Re: Battlefield 3

I'm sure most people will fail the recommended settings. I'm around 250mb of RAM sort and my video card is to "weak" just like some other people here. I don't know if I have any free money around to buy both BF3 and a new card...blah...

Re: Battlefield 3

passed............

Other than it saying I have only 719mb video ram. Can I run it (as well as DXDIAG does not shaw real memory)
I have 3062 of dedicated video ram.

Re: Battlefield 3

I wouldn't trust the video ram portion of that website. It just told me I have 5.7 GB of video ram.

^Overall, I "passed", but I didn't hit the recommended threshold because my video card isn't good enough (I have the 6750m). I may have to go console version here.

You will still run it with better looking settings than the console version with that card.

Re: Battlefield 3

WTF? I didn't even reach the minimum and it says I "fail." Is that true?

GeForce 540M
Intel Core i5-2410M 2.30GHz (Turbo Boost 2.90GHz)
6GB RAM

Said my GPU isn't good enough and my CPU is real low.

Checked again and now it says I pass...ok.

You should be able to run the game on medium. The system requirements are very broad and don't take things into play such as how much AA you have turned on, resolution, and other things. Play the beta on your computer and test it out.

Re: Battlefield 3

Exceeded the recommended requirements. I've never played a BF game on PC but built a computer specifically for this game. I'm pretty psyched!

Re: Battlefield 3

Guys,

Be very careful of that site. It just told me my Core Clock for my GPU instead of the actual memory that my GPU has.

My build:

AMD Phenom II x6 1100T (3.3 GHz)
8 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6850 (1 GB)

I should have no issues running this...

Re: Battlefield 3

I've never comepletely trusted that site, I've known about it for awhile though. It once told me I could run Halo CE no problem on a 2001 run of the mill Gateway, and I could only get it to run smooth in safe mode...so I've never trusted "CanURunIt?" after that point.

Re: Battlefield 3

PS3 gets the first DLC one week early than 360/PC users.

Timed exclusives continue to get worse and worse for the industry, at least this is only a week.

Re: Battlefield 3

Just as CoD with MSFT.

This is the nature of the game industry now. Time to accept it because it will not change. Sometimes things like this are necessary to differentiate two consoles that are damn near identical in gaming features.

Selling points, etc.

Hey, you're right...I thought was weird that my VRAM would be 750 MB. The 5770 that I have actually has 1024 MB of VRAM (according to the Catalyst info screen) , which would exceed that recommended requirement (though just barely).

Thanks!

Re: Battlefield 3

Comparison between the platforms.....obviously the PC is the best.

http://beefjack.com/news/battlefield...box-360-vs-pc/

Today, at the Eurogamer Expo, I’ve been spending some time with all three versions of Battlefield 3. It’s not looking too shabby on any of the formats, but I thought I’d chime in with some thoughts about what the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC versions look like. A bit of subjective analysis, if you will. Here goes…
PC

The PC version is, without a shadow of a doubt, the prettiest of the three formats. That is, of course, to be expected. It’s the lead platform, and the processing power of high-end PCs is quite remarkable these days. (Bear in mind that the game was running on top-spec machines with the latest nVidia video tech.) Textures are astonishingly crisp, even up-close, and while I noticed a tiny bit of pop-in, it’s a rare occurrence and by no means a real problem. The lighting and shadows are gorgeous, and the game world has a real sheen to it. The reflections are subtle, realistic, and wonderful.
It’s also extremely smooth, as you might expect, and the draw distance is great, with none of the foliage pop-in that the other two versions suffer from. The only real issue I noticed was that there was a teensy bit of tearing at times.
PS3

While nowhere near as gorgeous as the PC version, the PlayStation 3 version of Battlefield 3 is the prettier of the console iterations. It’s very crisp, very smooth, and textures only appear slightly blurred when close up. Trees sway nicely in the breeze, although they do suffer from some pop-in when viewing them from a distance, which can be a little bit offputting.
There’s also some quite noticeable texture pop-in, which is a little unfortunate. But the water effects are beautiful, the lighting and shadow effects are extremely strong, and overall it’s a lovely-looking offering.
Xbox 360

Alas, it’s the weakest of the bunch. That isn’t to say it doesn’t look nice. Even on Xbox 360, the Frostbite 2.0 tech is strong. Unfortunately, there was some noticeable framerate stuttering in larger outdoor areas during my time with the game. That’s the biggest hurdle Battlefield 3 Xbox 360 will have to overcome before release, lest it be a little annoying.
Lighting and shadows, as well as reflections, are decent but not quite as strong as the PlayStation 3′s, and nowhere near the level of the PC. There’s some foliage pop-in as well, along the lines of that in the PS3 version. Interestingly, texture pop-in seemed to be almost entirely absent, although said textures are markedly lower-res – disappointingly blurry when up close, in fact.
So there we go! This is, of course, an unfinished build of the game, so these things may change before release. Watch out for our full hands-on Battlefield 3 preview in the coming days. And in the meantime, make sure you’re following all the latest Battlefield 3 news right here at BeefJack!

Re: Battlefield 3

Finally, five years later, a multiplat game looks better on PS3.
