Hey man, Really appreciate all the help I've been getting from the community here, so I need to make sure I pass it forward. :) The GTX 260 on my rig totally could not handle BF3 on 1080p. I remember getting, what felt like, 20 FPS inconsistently on low details or something. Unplayable...

Thanks for the advice everyone. You're right, where I am now is perfect, and I really shouldn't spend the money for a minimal gain. My budget doesn't allow for much, so what I have now, I should be satisfied with. Thanks again everyone, this really is an awesome community. :)

So you're saying I should stick with the GTX 560 non-Ti? Yeah, the more I think about it, the more it seems like the extra $40 for the Ti version of this isn't worth it. - $150, GTX 560 Non-Ti (already own+have installed) - $190, GTX 560 Ti ($40 difference + hassle of returning card and...

Hey guys, thanks for your responses. After some more testing, BF3 does run OK on Medium, but I tend to want the smoothest FPS possible for competitive FPS games such as BF3. I have another 4 GB of RAM sitting around (perfect match w/ my other 4 GB; haven't bothered to install yet since still...

Dang. So I tried my new GTX 560 with BF3, and on 1080p, it runs OK at Low-Medium settings. But it's almost like I'm thirsty for MORE! If I were able to return this card, would it make sense to go for the GTX 570 at $300 (double what I had paid for the GTX 560)...

Well, I followed everyone's advice! I went for the GTX 560 for the $150. Just installing drivers now, hope it works well with BF3 and beyond! Thanks again everyone! You guys rock! :)

Sounds great! Think I just might go that route. Do you mind posting your specs too? Thanks!

Just wondering if it's worth upgrading from my older GTX 260 (the older edition of this, not the newer one) to a GTX 560 OC for Battlefield 3? The GTX 560 OC I have in mind is this one, which I hope is OK: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Product...34482(ME).aspx The rest of my rig is: AMD...

I heard that using a DVI splitter will result in cloning (?) one display, so I would have Monitor 1, Monitor 2 and Monitor 3 (which is Monitor 2 cloned). Is this the case? This is all I want. I have 2 monitors already, and I want a third monitor to be a copy of everyone on the second monitor...

Alright, I guess I will risk it, as long as it doesn't actually slow the system down. Thanks a lot for your help, man.

What if I already bought the Patriot? :( Can I just stick 'em in there and hope for the best?

It says the voltage is @ 1.65V. Is that a problem, and why? ( From http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX29795(ME).aspx )

Just wondering how dual-channel RAM and all this stuff works. I just recently picked up a new Mobo + 4 GB of DDR3 RAM: - Asus M4A785T-M, DualDDR3 1333 Mobo - Patriot Sector 5 G Series DDR3 4GB (2 x 2GB) PC3-10666 I was wondering, since RAM is so cheap these days, and there's a pretty good...

Hey guys, Thanks for all your help! Upgraded to the AMD Phenom 3.4 Ghz Quad Core + MB + 4 GB DDR3 and it's worked beautifully. Games run a LOT quicker, I was definitely very CPU bottlenecked. We're talking like 2-300% improvements here, and loading times are 2-3x faster. It's...

Hey guys, Thanks for all the helpful replies! I think I'll go with the X4 @ 2.4 Ghz after all. I'm not really into OC'ing, no, but I'll consider the heatsink (that complicated to install?). On another note, is this CPU too powerful you think, for the GTX 260? I mean, the new Fermi...
