hi everyone.. i was just wondering why am i still getting low fps even with low setting my my rig ( its not top end tho )...

CPU : C2D 2.4
Ram : 4GB DDR3
GPU : Asus 560 OC 1 Gb
system : win 7 32bit

getting bout 30 on low settings...

is ur processor from the Jurassic age?

you blind bro?

Might need to change to a quad or i3 at least

boohoo, will a SSD help ? really dont want to upgrade cpu till next yeat ivy- bidge

umadbro?

Its obvious that your processor is the main bottleneck. A quick google search shows that those who used the same processor as yours (assuming that ur processor is E6600 judging by the clock speed) all suffer from low frame rate.

Its either you get a cheap LGA 775 quad core processor, or you can wait for ivy bridge to come out while u make do with what you have atm.

Or you can go grab a cheap i3 while waiting. It performs roughly on par with its i5/i7 brothers in BF3.

nah ill wait for ivy bridge,ivy bridge is going to use the same socket as sandy?

i am however still tweaking my whatever settings, i just didnt like the way you replied when i ask "is ur processor from the Jurassic age?" if really jurassic age , i cant even turn on, coz all rocks.

i do how ever get 1 main problem , from a stable 25-35 fps, i get a shuttering 1-3 fps , normally happens during each match once .. anyone else having the same problem?

oc your proc. 2.4ghz definitely suffer for bf3. dual core run just fine for bf3...I test it my self although it constantly 100% cpu running...but mine run at 3.8ghz

i thikn ill stick to factory first , coz later i want to sell it when i change to ivy :/

btw if i do overclock, to at least 3ghz what cooler is recomanded which wont cost me an arm and a leg price and is there a guide for it?

Im using AMD Anthlon X2 and it runs fine.....

enough space? btw no need to do any voltmoding right? just the stock volt enough right? for 3.0

ya the space...
width space to be exact...

before this i cannot close side lid of my pc thanks to that cooler...
change to CM Elite 430 then only can close...
even with that casing it only give me around 1-2 cm left...

wow thats really a omega huge! i got to ask about that cooler fan, the one facing the front panel is pushing air in while the one facing the back casing is pulling?

you PSU is bottom version? my PSU is top will that effect anything like the PSU air intake and cpu heat sink?

yup the front push and the back pull...
stock fan only 1...
and its push...

i just add another fan as push...
and change the stock fan to pull...

yup my PSU is at the bottom...
dunno if it affecting PSU air intake or not...
need to ask someone who use same cooler with top PSU...
