Will your video card stand up to BF3?

[GhostTX]

well FML, my computer finally is gonna stop keeping up with the times. Gotta start saving to upgrade Recommended a GTX560, I have a GTX460

In the same camp.

Your PC's NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 does not meet the game's recommended requirements.

The recommended GPU for Battlefield 3 is a GeForce GTX 560 or higher. Check below to see some upgrade options. To see other system requirements for Battlefield 3, please click here.

Well looked at the recommended and still only looking for a 4ghz quad core and 4GB of ram and I definitely have that. Just gotta step up the video card to a 580 or so and I'll be in good shape

Why a 580? You can find GPUs for a lot cheaper than a 580 plus you can always SLI or Crossfire something to add up to the cost of a 580 and have 30-40% better performance.

Last time I was researching (1 month ago) the best card for the money was the GTX560Ti. Has anything changed?

Well its either get another 768mb GTX460 or go buy a nice video card. Maybe the 560Ti is the way to go

You can SLI 2 560's for less than 1 580, and it's much quicker. As long as you have a capable PSU.... and mobo. But a 560Ti is plenty quick in my opinion.

[Tx Redneck]

A single Ti OC'ed will out bench a 570 in most instances and almost reach up there w/ a 580.

Well I am playing the Beta with all settings on ULTRA with 4x msaa and my GTX460 is keeping up well. This is paired with an i7 930 and 12gb of memory...still the most craptastic map on earth...

So anyone playing? Info? Or something? How is it? Gameplay? Weapons?

[LeXXon]

Lots of people are playing, I'm sure there are tons of youtube videos up by now.

Went home for two hours and played, back at work. can't connect to the servers from here (LAME)! Runs very very well on my m15x (m5850) with everything on high @ 1600x900.

[hunt4m3x]

I keep getting kicked out right when the round ends.

also if I use the mouse when clicking on Spawn or whatever, it goes into "windowed" mode.

[FATHERFORD]

I didn't mess with the video settings, but everything on "high" it played great with my sli 560ti's
