Hopefully this is the right section to ask for system requirements, because the guys @ hardware Q&A probably have less idea out the game then here.

Seriously guys the min spec requirement EA provide barely able to run Multiplayer 64players. it is soo misleading. I got fps from 15-40fps only. but most of the time @ 20-30fps

I want to play it @ 45-60fps at all condition even on the worst map @ Caspian Sea till metro 64players. that means at worst possible condition I will not drop below 45fps and stays @ 50-60fps most of the time

So What is min spec to run BF3 @ 45-60fps constant @ lowest detail @ 1680x1050? I dont care about quality, more towards smooth gameplay.

my computer spec:
Pentium E5800 @ 3.2GHz @ 800fsb
4GB DDR2 800 RAM
Gigabyte EP41-UD3L
Gigabyte 9800GT 512MB
Screen resolution : 1680x1050 @ 22 inch

My Goal & budget: To spend the smallest amount of money to reach 45-60fps @ lowest detail @ 1680x1050


I got a 2500K rig, but I got 2x BF3, so the second rig must be able to play smooth fps.

wow lol I didnt know Nvidia had a guide for it.

Major thanks.
but then it only shows GTX260 as min for 1680x1050 @ low detail. no CPU guide for low preset.

So I figure a 2.6-3GHz core 2 quad + 7770/650ti will do the trick?

ur speed is C2Q 2.5GHz? mind trying OC to 3GHz?

What GPU? at what resolution, is it low detail?

if can try it for me do I dont need to waste money on those overprice Q9xxx, jump straight to i3.

same fps as in what fps? got 40-60?

like that macam wanna go 3220 lol. C2Q so underpowered and exp.

thanks guys, u guys 1000% more helpful than those battlefield forum people.

gonna skip core 2 quad then head to a used i3 instead. might wanna wait Haswell i3 see the diff or not.

(*I dont have budget for any i5)
