    wont be able to tell you definate specs but i know for defiante that its gonna be a Quad core you need, and i dont mean a dual with hyper threading (as hyperthreading has no effect in games) but a proper quad, and im expecting it to need at least 4Gb of ram to itself and maybe even 2GB Vram, depending on how high res the textures are.


    Ill know more when the Beta is released

    oh i thought that version of the i5 was the dual core version lol, but i checked its not its a quad lol but i know your graphics card will handle it as:

    there is no where near enough Vram, 512 mb just wont cut it, plus it has very low core count it has 80 ATI cores, which is equivelent to 20 Nvidia cores, basically i know this wont cut it because my 4gen old graphics card isnt going to cut it either and that has 1gb Vram and 112 Nvidia cores lol

    below is an explanation of the cores from another post of mine:

    the core count in ATI cards is different to Nvidias way, to get a comparison


    times Nvidia cores by 4 to get them relative to ATI cards

    or

    Divide ATI cores by 4 to get Nvidia lol

    so

    100 Nvidia cores would roughly be 400 Ati Cores if that helps

    Re: Your Opinions?

    Ok sorry i've been so vague about my specs but I checked and it was a 5450 HD 1024mb. Still gonna have to buy a new one though, I was thinking of a Nvidia GTX250 (maybe a little better, but something similar anyway). Thanks for the clarification though :P

    Edit: I've read on some forums that a 560ti is a good budget card for running BF3 properly (Maxing out is not a neccessity for me anyway) .. Would that be true? Cuz as you might've noticed, I'm not so much of an expert ;p (never actually upgraded my card since I only have my own computer for two years) so I would greatly appreciate more advice ^^ Thanks for so far though Aux (:
    Meh.

    I played the BF3 alpha over the summer (end of august at a lan party. i43 to be exact). It was awesomesauce. Graphically its sweet as fook, gameplay is awesome and very much as close to grabbing a gun IRL and going out to slot some terrorists as you can possibly get!! The new Frostbite engine is fantastic. I think the machines they had it running on were i7 2600k with dual 560GTX in sli. Thats about as much as I can remember as I was as giddy as a kid at christmas waiting to unwrap my presents!!

    Why all these problems, if you can't run you can always turn the specs down lol

    Its always nice to give it a once over in gorgeous mode first before dulling it down to Final fantasy 7 style polygon mode!!

    Yeh but cheesecake, the specs are pretty damned high as it is, i know what its like to run a game on less than reccomended, it aint fun, im not to bothered about it looking its best, but even being slightly lower than recomended for BC2 gave me average of 20 - 25 fps on low settings, its not fun, stutters like a bitch
