yes

Yeah, I am almost set on the GTX 670, but don't know which one to get.

Taking notes from what others suggest on here, i would go with anything that doesn't have a reference design.

Yes.

If it runs on my 560ti 448 Cores which is slightly faster than stock 580 in BF3 at ultra. Then it will run on yours perfectly fine.

Depending on the resolutions, it will play at modest FPS. But multiplayer tears up even the most powerful CPU/GPU configurations.

I've heard there has been some problems with the Asus version. Also is the EVGA GTX 670 FTW better than MSI GTX 670 PE?
I don't have the money to buy a EVGA GTX 670 Superclocked

I have a 660Ti.

I have yet to find these "performance issues"....

 

[ittimjones]

BF3 run's almost the same on just about any CPU. It's a VERY GPU heavy game.

It run's well on almost all highest settings on my 570, 27" @ 1920x1080.

I just had it auto select settings...

You won't find them, because they do not exist. The only problem is that it does not perform as well as it should IN SOME GAMES whan AA is set high. But this is not the case for BF3

1.which card
2.do you use 4X AA+
3.have you overclocked
4.what resolution?

 

[Rockdpm]

you know I have been told mixed things about the 670 sc from evga.. People said it has issues other say it's best card for the money and others say if the card messes up evge replaces it for u with a ftw

So what are you trying to say with this?

Look at the benchmarks you wanted to know about if it could max out BF3 didn't you ?

i think he is saying that in bf3 the 660Ti can still have playable fps at high settings

correct.

 

[Kappey]

Well in these benchmarks the 660ti is almost equal to the 670, or would for say a EVGA 670 FTW totally smoke all the 660ti cards?

that's the differance in high end cards are only 5-10fps and $50-$200

670 is roughly 25% faster than a 660 ti Quote: "As it stands, AMD’s position correctly reflects their performance; the GTX 660 Ti is a solid and relatively consistent 10-15% faster than the 7870, while the 7950 is anywhere between a bit faster to a bit slower depending on what benchmarks you favor. Of course when talking about the 7950 the “anything but equal” maxim still applies here, if not more so than with the GTX 670. The GTX 660 Ti is anywhere 50% ahead of the 7950 and 25% behind it, and everywhere in between."

Im thinking about getting the 670 so which one do you recommend? I get my components fron this website: http://www.jimms.fi/
So could you please search the best one ( In your opinion) for about 400€

 

[bigcyco1]

They are all good my opinion is MSI GTX 670 Power Edition Twin Frozr IV and ASUS GeForce GTX 670 Direct CU II TOP are the best the others are decent like GIGABYTE's GTX 670 Windforce OC and EVGA GTX 670 FTW.

Well, the ASUS GeForce GTX 670 Direct CU II TOP is atleast here in Finland about 40-50€ more expensive than the MSI GTX 670 Power Edition Twin Frozr IV so should I just go for the MSI GTX 670 Power Edition Twin Frozr IV?
