What settings do you plan on running

[K PhaNTOM]

I'm sure you will be able to run Ultra... But at what FPS?

I have to get vSynch on. I need a smooth game. I think I can do it. I was doing ultra with fraps on at 60FPS and it didn't move at all even through the highest and most detailed places in Caspian. I didn't even overclock my CPU yet, I bet I can get it a good 4.5Ghz on this cooler.

Sli'd 580's 15% factory overclock (I can overclock the 580's to 950Mhz from 852Mhz, Stock clock 772Mhz). This is however a CPU game. 2600K.

umm yeah, you should have no problem running on Ultra. Hopefully nVidia will have updated drivers and SLI profile for you on launch.

At first, high at 1680 x 1056 to see how it is.

Then start OCing if I need or move up and check out Ultra. But I will not sacrifice smoothness just for some eye-candy.

But after this comparison, high is still going to look pretty damn good (and a lot better than my current BC2 settings in widows xp).

[Brian is Huh?!{CLR}]

plan on running it on UBER! its a secret setting :P
haha jk

probably on Ultra with some of the useless effects turnd off.

Gah, couldnt take it. Just ordered 3 of these ViewSonic VG2436wm 24" Wide LED
.

Sad sad panda. Now I need to get rid of my SLI'd 465's and upgrade those, sigh.

LUCKY... hope they fixed the HUD that Shultzy was having with the beta. He didn't have any HUD with the 3 screens.

You better OC that 2500k!!!! It is so easy. just up the multi! At that res, you may be able to run @ ultra with good frames

Oh, I plan on it. Although I think the bottleneck is going to be the card and OCing the CPU won't get me a whole lot. I'll try OCing the card too, but I don't know how much will be left after the factor OCing. Although the "Classified" EVGA is supposedly a bit better hardware-wise than their regular 570 and superclocked 570. We'll see.

Well @ the resolution you are playing at, the GPU is a little less of an issue. I do not think you will have to bother OCing your GPU much. I think you will be golden.

[goldenfooler]

. I think you will be golden.

ahh flattery

In BF3?

Low/Med/High/Ultra?

For me I will try high at first and see what kind of FPS I get.

I plan on running All of Them
