Re: Updated Facts

So as much as "future proofing" went out the window when it came to upgrading a PC. How long is my i7 going to last before it looks like last weeks curry?

Re: Updated Facts

5-7 years before it will probably the lowest rec. By then we will probably have cloud gaming who know.s

I suggest getting AMD processors because they are way cheaper and offer the same or more power for the money.

Re: Updated Facts

It is diffcult to predict. To me it seems like games have had a very slow increase in CPU demand.
Not surprisingly since most are multiplatform or console-ports, so they have a very low baseline.

Take a look at the charts and consider how much you want to spend: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/d...marks,112.html
Also consider that it may be better over the long run to upgrade mid-range processors every couple of year than to buy a top-of-the-line now and be stuck with it for a decade.
If you want upgradeabillity then you need to consider how likely it is that you can get a new CPU for you socket in a few years. IMHO AMD wins there. But the best money can buy is I7

This.

BF3 is still 32 bit but requires DX10 so you have to move up on the OS. Video cards that support DX10 are, what, 4 years old or so?

The games minimum requirements will probably be a 2 to 3 year old system. The more the better due to destruction and all that, but I dont see it going way up.

Re: Updated Facts

BC2 was more reliant on CPU than GPU i think. it's because thats how they need to make games for the console.
i really hope this time they make more use out of the GPU because GPU usage sucks and we have crappy AA in BC2.

Re: Updated Facts

Yea I really hope they make it more GPU reliant. I only have a 2.2 dual core...

Re: Updated Facts

They've released that jets would be a "kill streak reward of 10 kills" other kill streak rewards include ballistic missiles and UAV.

Unlike similar titles with kill streak rewards gamers will need to use resources like laser tracking and signal smoke to make rewards effective.

I would personally wait for official news of this...It does go on to say you might take control of the jet from cockpit.
