The system requirements for the 3rd instalment of the Battlefield franchise have been spotted. Battlefield 3, set to release for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on the 25th of October 2011 has already been much discussed by a huge amount of Battlefield fans.
Minimum:
- Operating System: Windows Vista or Windows 7
- HDD: 10GB
- CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz
- Memory: 2GB
- Graphics: DirectX 10 or 11 compatible graphics card Nvidia or AMD/ATI
Recommended:
- Operating System: Windows 7 64 bit
- HDD: 15GB
- CPU: Quad-Core Intel or AMD CPU
- Memory: 4GB
- Graphics: DX11 supporting Nvidia or AMD ATI graphics cards, GeForce GTX 460 or Radeon HD 6850 or better
The game looks to be playable on modest hardware, but the recommended configuration shows that Battlefield 3 will definitely have a demanding side. Another point worth noting is that there is no mention of Windows XP support.
These Requirements may not be true, but they do look like an accurate interpretation of the system needed to enjoy the game.
new graphics card for me by the looks of things :D!!
I think the 9800GT can handle this. Thanks for the post!
New computer for me…now, which bank will I have to rob? :p
yes, it will at reduced settings.my 4870 will also handle it but Battlefield deserves at least high settings as a mark of respect :D!
lol, the minimum recommendation isn't actually too intensive tbh
lol, I've been looking for old but great GFX cards lately because of this. 😀
pricing wise, here in the UK, the 4870 and 4890 are killer deals! the 5850 and 5830 also had some awesome prices, but the availability seems to have dried up a little and prices have since risen.im still happy with the price i paid for my brand new 4870 :D!
Oh well 6870 in xfire will handle this game fine but the memory requirement makes me think a little bit :confused:
4GB is what most people have isn't it :p?
I'm looking for the 4870 and 4890 as of the moment, and the prices are ranging from 4K-5K Pesos, not bad for an old GFX card(But still pricey imo, lol). However, I think I will sacrifice my future F@H plans if I'll go with any of those. =_=
