Battlefield 4 System Requirements outed!

[QUOTE="uninspiredcup"]

Get about 2$ diffrence with lower visuals anyway. Only elitist geeks with 2 titans will care. The rest of the world will not.

gamerdude970

yup thats the problem with pc gaming nowadays.

how was this 2 dollar difference calculated?

would having windows 7 32 bit really make a different compared to windows 8 64bit?

No one should be using a 32bit OS anymore

Half the TOTAL PC market share is Windows XP 32-bit machines.

Windows XP owns a 37.47% Desktop Operating System Market Share.

Only Windows 7 is higher, with 44.82%

Every other OS is MILES behind.

you can easily figure it out if you look at your system properties, or if you open task manager and your PC can actually see all 8gb of RAM

Yes, yes you should. And get Windows 8. With the new changes it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be, and you do get better performance in games and such. It usually results in having lower dips in framerate compared to 7.

XBOUnity--did you have someone else build it for you or did you buy it? Because if someone built it for you or you bought it, the chances of it being 32 bit are VERY low. No system builder who knew what they were doing would buy an 8Gb RAM kit when they're using 32bit Windows, which only uses up to 4Gb.

I should be fine for recommended but my GTX 590 is probably getting a bit long in the tooth to max it and still get good frame rates. Who knows though with new drivers after release it may still do well.

For about a thousand dollars American you can have this silky smooooove beast. All problems answered.

Hmm.. my laptop can run this probably at medium or high(maybe) but my CPU is going to struggle in the 64 man servers.

My 570 has 1.3gb WTFFFFF. How the F is 3bg a requirement to play in 1080p????silversix_

My GTX570 only has 1280mb of VRAM, so Im guessing Ill be lacking aa. :( [QUOTE="Sagem28"]

Looks like I'm good.

wolverine4262

The 3GB requirement is probably a way to promote AMD's Hawaii, since they're coming out soon, and I believe even mid-range cards will have 3GB.

The standard 660/7870 comes in 2GB anyway, I don't think a 3GB 7870 even exists.

Recommended probably means High @ 60fps, but not locked, probably using a mix of medium and high you can get locked 60fps.

[QUOTE="silversix_"]

[QUOTE="FoxbatAlpha"] im running a 560 Ti. I'm gonna have pop in like something fierce. I guess the 3GB is to handle the 3 guys camping 384 kilometers away.Tessellation

My 660ti is 1 GB short on GPU memory to meet recommended specs.... Will not upgrade until Titan has a successor though.

moistsandwich

Never saw a point to upgrade my 580 all these years and the titan had me tempted. I think I can still hold out for a couple 880s. Ah my next build is gonna be fun.

[QUOTE="Tessellation"][QUOTE="silversix_"]we had that in bf3 tho and its running really well on my 570

EducatingU_PCMR

That's kind of what I assumed considering they're partnering with AMD and what do you know, AMD just happens to have a line of GPUs with EXACTLY 3Gb of VRAM :roll: . I have a feeling the extra VRAM is simply if you want to enable super **** high resolution textures which wouldn't even be discernable from the 1Gb textures unless you're using a 1080p+ monitor or standing 2 inches away from the object. 

I think I'll be getting the Ouya version.

Wow, 3 gigs of vram... :o

Consoles have pushed PC gamers quite a bit with that vram. 

Outside of Windows 8 I should be good on the recommended front. Though it will take some really impressive looking gameplay for me to want BF4.
