Battlefield 3: GPU Analyzer Recommends GTX 560, For PC Only

Update: DICE-NVIDIA put up a GPU Analyzing tool to help players know if their computers can run the minimum / recommended settings of Battlefield 3. After testing, the tool requires a GTX 560 video-card in order to run the game on its optimum settings.

So can your PC run it?

That's funny because I can't put it on high with a gtx 560...I get about 80 F temps at max and it essentially locks up my computer

Angels37855330d ago

There is definitly something wrong with your system then. My friend has a gtx 560ti and runs it maxed out always above 30. I have a hd6970 and run it without hiccups.

80 F is cool...even 80 C is not too hot.

benpicko5330d ago

Either your system is clogged up with dust or you have a serious bottleneck in there. I have a 460 and can run it basically without any problems on a mixture of high and ultra.

I've got a AMD Quad Core 9950 (2.66 Ghz)...It's a 3 year old computer but if I have to buy a new processor, I probably need a new mobo and at that point, I'll just buy it for consoles return the 560 and roll with my 4850 for Diablo 3 (should run it) and SWTOR (again, should run it...unless I'm just missing the mark)

I've never been a huge fan of paying 200 much less 300 or more for only one game that really needs it

Oh, I've got temps that hit near 84 during BF3...My CPU is at 55 which is lower than it was with the 4850 (added a fan too) so if the graphics card can handle that fine, then I don't really care

Download MSI Afterburner and put your fan speed to max..

I don't get it. I see all these tests that say basically GTX 560and up is ideal to enjoy this game. I can run this game on ultra, full 1650x1080(or something like that) resolution, with my GTX 465.....

ECM0NEY5330d ago

whats your CPU?

This game is CPU heavy bc of the Havok physics engine.

Scizz5330d ago

intel core i7- 860 OC'd to 3.2

ECM0NEY5330d ago

you have a good cpu thats why

D3vilzRightHand5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

For a 560ti oc 80 is nothing.

The 560ti max temp is set at 85.
I have a 560 and my temp go up to 75 when i play.
65-70 on the maps that aint dusty.

Get the MSI afterburner and put your fans on high speed if needed. But you dont have to worry. I work with gfx cards, so i know what i talk about so you dont have to worry.

560ti = 85c max.
80 = ok
75 = you are fine
50-70 = you dont have to worry a bit.

earbus5330d ago

I dont do nvidia strict ati guy.

souljah5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

Dude, i play @ 1920*1080 on high and ultra settings with my freakin HD5850 and no hiccups. This is not one of those articles that says "u need to change the graphic card" right ?? Marketing @ it`s best !!!

Battlefield 3 Cut Missions From Campaign Detailed by Former DICE Dev

Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign

XiNatsuDragnel506d ago

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast506d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia1292d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad1291d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
