    Can I Run It?

    Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I was wondering if I could run BF3, even if on lowest, with my current computer specs. Before I tell you my specs, please be open minded, I know they aren't the best, you do not need remind me.

    CPU: Intel i5 Dualcore @ 2.4GHZ
    Graphics Card: Intel HD 3000
    RAM: 4GB
    Memory: 500GB

    Missed something? Please tell me in a reply.

    Thank you, MGM

    I'm assuming it's a onboard GFX card? (Chipset?)

    If this is a laptop I wouldn't recommend playing a game like this.

    first off chipsets suck and if it is a laptop it's prone to over heat very fast and have decreased performance and ruin the chips.

    Yes to both...However, I have been gaming for years now on similar machines playing games such as MW2, Black Ops, BFBC2, etc and really haven't had many problems.

    I'm assuming you had low FPS according to what the picture states?

    Well, I don't know, but I don't think that is right because with Fraps on MW2 I get 50-110 and the console "draw_fps" command I get 40-100. BFBC2 was 30 at worst, I think more towards 60.

    This is on "High" settings.

    Well then if you get 30 fps in BfBC2 that most likely will mean you will get worse in BF3 or you will have to lower your settings.

    Though if you do use it for this make sure to have your laptop well ventilated.

    May or may not.

    Don't preorder till you play the beta is my best advice.

    I don't know how the HD 3000 stacks up against real graphics cards.

    Yea, I mean, as long as it's playable, I don't really care about graphics as much. I have a Xbox360 anyways...

    Just try it on the 29th when the beta arrives, and set very low expectations, that way you won't be disappointed.

    If you can't, Xbox it is I guess.
