  • BF3 optimized for sli?

    hey I'm putting together a new computer and wondered what it would be a better system sli or single video to the BF3.

    wanted a model sli a little better than a HD5870, which I could use?

    my setup at the moment:

    i7 950@3.2Ghz
    12GB DDR3 Triple Channel
    SABERTOOTH X58
    Corsair TX750W

    well a lot of the PC's at gamescom were running dual 580's.

    I reckon a dual 5870 set up would be fine too.

        Yes it will. There was actually an SLI profile for the alpha but for some reason it didn't make it in the driver update before the alpha ended.

          cool, waiting the demo, i dont know if i will do a sli or singler or crossfire.

          if you have 500 dollars you would make a sli or singler?

            With $500, I would go with SLI. Specifically, I would get two GTX 470s. They outperform a single GTX 580.

                usually, yes; or you could go with dual 6850 I think or even dual 6950 . Going nvidia is for when you dont really care about multimonitor set ups and have a ton of physix games.

                    I'll be honest, i had alot of VGa....at moment i will go with a nvidia.

                    the problem of ati are the drives and are not optimizing when launching a game.

                    the drives are very bay.

                    i have a 5870 here, im thinking about sli or crossfire or other vga for bf3

                      Why would you SLI a card that is worse than what you have ?

                      A 5870 is better than a GTX 470. Even a GT 570 isn't that much better than your 5870.

                      Like I said Corssfire with another 5870.

                        Woo! Go ATI! I have realised that I have become an ATI fanboy over the last year.

                          Oops, I completely missed the part where he said he already had a 5870.

                          So yeah, get a second 5870.

                            My experience with crossfire is from the 4850 series, so its a bit old.
                            But based on that I will warn you that driver updates can be hell. I often had to completely remove one or both cards and sacrifice a live chicken to get a new driver installed properly. And its not that long ago, I used 2x4850 until the 6970 was out.

                              I had a problem here with my last computer and the 5870 was good I'll do a crossfire
