Who upgraded for BF3?


Well I ended up upgrading for BF3.

I am coming from:

AMD AII X2 250 - MSI 880G 880GM-E41 - XFX ATI HD 4770

To:

Intel Core i5 2500K - MSI Z68-G45 - MSI GTX 560 Ti

I am hoping this is a nice boost as I can just barely run medium with my current setup at 1680x1050. I am hoping for 5 GHz on the 2500K and 1 GHz on the 560 Ti. Hamma you should be getting some $$$ from this too.

Anyone else grab anything for the game?

I might get some new ram soon but not for BF3.

So you say you've upgraded already or haven't yet? I was just curious how much a difference it made in-game.

Re: Who upgraded for BF3?


I grabbed another 4gb of ram and a 570GTX...mostly for BF3 but also because I had a 275gtx and it was a bit long in the tooth and started to sound like a vacuum cleaner under load even after I air-canned it.

My i5 750 is holding up just fine - I run 1920x1080 mostly high settings, ultra textures, and don't notice frame rate issues.

I tend to find overclocking to be the fools' domain. It's rarely ever worth the effort from a playability standpoint...couple frames for a much less stable system, with potential longevity issues?

I'll take a big ass cooler though, run at stock speed with a quiet fan. Silence is golden.

I got a new vid card. Picked up a EVGA GTX560 Superclocked. Using that with an i5-2500k and 8 gigs of ram, and my resolution is at 1920 x 1080. I run BF3 beta on high without a problem.

Agreed.

Anyway I got all my stuff setup. Going to try BF3 tomorrow. I had issues with my Win 7 install, so I installed Win 8 Preview. It works, but PS hates it quite a bit.
