Battlefield 3 graphics

[sito220]

Hello, I was looking for a graphics card to play battlefield 3 at high settings, which one do you recommend?

[Obione]

For which team and how much budget?

From a 560ti upwards, if you wait for the next generation, it's "better", although it will take time for them to come down in price. Of all, use the forum search, it's there for a reason, there are more people who have asked the same thing.

@Obione:

¿Para qué equipo y cuánto presupuesto?

Procesador: AMD 6400 X2 Dual Core 3200 Mhz - T. Grafica POINT OF VIEW GEFORCE 8800GTS 320MB - Ram: 4G 2X1G 1X2G kingston hyperx 800 mhz - Fuente: 550W

Me han dicho que esta iria bastante bien:

Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 119 Euros

¿ cual aconsejas?
Presupuesto maximo: 150Euros

It's just that BF 3 demands everything. Although what is most noticeable is changing the graphics, if you want to run it well at 1080p, the ideal would be a latest generation i5 with 2x2GB of RAM and a refurbished 5850 from pccomponentes. That in cash is 360€ plus shipping.

I play it with my firm's team at 1280*1024 with everything on high. I had things on Ultra but I noticed that sometimes there were small pauses; I think it's more due to lack of Ram. I think it's a game, as I've read in more forums, that appreciates having more than 4 Gigas of Ram. I left everything on High with some filter and it works great. The lowest frames I see sometimes are about 45, but there are times that it doesn't go below 60. It depends on the map. I usually play on servers with many players and the graphics perform very well.

For the rest with a Dual Core… it does penalize you a little, especially because it's an AMD, if it were an Intel Dual Core things would change, there are people who with a decent graphics card move it very well with an Intel Dual Core.

I hope you don't want to play with Ultra levels, because for that as they tell you a 560 Ti minimum. But it depends on the rest of the equipment, and the Dual Core penalizes just like 4 gigas of Ram. There are people who move it in Full HD with a 5850 Xtreme like mine, but they are also people with i5 processors. But my graphics card is more than enough for 1280*1024 so if my monitor gave more resolution I would still perform well.

The Ati 6850 performs a little less than the 5850 Xtreme. And I have the graphics card with zero overclock. My graphics card with Overclock gets close to the Ati 5870 or the Nvidia 560 Ti which to this day are still very decent graphics cards, but as you can see the Nvidia is still expensive. I bought my graphics card second-hand for 90€ six months ago. For that price nothing comes close to it in performance.

Mounting 2x4GB is not a bad option but here comes the poor one asking for advice for graphics and when you see the whole platform you can be left with this face :ugly:

The budget I have set includes a motherboard, an H61 for 70 euros, the ASRock iCafe which, within the basic ones, has some dissipation and 4 RAM slots. If I had to improve something, I would almost go for the 2500 rather than RAM but of course, as you know how this works, you can end up getting involved with a K which is 10€ more, then the P67, the dissipation… :troll:

Look where you are, I said you would use the search engine… if you did, you would find yourself:

Hello, in the end I decided on this Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 150 euros with expenses.

Battlefield 3 runs well at 60/70 and in ultra at 30/40 Frames in ultra it sometimes drops but in high it goes great on a 23" monitor at 1920x1080 even so the guy from pccomponentes told me that in my pc the graphics would run at 80% I don't know how I can do that test.

What am I missing processor or Ram?

Processor: AMD 6400 X2 Dual Core 3200 Mhz
Ram: 4G 2X1G 1X2G kingston hyperx 800 mhz 3,25 gigas for being windows xp 32bits

@sito220:

¿que me falta procesador o Ram?

Ram: 4G 2X1G 1X2G kingston hyperx 800 mhz 3,25 gigas por ser windows xp 32bits

Te falta Dual Channel, pero mejor vas ahorrando para pasarte a DDR3.

Salu2!

I think you should upgrade the equipment, because if you buy a last generation graphics card, the micro will create a bottleneck, another thing; go to a second-hand hardware forum and get a mid-range graphics card at a reasonable price, I usually buy second-hand hardware and I haven't had any problems, besides the fact that you save some money.

[Obione]

Absolutely, you can tell it's a bargain at the lower end. If you didn't have the cash for a decent micro and GPU, it would have been better to get the 6850 which was 100 bucks and jump to a 2500K. That dual has been around for a long time...

[Jesus_Panella]

Even with the HD6850 it would be too much for that micro. It is true that the AMD 64 x2 6400+ is still a decent micro, but it is already a few years old. In this case, the best thing you could do is overclock the CPU, and start thinking about upgrading the equipment (CPU, motherboard, memory).

Keep in mind that it's not the same to play online, as in campaign mode.
Regarding the graphics, with that I suppose it will be enough for you, to play at 30-40 fps. Although there are better second-hand options. (now there are many people who are getting rid of them for 4 bucks and buying the new 6xx) We are always in the same thing, today it will be enough, but tomorrow it will be poor.
If you are going to play online, surely with 4gb you will be short. Try to mount modules to take advantage of dual channel and maybe you can save yourself from putting more ram

[Bm4n]

You will have more performance if you upgrade the processor, but we go as you were told a little. The rest is a matter of the graphics, BF3 demands a lot, even at high you will notice drops to 50fps which for a game of this type it is ideal that it does not drop below 60. I doubt that the memory will affect the performance, mainly because the game in operation does not reach 2GB of use.
