News - Battlefield 3 PC specs detailed

[IronWarrior]

I really hope my dual i7 CPU, 24GB, QuadFire 6990 PC will run BF3, because every game that is released demands an uber system right?

I don't think the national grid could cope with that one

To be honest i don't think PC games are going to be too taxing until the next generation of consoles arrive (PS4, Xbox 720 or whatever dodgy name they give them).

Argh, you see this is the problem I have.

Should have stated, I want MOAR performance than my 4870 with DX11 thrown in. Ideally less than £200 but could go more.

This 4870 is so damn good it makes the upgrade path quite difficult! it is the main reason I have no idea what is going on in the graphics area as well as it plays just about everything and I have had no need to educate myself. Back before i got this card I was well up on all the latest cards and had been since my first graphics card which was a Riva TNT2 64mb.

I want to spends some money, I really do. Needs to be something that is worth it tho.

No worries there- 64bit Crysis is installed in 32bit program files, runs fine, also Cinematic mod (which is 64bit only) runs fine under Steam (which, as you say, is in 32bit program files).

+1 to this. I am happily looking forward to seeing how it runs on my 6950(flashed 6970) and my new BD rig when I get to buy it.

I feel it its no loss not having steam.I agree there is advantages but after hearing the amount of complaining from my clan mates who play MW2 and not being able to play because of steam problems makes me glad I avoid steam ike the plaugue.

Im hoping my system will be capable of running it in 1080p with it all max. Time will tell.

If you could all contribute to the thread I linked to it would be great.
