Corsair 1200w psu

dual GTX580 sli
2x 120gb corsair force GT solid state drive
1TB black caviar HDD
benq xl2410t 120hz monitor
NZXT black phantom case


hopefully that would be enough to run BF3 on max settings and last me awhile on upcoming new games.

:sweetjesus:

Pretty sure that setup will run on max

That's why console gaming has jumped ahead of PC gaming by such a huge margin. Nobody wants to put up with the shit of having to constantly shell out hundreds and hundreds of dollars just to stay on par

But console gaming looks like such shit. :( And no 64-player maps is a no-no for REAL BF experience, IMO.

You went above and wayyyyy beyond overboard

FML

I feel feeble with 560ti

You guys think Corsair 650tx PSU will be enough for 560ti SLI?

yes 650w PSU is enough to handle 2x560ti

but wait till bf3 is officially out, test it with your current setup
not happy? then you can upgrade

the longer you wait to re-upgrade your rig = cheaper things can be

Pocakj 09-21-2011 07:38 PM

Sigh ...

i5 760 @ 3.2ghz
8gb ram
GTX570 DirectCUii
750w PSU

Only to know I can't even run it on the highest settings :okay:

twitchyzero 09-21-2011 07:44 PM

yeah...pretty bs how a high mid-range/low high-range $250 card (560/6950, respectively) can only run medium
let's all boycott and torrent this game :troll:

Cman333 09-21-2011 08:30 PM

I should've waited before the upgrade. I thought I'd be styling with the 560ti.

Now i'm tempted to sell it and just get a 580

To SLI or not..... argh.

Pocakj 09-21-2011 10:17 PM

Battlefield 3 beta starts Sep 29, system requirements revealed - Battlefield 3

Sigh in order to SLI I'm going to need a new mobo. And if I'm gna get a new mobo I might as well get a better cpu. And In order to do both of these I need to also get a new case and swap everything over.. AGAIN. Then on top of that, I haven't even gotten my second video card!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuu

604778 09-21-2011 10:59 PM

Why do you gotta SLI for games like this? -_-

Because a single GPU doesn't have enough power and you need two of them

Wrong,
people have 1 video card already and want more power so they SLI

Most people doing a new system will get the best video card possible so they dont have to

or some people want the best performances and go apeshit on 2 of the best video cards, like a fellow rser:fuckyea:

Im still on a core2 duo oc'd to 3.2ghz with a 8800gt. I've been able to run all dx9 games on high.. deus ex, bf bc2, dead island, dragon age 2, dead space 2, crysis etc.. think ill be able to do the same with this game. 1600x1200 res.. I've always told myself ill only upgrade when I cant run better thrn med settings on most games.. but PC games haven't made my h graphical progress since crysis. And that game still looks the best.. I think for skyrim ill have problems

Or we could just join the rest of the world and play on console. :failed::heckno::suspicious::concentrate::\ :fuckthatshit:

The reason we're PC fans is cuz console is not enough and we want the besssst.

Culverin 09-22-2011 12:54 AM

I wonder what is the max res this game can kick out?

Surely it can't be 6-monitor eyefinity setup?

Teh Doucher 09-22-2011 01:50 AM

Lol anyone actually buying this game on xbox or ps3?

Pocakj 09-22-2011 02:11 AM

Vansterdam 09-22-2011 03:54 AM
