Can anyone comment on if moving to a six core from a quad is worth an upgrade for this game? Thinking about going to a 970 from my 920.

It has been stated that BF3 hardly differentiates between a dual core and a quad core, so differences between 4 and 6 are probably not worthwhile.

Ahh fair nuff

It's a good game, but I can't fly for shit hahaha

I only know the basic controls, I'm guessing you can't take dogtags unless you equip the knife and then attack, as opposed to pressing F

Dogtags are not nearly as easy in BF3 as they were in BFBC2. You need to get them from behind or a lucky stab from the front. Don't try and run up on them to stab them, you will most likely die trying. The animation is EPIC though. I use my middle mouse button for Melee,easier to find in a tight situation. You'll get used to everything. Took me about 20 levels to figure it all out and still get surprised by stuff you can do. I can't fly a lick either :roll:

What is your gamer tag? We can look you up. Join the TPU clans too. Enjoy !

Really , that kind is a poke in the eye. I built a totally new machine for this game. Oh well it will help out in future games a guess. I'm going to get one of the 7000 series in the up coming months.
Not sure if I'm going 7870 or 7950. I'll wait and see if the 7870 has enough juice first. Definitely want 3 Gig's of GRAM though.

Just watch you six with Reayth running around. Hes our local Jack the Ripper with the knife. Got the most stabbings on TPU.

The best part about when Dave does it is you get that
goofy laugh to go along with it :roll:

He does it when hes sneaking up on you too, I heard his giggling and I started turning around then he stabbed me in the face :c

Yeah that laugh cracks me up. Hey I think if we can beat that last co-op I need I'm done for awhile because I should have enough for the G3, which is what I'm shooting for. Well at least until I get bored with the multiplayer which won't happen anytime soon. I fucking love this game. Thanks for helping me out with that tonight. I think we will own that level next time now we know better. That was on hard too wasn't it, and died because I wasn't prepared for the last guy. Suckage ! We'll have to talk about that before we play again when the E prompt came up it totally fucked me up I didn't know what to do.

Um I'm pretty certain this is not the case, even BC2 showed a nice boost going from dual to quad, though more than 4GB RAM is definitely essential. People also generally don't realize how much vram this game wants to use either. DICE demos use 2GB cards.

NP, It was on hard for the first one the rest were easy

we got pretty far on the hard one though.. We should try it on hard again

I changed it to "LyricalSurgeon" on Origin (it hasn't changed in Battlelog? weird)
I put my name on the spreadsheet file on the first page of this thread and added a few people I recognised from the forum on Battlelog
Do you make friends on both Battlelog AND Origin?

He got me on my first ever match on BF3,in my first spawn and in first 3 sec of gameplay:shadedshu
Scared the shit out of me :eek:

I'm a sucker for knifing but Reayth is definitely N.1 :toast:

BFBC2 ran in a different engine not originally written for the PC.

bit-tech.net - Battlefield 3 technical analysis

Battlefield 3 CPU Performance

As well as testing a variety of cards on BF3's Frostbite 2 engine, we also wanted to investigate the effect of CPU clock speeds, the number of CPU cores and the effect of Hyper-Threading. Would an overclocked CPU help? Or could an ageing dual-core chip limp along? We under-clocked our Intel i7 965 CPU, as well as disabling two of its cores and Hyper-Threading, in order to find out. The results were surprising.

It didn't matter whether the CPU was running at 3.2GHz, 3GHz or even 2GHz; our benchmarks returned the same results. Even when we dropped the CPU down from four cores to only two, the in-game frame rates proved annoyingly stubborn. While BF3 will load itself across all four CPU cores when presented with a quad-core CPU, it seems to have little benefit when it comes to performance, running just as well with much lower clock speeds, or on a dual-core CPU.

Click to enlarge - There's no performance difference between a quad core CPU with Hyper-Threading and a similarly clocked dual-core chip

We also repeated the test by running our benchmark with 6GB, 4GB and even 2GB of DDR3 memory fitted into the system. Again, we found that performance remained stoically unchanged; only a single-core setup saw any difference, when the game flat-out refused to run at all. Needless to say, then, that BF3 appears to not be the most CPU-taxing game, instead relying almost entirely on the performance of the graphics card.

Wrigleyvillain · Feb 1, 2012

I'm well aware GPU is most important but I just don't buy that especially as they claim RAM capacity doesn't seem to matter either. Too bad Black Panther doesn't play BF3 as I don't anyone else with a dual core anymore offhand.

catnipkiller · Feb 1, 2012

my 6xcore runs at like 80-100% useage with both cards 99% used frame rates are stable mostly 60-90 ingame.

System RAM capacity mostly makes a difference in load times, not FPS.
