2,5k IS cutting edge, it's however definitely not too much for gaming, to run games as witcher 2 or battlefield 3 on maxed settings with a good 80+ fps you definitely need to spend 2k.


This is very, very, very misleading information and far from truth.

I run BF3 on max settings @ 1080p at 80+ FPS and my entire system cost me about $1k over a year ago. You can max it out with current hardware for around $800 I would imagine.

EDIT: WTF. So much bad information in this thread about hardware...

About $800 will get you a CPU + Mobo + RAM + GPU that will max out any game for at least a year, more than likely two. Where are all of you people buying your parts from that are so overpriced!? Like, the entire last two pages of this thread is full of people spending twice as much as they should be on hardware =/

I'm going to tell you, you did not max Battlefield 3. All you played were medium settings even if you put the settings to ultra it wasn't actually maxed settings. Dice is holding back a lot of the graphics or so they said anyway.

I do agree though that you could spend 1k and max any game except for possibly Battlefield 3. According to them to be able to play at 1920 by 1200 with 60 fps you need 2 gpu's and not a single gpu can do it.

When I think of something else, something will go here

My friends and I got together to build me a computer that would run BF3 on max settings at 1920x1080 with a framerate that never dips below 30. We ended up making it for about 1400 USD, rounded up, with two 570s and an i7. Runs the beta fine. I think that's about as cheap as you can go. This doesn't include monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc, just everything that goes in the computer case.

I thought they stated that the max settings in retail will be a couple notches above max settings in the beta?

I run a Phenom II X6 1090T, Radeon 5870, and 4GB RAM. FPS never dropped below 60 on Caspian Border and average fluctuated between 70 and 85 with all settings available during the beta set to max.

Was also able to stream @720p while playing with zero issues, so CPU was more than adequate it would seem.

EDIT: Also to note is ATI GPUs handle the game vastly better than Nvidia GPUs do. An equally priced ATI card tends to get nearly double the framerate of an NVIDIA card does at the moment. Dunno how well NVIDIA can tweak their drivers before release but that gap should close a bit.

I promise you you will not be able to max out BF3 with your hardware, and your claim of ATIs doubling the FPS is BS. They might perform slightly better, but DOUBLING the FPS?

Are you a troll? How can you promise me I can't do something that's already been done? I have the RTM build of BF3 and the graphical requirements are only about 10% more than what the beta required. Please stop trolling and misleading people when you have zero evidence to back up your claims.

Dice said you can't run it maxxed at 1920 by 1200 with 60 fps with a single gpu. Thats the evidence. Also Beta was not full settings as said many times so you haven't done it.

How have you done it already, the game hasn't been released yet and ultra was locked in the beta, as someone already stated. I'm not sure which settings were unlocked during beta, but someone posted earlier that it was locked at medium. My FPS never dipped below 60 during the beta maxed out, but I'm certain that I wont be able to max it out at true ultra while getting good FPS.

And as just stated in the post above you I also have the release client and the graphics only take about a 10% hit when bumped up. 80 FPS in beta turns into 72 FPS in retail, not to mention plenty of single-GPU setups were pushing 80+ during the beta. You're basically arguing that factual data is wrong simply because DICE, who by the way has released nothing to substantiate their claims, says something different.

As stated above I have the release client of the game. There are no locked or missing settings. It's only about a 10% increase in the amount of hardware required to run the retail client. If you were getting 60 FPS in beta you'll get about 54 FPS in retail.

You said RTM build, I figured it meant release from context (I've never heard of the acronym before) but if others are spending 1500-2500 on a PC to max out bf3 i doubt they'd be able to figure it out

Anyways why do you have a release build :S

After you guys have played beta, iIs the hype for this game still living on and it will be the foretold revolution in multiplayer fps, or definetly not ?
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Protip:
they hadnt added high in beta.
even if you picked high, you got medium.
they tweeted this several times.

edit:
they've also said it will be impossible to max it in high res and 60+ fps without crossfire/sli.

This made me laugh since the game is developed for NVIDIA cards and work better for them because of it.
NVIDIA is also known to have better drivers, usually they have more expensive cards, but lately they have more affordable cards too.
Just go to any hardware site and look where you get must performance per dollar.
Nice attempt to troll though.

Like, the entire last two pages of this thread is full of people spending twice as much as they should be on hardware =/


Protip:
they hadnt added high in beta.
even if you picked high, you got medium.
they tweeted this several times.

edit:
they've also said it will be impossible to max it in high res and 60+ fps without crossfire/sli.

This made me laugh since the game is developed for NVIDIA cards and work better for them because of it.
NVIDIA is also known to have better drivers, usually they have more expensive cards, but lately they have more affordable cards too.
Just go to any hardware site and look where you get must performance per dollar.
Nice attempt to troll though.

I run BF3 on max settings @ 1080p at 80+ FPS and my entire system cost me about $1k over a year ago. You can max it out with current hardware for around $800 I would imagine.


What are your specs?


I run a Phenom II X6 1090T, Radeon 5870, and 4GB RAM. FPS never dropped below 60 on Caspian Border and average fluctuated between 70 and 85 with all settings available during the beta set to max.

Was also able to stream @720p while playing with zero issues, so CPU was more than adequate it would seem.

I promise you you will not be able to max out BF3 with your hardware


Are you a troll? How can you promise me I can't do something that's already been done? I have the RTM build of BF3 and the graphical requirements are only about 10% more than what the beta required. Please stop trolling and misleading people when you have zero evidence to back up your claims.


Dice said you can't run it maxxed at 1920 by 1200 with 60 fps with a single gpu. Thats the evidence. Also Beta was not full settings as said many times so you haven't done it.


As posted earlier in this thread: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ak0wTRjWqvcOdGpjNURkVUtzRWYyVXludkpCWXpsOVE&hl=en_US#gid=2

And as just stated in the post above you I also have the release client and the graphics only take about a 10% hit when bumped up. 80 FPS in beta turns into 72 FPS in retail, not to mention plenty of single-GPU setups were pushing 80+ during the beta. You're basically arguing that factual data is wrong simply because DICE, who by the way has released nothing to substantiate their claims, says something different.

How have you done it already, the game hasn't been released yet and ultra was locked in the beta, as someone already stated. I'm not sure which settings were unlocked during beta, but someone posted earlier that it was locked at medium. My FPS never dipped below 60 during the beta maxed out, but I'm certain that I wont be able to max it out at true ultra while getting good FPS.


As stated above I have the release client of the game. There are no locked or missing settings. It's only about a 10% increase in the amount of hardware required to run the retail client. If you were getting 60 FPS in beta you'll get about 54 FPS in retail.


You said RTM build, I figured it meant release from context (I've never heard of the acronym before) but if others are spending 1500-2500 on a PC to max out bf3 i doubt they'd be able to figure it out

Anyways why do you have a release build :S


Ah, my apologies. RTM means "release to manufacturing" and is basically what you call the build that gets sent out to put on media. They use it for software... not sure if games are different. Also known as going gold.

I can't tell you why I have a release build, but I've had it since about halfway through the beta. It's freely available now via the internet, though. *cough*

$2.5k is pretty much cutting edge. More than you need for any kind of gaming unless you play on 3 to 6 monitors on maxed settings. For the more realistic (less hardcore) PC gamers, you can pick up the parts to build a PC that will run BF3 on high for about $700-$900


2,5k IS cutting edge, it's however definitely not too much for gaming, to run games as witcher 2 or battlefield 3 on maxed settings with a good 80+ fps you definitely need to spend 2k.


This is very, very, very misleading information and far from truth.

I run BF3 on max settings @ 1080p at 80+ FPS and my entire system cost me about $1k over a year ago. You can max it out with current hardware for around $800 I would imagine.

EDIT: WTF. So much bad information in this thread about hardware...

Ok seriously, just stop now. All you're doing is trying to start drama. Have you even played the game at all? Anyone in the beta would know that the NVIDIA drivers were/are terrible for BF3 performance right now and the ATI drivers were very solid.

You don't seem to understand at all that we're talking about Battlefield 3 performance. "Just go to any hardware site and look where you get must performance per dollar." doesn't even apply to this conversation at all, wtf. You literally are just trying to derail the thread and troll :/
