Xeon 3110 (E8400)

How Xeon 3110 will handle BF3. It has come at price point where I can efford it:wub:
I think my Place / HTPC is may be out of date.
My Toy computer is
Xeon 3110 (E8400)
4 Gig
6970 GPU
Win 7 64 SP1
So people who play this game; what you all think ?

Badly.

Looking around it gets ~40-70 fps, most of those benches are probably single player so multiplayer 64 players map will likely be pretty unpleasant.

BF3 likes quads.

I guess your CPU would end up at the bottom just above the Phenom II x2. If this benchmark can be trusted is another question.

So 6970 Won't help ?
Is 35 FPS is not playable
Res would be 1920 X 1080

Notice in that chart that all of those CPUs are paired with a GTX690.

It's up to you to decide whether 35fps is playable or not. Buying a modern CPU would give you a 3-4x performance improvement in BF3.

At 35fps you will be cannon fodder for even the worst players in bf3

Well I bought the game; Where I can get the info about this
Like how do you play and stuff.
I would like to play small Skmirsh type of Game...... (Like Command and Conquer) <-- lack of theorf

apparently BF3 will also suffer with a lot of stuttering when being played on dual cores, even if it will give an average of 30 fps+

Unless you overclock it to 4ghz, then you'd better invest in a current platform

I try to play it, but getting stuck at train; where some body keep blowing the train,
Is there any way I can run the benchmark ?

You are talking about the single player campaign I presume? I think the sequence you are talking about is timed, be quick or be dead.

There is no built in benchmark.

yea I was talking about single player.
This game really PITA to play.
You click on on ICON it goes to browser then you choose what game you can play..........
Second how do you run the benchmark on this if some body wants to
thanks

I had a e8200@e8400 speeds and well singleplayer was playable but not to enjoyable and well multiplayer just sucked.

I wouldn't even bother playing it online without at least a core i3 2100 at bare minimum,i upgraded to the i3 2100 at one point from that e8200,it made a tremendous difference and its my bare recommendation on a budget if you want a good BF3 experience.

The newer i3 series would be better sought after but used and on a budget,a h61+i3 would be worlds better over that core 2 duo,i know from experience and match it with a 6870/7700/gtx460/gtx560 and its a well balanced system.

I played little bit able come through from train and fighting in some city.
Its addicting..........
I do have another system I can play, where I have AMD Phenom II 1055T with 8 Gig Mem and 7970 with Win 7 pro 64 Bit.
At this point I don't even know how to even play the game.
Looks like its a US miltry funded first person shooter game
Where you just shoot at PLA errr rrr........
Comand and Concour was better........ o well
I am going to keep my hands off cause...... I can see I would be spending good 3 -4 hrs easily

I owned a Xeon 3110 the past year and while it ran Batman:AC just fine I haven't even bothered with BF3.

I just upgraded to a Xeon X3360 and plan to purchase it soon, however.
