Upgrading from e7500 to I5
Hello folks I intend to upgrade my overall pc performance to match my gtx 460 the bottleneck is cutting my 460 is half this is my current rig Gtx 460 evga 1 gb superclocked Intel core 2 duo e7500 2.93 ghz 1X1 gb ddr2 ram Ocz 700 watt psu biostar lga 775 motherboard I tried running battle field 3 on max settings and it was choppy as hell so i turned them to high instead of ultra , im getting 30-50 fps on 1920x1080 but when i turn the gun around or enter a new room or an opened street the game freezes for a minute and fps slowly climb up back to 30-50 , I believe my ram is causing this will upgrading to 3 gigs of ram instead of 2 allow me to run the game without any problems on high settings with my current cpu and will and i5 + 4 gigs of ddr3 ram allow me to play it on ultra |

Additional 1GB of memory won't make a difference. Upgrading to an i5 3570k with 4G DDR3 1600 memory will! |

Btw...if your looking to save a few bucks, the i5 2500k ,or, i5 2550k(integrated graphics disabled) are good alternatives. Supports DDR3 1333 memory, and USB 2. |

hey rb i ordered the limited edition of battle field 3 and im getting it 3 days from now can you suggest settings i can select in order to stop the darn freezing from happening im pretty sure the low ram is causing the freezing cuz all i have is 3 gigs of ddr2 ram running it on ultra is the same as running it on low believe it or not , the fps are slightly lower in ultra but the freezing is still going on |

Since you having the issue using low settings, I'm at a loss, since your system should be able to handle BF3. Have you tried updating Direct X? |

my direct x is up to date , but the game runs on d3d11 and you cant force dx10 I tried so your basically stuck on dx11 Again the game doesnt lag or anything it just freezes when the system memory hits its extreme , running on higher resolutions wont matter the only thing that makes change is changing the quality settings Im currently running these settings http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=1&theater |
