Battlefield Upgrades

I've recently been sucked into the world of Battlefield 3.  Being a BF2 player back in college, I'm instantly feeling at home.  The only issue is that it was a bit of a pig but could be so pretty if I just did some upgrading.

Welcome to the $300 game...

Here's what Uber is now:

  • Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.93 GHz
  • Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 (50C vs. 99C stock HSF)
  • 4GB DDR3-10700
  • NVIDIA GTX 570 1280 MB (Up from 260 GTX 890 MB)
    • 24 inch Dell 1920x1080
  • NVIDIA 6600GT 128 MB (Secondary screen, also incidentally my old BF2 card)
    • 20 inch Dell 1600x900
  • 750 GB 7200RPM 32 MB (Thinking SSD upgrade soon)
Playable settings are Ultra across the board with just AA off.  Getting 45fps at 1920x1080.  And it is so damn pretty!
