So if BF3 is not going to be the graphics king then why...

are the reqs so high? I mean it makes no sense to me if they say it wont look better than crysis 1 then whats the point in saying you would need a monster pc to max it?

and im really a noob at judging graphics, nor have I seen any full hd pics/videos of BF3 in action so I really cant say if it looks better than crysis or not

Wait, who said it wouldn't look as good as crysis? From what I've seen, it's quite up there for Graphics King.

I didn't know we decided the graphics king before a game releases.soulitane

^This.

Yeah, the specs are quite demanding to say the least but that really doesn't physically show us anything.

The requirments are high? They haven't even released system requirments. And BF3 looks to be a definite graphical powerhouse.

high reqs =\= good graphicsMonsieurX

Nice to know I'm going to be able to max this game. Then I'll definitely know for sure.

I just think it has kind of a different graphical stile:P like I think the color palette of crysis is not as vivid as the one in bf3 which uses bright colors and some other effects that make it look a lot different than crysis

Trust me. I can max this game. :P

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] just to let you know reccomended doesnt mean "able to max it" it means you should get a playable and nice looking configuration. however since my monitor max resolution is 1280x1024 im quite sure i'll be able to max it...lightleggy

Trust me. I can max this game. :P

Gotcha. Nah, I surpass the recommended specs by a good amount.

What are your specs? I want to see how mine compare so I'll know how it will run on my PC.

it probably has high requirements because of the massive number of players that it will have in multiplayer

1920x1080 Resolution

4 Gigs of DDR3 RAM (Dual-Channel)

Nvidia GeForce 640 Black Series with a gig of dedicated memory

Intel i7-2600K 3.4ghz (overclocked)

Also using a Bluray and DVD-Rom drive, but that doesn't mean much at all.

Alright cool, our specs are pretty similar except I have the i5 2500k but haven't gotten around to OCing yet

Download the uncompressed 1080p demos and you'll see it's much better than Crysis , idk how people are not seeing this . as for the requirements , Dice games are usually well optimized , look at BC2 on the PC most mid range PCs can max it out i sometimes crank the AA from 8X to 32X and don't notice a huge hit in the performance . The devs confirmed BF3 demos ran on a single GTX 580 at 60+fps , and the game was still in alpha stage and not yet optimized so by the time it releases i'm sure any quad core CPU with a decent DX11 card will play the game at high-max settings .

Honestly, I'm not even sure why I decided to overclock. Every game I've put on this machine has ran at it's max setting with flawless performance unless they were was problem with the game itself.

@the TC, uhh, who's said that exactly... It looks better, simple, reqs =/= graphics.

1gb is only good if you're playing at 1080P or higher resMonsieurX

I thought Nvidia Ninja'd releasing the 600 series :P

By gameplay trailers BF3 looks MUCH better than Crysis. Crysis actually looks dated compared to BF3 (finally).

Who said it isn't going to be the graphics king? Somebody in SW? :lol:

At the most it isn't 100% sure that it will be the best, but how can you really say something months before the game is out?

graphics king or not, it looks awesome

and lets hope my 2008 PC can run it..

if ps3 and xbox will do, my 9800GT and C2D will do it even if I have to put 720p, no AA and no AF.

Graphics are the most important aspect of a game.

:roll:

Nvidia/AMD want games to be unoptimized to sell more graphics cards

so no dobut BF3 will be poorly optimized, when in truth a 9800x could max it out, but Nvidia/AMD want you to upgrade

From the look s of what Dice has been showing it will be graphics king. Heil68
