I thinks it's a safe bet that a GTX560Ti would be able to handle mostly HIGH settings. We shall wait till the open beta to try then.

looks like imma play bf3 with med settings with my gtx460....

Some people are just fine with medium settings. But me ar...i want to see pimples on the soldier's face lol. (if there are any )

Call of Duty ad replaced by massive BF3 billboard in Germany



German ad agency Cross/Contact provides here a short video walkthrough of their recent work: replacing a Call of Duty Black Ops ad with a massive Battlefield 3 ad in the German city of Köln. According to the agency, the Battlefield 3 ad will be viewable to over 100,000 daily passers, and will remain visible over the next 90 days. We’ve previously seen large Battlefield 3 billboards across the UK, and now it appears that they’re spreading across the rest of Europe.

EA: Call of Duty will be over in 2-3 years
The ranting just continues



The mudslinging between EA and Activision seems to never end. While developers DICE and Infinity Ward have taken a more diplomatic approach, their parent companies are having none of that. Over the past few months, EA’s bosses, including the CEO, have attacked Activision, saying everything from Battlefield 3 is designed to take down Call of Duty, to EA CEO John Ricitiello famously saying that Call of Duty “will rot from the core” (one of our favorite quotes of the year).

Activision’s Eric Hirshberg recently complained that EA’s trash talking was bad for the industry, and EA’s response, from EA’s corporate communications’ Jeff Brown:

“

Honestly, we’ll go on a limb here and say that we prefer the mudslinging and trash talk instead of the PR-crafted statements where the companies talk a lot and say nothing. It makes it that much more interesting to hear and feel that EA and Activision are real competitors, and they’re gearing up to the biggest FPS battle ever.

A boxing match wouldn’t be the same without the pre-fight debacle that usually takes place, which serves to heighten the tension and anticipation to the fight.

so much rage in the industry

the fuu...why they so pro draw like that

yeah i know...well we shall see when the beta comes out. if problem also nvm la...just sell my old graphic card & get the new gen card next year. during sem break can work part time ma

yea im also waiting for the BETA 1st...then see how.

Hmm guys look at this AMD A8 Hybrid CrossFireX with HD6670..

His settings:
1920x1080
Level of Details: Medium
Texture: High
Shadow: Medium
Effects: Medium
AA: 2x MSAA
AF: X8



Here is the multiplayer with 32 players and preset MEDIUM setting.




My E2180@3.4GHz and Asus EAH5770 CuCore 900MHz/1300MHz
1920x1080
Level of Details: High
Texture: High
Shadow: Medium
Effects: Medium
AA: 1x MSAA
AF: X16

Only manage to get 2X-3X fps ..... only sometimes got 4X fps..

How about mine?? I know its an outdated version and some of u might doubt my spec will work(Its a 2008 rig ><), but I wanna know some of your opinions will my spec run BF3 MP? Some say can run as long its low settings, some say it wont even support 16 players in the map(FTW) and the most wackiest answer is with directx11 is enuf adi(WTF). I can play BFBC2 SP with Advanced settings(All max) in 1680x1000+ reso since my lcd screen is 27 inch..I know it sounded repetitive but i need assurance from u all..If not, I might need to ditch the pc ver and go for the PS3 one(need to up rm30 for TSB ><)..Here are the specs and giv me ur honest opinions and comments(Plzz dont say upgrade, i dont think i can upgrade this year )

Manufacturer: System manufacturer
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.5GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Hard Drive: 79 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)

I am 100% sure that your CPU is not enough to run the game adequately. Your fps was limited by ur CPU.

You need at least quad core to play the game smoothy. I have a 3 cores CPU b4..and it lagged badly in bc2. I got only around 30 to 50 (60max) fps in bc2. After upgrading the cpu..immediately jumped up to 70~90 fps with the same GPU.

found a website of rough estimation of performance by some russians, this is alpha though might not be accurate

mm not bad my 5770 still ok hehe play medium lo

thanks for the link...not bad...not bad...so gtx560 Ti fps is quite good...havent include driver support plus game performance optimization...so maybe can play at high settings

So can i just use core 2 duo to play till the lowest(Dont know how low can go LOL) settings? I could reduce the lag rate by reducing reso to maybe at least 1080x900( Since I still wan some eyecandy), if no choice till 800x600...

Don forget Alpha was running at DX9 from what i have heard.. the real game is in DX11...i estimate a drop of 5~10% in fps from tht estimated graphs. Not trying to 'pour cold water' here..but expect the worst to avoid big disappointment lol.

If your CPU is really holding back your GPU...reducing settings/resolution will not increase the FPS(maybe 5fps increase only). This is the case that happened to my old rig. You should know that BC2 is a CPU dependent game.

6950 only 56 fps at max......fffffff

Hmm alright..If the Cpu is the one causing hell..I think i will just switch the cpu to quad core or the i series...Gonna have to change motherboard and ram...

You have pre ordered from origin right? Wait for the beta and see how it goes. If the fps is good enough for you..then no need upgrade. Or save up for the new intel lga2011 and new series of gtx6xx and hd7xxx gpu.

Nvidia already announce no new series this year.

Not sure about ati though
