Trying to Suit up for BF4


Recommended Posts

Really want to get it on PC, it feels more "real" than on consoles even though im a console gamer at heart.

I have a Dell Inspiron 580.... (some of you are probably giggling already)

Has a i5 @ 3.2GHz

6GB of ram, 5.87GB usable

older Radeon HD6790 [blue one with the sword on it] that at the time was awesome, and Maxim helped my upgrade it

and a decent sized PSU which i think is around 550w or so. (also Maxim helped with this).

The one main thing i seem to fall short on is the video card, which BF4 recommends 2+ GB of GeForce or Radeon cards.

I looked into crossfiring my current card, but they dont make it anymore.

So know im looking into a new card i would think.

Any help? suggestions? and if possible, could i upgrade the ram to say 8gb or 16gb? dont know a whole lot about PC upgrades.

here is the thread when i did it.

need to know what motherboard you have to see how much ram it can hold.

a GPU and ram upgrade would be your biggest gain overall but i dont know what i5 you have so you may end up just bottlenecking a mid to high end GPU.

run a dxdiag.. start, search box. type in dxdiag ( click yes for any boxes that pop up, usually only to valdaite your drivers with dxdiag)

click save info and paste it here.

should only need the system info and display(1)

recommand downloading cpuid-z.. its a info showing program that alot of overclockers use to monitor their hardware.

it'll show what motherboard you have and the model number..

I'm assuming its going to be a factory dell MOBO which is going to really limit what you can upgrade too.

ASUS 7870 and running on Ultra, a little laggy but expect more game optimization to fix this, I have 8gb ram and it seems to be using ~60%.

Also BF4 likes to use CPU especially on the lower settings. So your CPU may be a bottleneck.

. . . Oh and first post :P
