Battlefield 4

well why didnt u say that before silly boi..... 1200p the gtx 770 will pull some good fps but if u actualy have the cash then go for the gtx 780 just a little tip add a good cpu cooler in there future proof the pc some more with overclocking its a good deal and about that old system eighter sell the pieces piece by piece or sell the whole pc or just keep it like I do.. in my junkzone pc near pc collecting them hah some parts may come in use

Haha! Yeah, already sold it xD so currently have no PC, iPad is getting me through... Just!

I'm going the water cooling route, get a proper alphacool kit and extra radiator and full GPU block, wanna make sure this is is up to the task until the next gen! Well, as good as it can, I'm not really fussed about what's coming out next or price for the time being, I want to upgrade now and currently, these are the best parts out, also going with corsair dominator ram and corsair AX 760i PSU, 120gb ocz vector SSD, 1tb velociraptor and a 2tb wb black, might add more SSD space in the future but I am a velociraptor fan xD

Haha! Yeah I've been using the GTX 285 and battlefield 3 was a struggle so I think an upgrade is now due

Basically I'm currently rocking a q6600, 8gb ddr2 and GTX 285, the motherboard audio has almost died and the machine is now struggling, battlefield 3 runs fine on medium settings but I think it's now time to upgrade

And in regards to the 780 being a waste at 1080p, I plan on using it until it can't run games over medium settings, so I was hoping the 780 would last me a while, for my new build I was going for the asus ROG hero z87, core i7 4770k and 16gb ddr3 2133mhz ram with the GTX 780 and a separate sound card, still to be determined on that one xD I also planned on upgrading the screen to 1200p xD

I don't have the pleasure of lots of money but its my birthday and my family are pulling together to give me lots of money as they haven't done anything for me in a long time, I'm like the forgotten child even though I'm currently the only successful one, I guess that what happens when you move out, you get forgotten about xD

Good build. If you arent doing memory intensive tasks, 8GB of RAM is plenty. The reason I get more RAM, is because I run virtual machines and do video editing often. It is your choice once again! lol.

Right now on bf3 of the current gen cards, one 7970 ghz will keep bf 3 ultra at 60 fps at 1080p and a 680 or overclocked 670 will keep 60 fps on ultra. For the frostbite 3 engine, we can only speculate being that a 7990 was running it at max on an fx 8350 beautifully on what else would run it nicely. A gtx 780 will for sure eat that game unless we missed something, but basing things off how bf3 was at launch, it may actually be a challenge on the current gen (or in nvidias case last gen now) to keep 60fps on ultra at the 1080p. But that's just a guess based off needing 2 580s or 6970s at launch of bf3 before.

It will probably call for a modern quad core and a decent GPU to run on ultra.

 

[GhostRyder]

Yeah, but I'm just curious because its all up to the frostbite 3 and the destruction physics. That was one of the most taxing things about that game and with it turned up this go round, apart from some awesome visuals, we are going to see some real stress.

I agree, I'm thinking more in the future, the new game consoles both have 8gb of ram, the old consoles had 512mb of ram and the odd edram placed here and there, I can happily bet in 3 years time, games will be 64 bit only and require 4-6gb of ram if not, considerably more. Sure, if I had 8gb of ram they would still run fine, but I'm prone to having loads of things running that eat up ram so I was over preparing on ram for when it will come in useful assuming my prediction is correct that is xD that and this motherboard supports RAM Disks! I could always use the extra space for running stuff off a RAM disk if I felt something was loading slowly xD

RAM disks are OP lol.
