[Solved] Does my computer is ok?

Forum Games General : PC Gaming [Solved] Does my computer is ok?

Hello! I want to play in ultra graphics Battlefield 3, Skyrim, and the games that will come out this year.

This is my PC:

Intel Core i5 3.4 Ghz
8gb RAM
ATI Radeon HD 6870 1gb
Cooler Master 600 wt
Windows 7 x64

I play with a resloution of 1360x768, but later i will buy a better monitor and play in a highest one, like 1920x1080...

How is my pc, is it OK for playing these games?

not ultra, but high-ultra yes

Best answer

At your current resolution you should be able to do ultra with that system. When you upgrade to a 1080p display, you will have to turn a few things down, though you'll still be able to pull of high at the very least when running those games at 1080p.

Hi

That graphics card is not good enough for Ultra....the rest is fine...

All the best Brett

I'm fairly sure BF3 will run at Ultra at the current resolution (maybe with 0x or 2xMSAA instead of 4x), but at 1920x1080 it will most likely run decently well at High.

Well, actually the graphics card is not on my hands yet, i have to buy it, so what would you tell me if i buy the 6950? Is it way better than the 6870? Is it worth it?

6950 is better (obviously), ultra probably, BF3 is realy heavy though, but at your Res probably would be ok. You might find deals on 6950 now that 7950 is out.

The 6950 is about 10 to 15 percent faster than the 6870. The extra performance does come at a higher price tag though. Expect to pay anywhere from 30 to 70 dollars more for a 6950 compared to a 6870. Price differences will vary depending on which models you look at. Whether spending that amount is worth it for an extra 3 to 10 FPS is up to you.
