Haha just mid range razer gears bro, cant even compare with those top tier mouse and keyboard like the mechanical black widow. Moreover my hardware are more budget to mid-tier oriented only

That's why, just like u, i'm worried that the i3 2100's body is not ready for BF3 . Although my body is

Quad core is recommended... for current games...

i see
i don't worry much about gpu since HD 5770 should support 1366x768 fully without problem

HD5770 on 1366 x 768 reso is all good. No worries. Problem is , the damn cpu lol. Well, maybe just wait and see how it scales after the beta. Already set half of my crosshair on the i5 2400.

I don't see games nowadays utilize all the core.

You can start with RE5 and upward.

same
building HTPC > Minimum Gaming > Half Gaming Low End Rig
from amd athlon x3 into i3 2100

from gt210 into HD5770

can't cfx either ==''
new upgrade cost 1k
new mobo with maybe ivy bridge procs
for now
just if can't play high settings

U r right. 80% of current games still ultilize 2 cores...... and just like those experts at techspot.com stated, a strong dual core like the 2nd gen intel processor will do for gaming. Actual performance depends on game engines and and basically MMO games with heavy physics and LOTS of players like battlefield 3 run best on quad cores.

There are still plenty of current games especially for single player, which only require dual cores to run smoothly. Dragon age 2 , dead space 2 , starcraft 2 , bulletstorm , brink and even crysis 2 and dont say hyper threading is just a gimmick because it works on crysis 2. Go to techspot and read their benchmark, see why can an intel core i5 540 run crysis2 flawlessly. It's bcos of hyperthreading and when compared to AMD's phenom II x2 without HT, it's just a no contest. Dual cores sandy bridge cpus ran GTAIV better and faster than a tri core phenom, and here, again, thanks to hyperthreading and raw power of intel's cpu. The Witcher 2 pushed quad cores to 60% cpu usage which in terms of dual core it'll be close to max & in short, PLAYABLE.


Those who still using the 2nd generation i3 dual cores shud hang in there & wait for actual gameplay of the final product b4 deciding 2 go with quad, bcos sandy bridge processors are very powerful,.dont worry too much about it yet.

am on i5 760 460gtx sli 4gb ram. runnin 3d vision 23" optx monitor. u think its possible running bf3 in highest details high resolution?

Not highest , maybe around medium could get...

tehe, just preordered retail from tsb

I've ordered from tsb too~~ Just have to wait for tsb confirm my payment.
Really can't wait to play this GAME!!!

lolololol, GTX 460 SLI if cannot cucuk kuku already.
but then maybe need to wait for few days before got driver for that game, hopefully.

Lol , replying on mobile...
can't see clearly... @_@

Though....
micro stutter issit happen when SLI/CF ?

does CF/SLI work on BF3 alpha trial ??

mine doesnt work , driver 11.7 here,

it just terrible lag, below fps 32 all the time

single 5870 runs at 60-80 though

No drivers were updated for SLI/CF set ups...
They were only there to stress test the server and key features of the game...

hope gpu manufacturer can make really good multi gpu support after this game officially released,

bfbc2 multi gpu not good thought

A word of advice Sandy bridge not yet stable.

which means SLI multi gpu are still not stable?
I m planning to change my pc to SLI lately....

I don't see i'm having problem bro.
