Title: BF3, what graphics card
Post by: Dolly on 26 October 2011, 19:02

Seeing as ive got my PC together, i now need a graphics card.

i was looking at this one on ebuyer, http://www.ebuyer.com/255699-msi-gtx-560ti-twin-frozr-ii-1gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-hdmi-out-n560gtx-ti-twin-frozr-ii

but then i saw this, with 2 free games, one of which is BF3 which i need to buy still.

or has anyone else got any suggestions, looking around £200, but will probably end up spending more  :grin:

Both will work really well, but the OC one is overdue, so you won't be getting it dispatched any time soon.

Hold out a few months and you'll get the next Gen 28nm graphic cards.

I'm running XFX 5770's in crossfire, they will let me play at max out settings

I'd do that but my mobo doesn't have xfire.  :sad:

Ive got a Sapphire HD6950 2gb ddr5 version, it runs battlefield 3 on 1920x1080 on high settings with ease

its quite and expensive card for £196 but came with dirt 3 but thr card also has a swith on it for the dual bios inwhich you can flash it, which turns it into the next card up which is a HD6970  :smiley:

I've got a Powercolour ATI HD5770 for sale if you wish. With screen resolution 1280x1024 it plays BF3 on high at 50fps, medium 70fps or ultra 30fps. Reason I'm upgrading my card is because I'm anal about always having better within my budget, and the GTX 470 I found was at a great price!

Yours for £70 delivered  :smiley:

EDIT: I know you're looking at better cards, but if you're able to get hold of another 5770 you can run them xfire, which would be more than enough for awesome BF3 gaming.

I played the game last night for first time after release. Got 5770's in crossfire, checked graphic options and it was auto select to 1920x1080 and ultra settings. Gameplay was nice and smooth.
