Help Joker upgrade his computer! - joker8baller - Aug 02 2011 I want to upgrade my computer for BattleField 3. I'd like to do it budget since gaming isn't a large part of my life anymore, and I have a ton of things I need to spend my money on. Current stats: Gigabyte P35T-DQ6 Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813128055) Intel QQ6600 (Stock, 2.4ghz, running a different Fan) 2GB DDR3, no-name RAM (Looking to upgrade this first to 4GB) 650GB HD + 100GB Raptor Harddrive Intel 8800 GTS G92, 512mb version. Have at it. RE: Help Joker upgrade his computer! - Rabbit - Aug 02 2011 You Should only need a graphics card and ram upgrade. No reason in rebuilding the whole thing until you want to drop a lot of money onto it. RE: Help Joker upgrade his computer! - joker8baller - Aug 02 2011 I'm really only looking at the Graphics & Ram. Hoping to keep the RAM under <$50 and the GFX under $200.

I forgot to mention, my MB only supports up to DDR3 1333, and only certain 1333 RAM apparently, http://www.gigabyte.com/products/produc ... id=2547#sp RE: Help Joker upgrade his computer! - Rabbit - Aug 02 2011 Are those cards going to be able to play BF3 on direct x 11 with maxed settings though \” I think getting older “ higher spec “ direct x 10 cards that will max out direct 10 with maxed settings would be better visually and game play wise then a low tier direct x 11 card.... RE: Help Joker upgrade his computer! - Spiffywerks - Aug 02 2011 It looks like your mobo can't support larger than 2GB per slot. So in that case, an additional 4gb should be okay: 4gb, $26.00 http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-ValueRAM ... 220&sr=8-8 And Radeon 6870 and GTX560ti are low end DX11 cards? huh? :o RE: Help Joker upgrade his computer! - Rabbit - Aug 02 2011 Spiffywerks Wrote:And Radeon 6870 and GTX560ti are low end DX11 cards? huh? :o They aint no 6970 and GTX 570-GTX580 RE: Help Joker upgrade his computer! - Spiffywerks - Aug 02 2011 His budget is less than $200. For the money, the cards I listed are killer cards. I have Crossfire 6870s and it's better value than one 6970. |
