1stly change the GC to HD7970 , and upgrade ram to 4-8gb , buy a cooler for your processor to play with overclock . total cost would be around RM1.5-2.5k depending on what brand of GC u bought

QUOTE(Neo|ofGeo @ Jun 10 2012, 08:53 AM) ....dude are you high? i will try to understand what you are trying to say here , so basically you are saying that his processor would affect the HD7970 ? , well if thats the case then i have to agree , but bare in mind he said as low as possible the budget , what i am trying to give him is a suggestion to slowly upgrade his pc , yes 7970 is pricy but once you cleared on GC , you can just spend another 500-1k on motherboard and a decent processor , but i am not so sure on how far the dual core will pull down a HD7970 , but i do know it should be able to run on high at decent FPS . One last thing to mention is the RAM if you think that rm 20-30 is very big deal , then might as well give up on overhauling or upgrade your pc , think about it , if you can spend around 3k or more at 1st to build a pc , why don`t go all the way .the processor will totally bottleneck HD7970 performance and not to mention that power supply of Ts might be generic and not 80+ 4GB of DDR2 is more expensive then 4GB DDR3 so in the end i would say total upgrading system would reach RM3k if overhaul the system it will reach up to RM2k  This post has been edited by pspslim007: Jun 10 2012, 12:32 PM |

QUOTE(Neo|ofGeo @ Jun 10 2012, 12:34 PM) Im seriously try to understand you here we can clearly see that both of us have different mind set , but an i3 2100 +HD2 series pull off ultra !!!! , it is absurd , i do want to see it runs on a decent FPS with that spec , you also do know and clearly stated BF3 requires a heavy processor , i don`t see an i3 with HD2 series can pull that off . as for the choices that the person who needs help regarding his pc , now he have 2 option , either go for yours or mine , and if so to speak that an i3 with HD2 series be able to pull ultra off with a decent FPS , i must say that person would be overclock expert to pull that off , but bare in mind the risk if you have little amount of knowledge regarding overclocking and such , it would not help you but fry your pc . long story short , person with a little knowledge of overclock will lead to more money spend on replacing parts then saving it .do you know that battlefield 3 is a processor heavy as well? not only graphic card heavy? While we still can tone down gpu needs such as details and AA but processor is different because even if you set it at minimum resolution its still depends on processor to run the games that why even i3 2100 + HD2000 can pull a decent fps on lowest resolution possible not to mention Ts budget is only RM1k below budget is there for a reason and ignoring such reason and offering only GPU,a single hardware that cost RM1.5k minimum is too much isn't it? Added on June 10, 2012, 12:38 pm  you forgot to mention power supply indeed HD7970 is capable to run on 500W power supply but only if it is 80+ certified without that knowledge or information regarding Ts is power supply brand or type offering a Highest is GPU is indeed seem abit too much. i do not offer changing motherboard at all just upgrading GPU to HD7850 that can run up to High at 60fps and Ultra with some settings lowered down overclocking the processor with third party cooler to make it less bottleneck HD7850 |

QUOTE(Neo|ofGeo @ Jun 10 2012, 01:18 PM) dude i stop reading half way then it somehow backs up my point , an i3 2100 which you mention cant be overclock with a HD2 series to run BF3 is a total waste , so i must ask what is wrong with u ?wtf wrong with you? Added on June 10, 2012, 1:25 pmTs you can clearly ignore pspslim007 i3 2100 can't overclock as its multiplier is locked not to mention ignoring facts that i state that i3 2100 is able to run bf3 on lowest resolution Thus not answering my question regarding his judgement of suggesting HD7970 as GTX670 is much cheaper at RM1.4k is also not consider is a person with lack of knowledge and somehow i found something interesting http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1878823/all , please provide your expert opinion .

QUOTE(Neo|ofGeo @ Jun 10 2012, 01:38 PM) dude... you stated that an i3 2100 with a HD2series would run BF3 perfectly , and i3 2100 cannot be overclock , and tried to insult me with your overly high confidence on your knowledge for PC , so i must say your ego has blinded your judgement . I do hope this will make you realize that we are here not to boast on our knowledge , we are here to help the TS on his requirement for a decent upgrade .i don't know how much how fail are you in this. Does 150mhz bring any difference? did i ever mention purchasing i3 2100 btw? This post has been edited by pspslim007: Jun 10 2012, 01:46 PM |
