Other than the Karkand pack, are there any perks to ordering from EB (vs. other re/e-tailers)?

Direct2drive is the cheapest so far ($45), albeit the cheapest without offering any perks (Physical Warfare/SPECACT, etc), so I think I'm going to go with them unless I can find a way to get the US BestBuy pre-order bonuses up here.

Eb has the physical warfare...which is early access to those weapons/mods. I was gonna go with Spectat at bestbuy as well..for me it really doesnt matter now i guess..although I do want to get a physical copy.

stylin just play low-med with your current set-up...or buy a new computer if you got cash to burn

PornMaster 09-06-2011 09:05 PM

if anyone needs new computer stuff just shoot me a pm.

I can get it at cost and will hook you guys up

Stylin in my opinion you could think about upgrading to a newer motherboard (ex. socket 1155). Check the local stores like ME or NCIX, some times they carry board+cpu bundles for very good prices. Check your current ram and decide maybe if it's worth it to get an additional 4gb. The Kingston HyperX 4gb I got in the winter only cost around $80, so it's not too expensive. But do make sure the parts fit perfectly together though. As for the video card I do believe the 4870 may be a little on the low-end side for running this game. Better frame rates = better gameplay right? :P

Maybe look to invest in a GTX 570 if the 580 is too expensive. Or if possible SLI 2 GTX 460s :P

PornMaster 09-09-2011 03:39 AM

its always better to buy 1 better video card than to sli 2 older generation ones

twitchyzero 09-09-2011 10:27 AM

hory shet..night-time assault
dat lighting :fuckyea:
it's good to seeing it based on actual in-game footage...instead of pre-alpha software lol

in other news, health regen is now a server option, hope it includes vehicle auto-repair. They need to do the same with 3d spotting so a hardcore mode won't be needed :fullofwin:

JIZZED indeed.

I don't really want to be playing this game on low/med settings :( I want to run this on max! My wallet :( it cries

bobola 09-09-2011 08:17 PM

I think is better to just buy a better single video card.
SLI/Crossfiring is mostly for people who wants EVEN MORE.
OR
Alternatively, ie. you found a great price on mid end cards and buy 2 to achieve a similiar or greater performance than a high end one


Debating if I should upgrade some parts or not!

Q9550 @3.4 Ghz
4gb ram
GTX 570

Just get another 570 for SLI

I m getting another 580 for SLI in a month.

haymura 09-10-2011 08:36 AM

i really want to run this game in max settings. what do i need to upgrade in my build?

my current build:

Asus Maximus Gene III mobo
core i5 760
sapphire radeon 6850 (crossfire)
corsair 750w psu
8gb ram

roastpuff 09-10-2011 09:02 AM

You should be close... videocard upgrade is what I'm thinking you'll need if at all.

Culverin 09-10-2011 03:54 PM

That night time ops looks so sick.

CoD: MW3 is screwed.

Just got the 570 earlier this year.

strykn 09-10-2011 06:32 PM

is a 560TI the best card to get 250$ and under

i believe the 560ti and 6950 are the cards to get at that price mark
they both perform differently depending on game since lots of things to consider (shaders etc.) you know those shit ahha u know more than me

if you will be running 3 monitors, get the 6950 if not, get whichever is cheaper

roastpuff 09-10-2011 09:59 PM

560Ti wins out for BF3, I think... EA games are usually NVidia optimized.
