Those that have the 'Ti' suffix have more shader cores and a higher clockspeed. It's worth reiterating that there's more than one type of GTX 560, though. That should get you running at Ultra settings. The recommended specs include a reference to a GeForce GTX 560 (approx £140/$210).

The point being that if you're on limited funds and already have a Core 2 quad or later, you'll probably find a much bigger performance upgrade by changing your. Remember that a CPU upgrade almost always involves changing your motherboard and RAM too (these chips all require a motherboard with an Intel Socket 1155 compatible chipset). Again, nice to have, but not essential just for Battlefield 3. If you afford the extra £100/$100 for a Core i7 chip, you'll get four extra virtual cores thanks to Intel's Hyperthreading technology. There are lower cost, slower Core i5s - and I'd argue that the performance difference is going to be negligible – but the K designation means this chip is unlocked for overclocking, which is a useful talent to have for just ~£10/$10 more. CPUĪny quad core CPU should be able to run Battlefield 3 flat out, but the best buy at the moment is Intel's Core i5 2500K, which costs around £170/ $220. But if you are planning to upgrade, here's the kit I'd recommend for playing BF3 on a single standard 1920x1080 desktop monitor.

Not too demanding, huh? I'd argue any PC built in the last few years should meet the highest recommended specs. Graphics Card: DirectX 11 compatible with 1024 MB RAM Graphics card (NVIDIA): DirectX 10.0 compatible with 512 MB RAM Recommended System Requirements Processor: 2 GHz Dual Core (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 2.7 GHz) To recap, here's the official specs: Minimum System Requirements
