Hi,
im currently running a Q9400@3.3Ghz with a HD6870, still got a older 19" tft from hyundai so im running at a pretty low resolution 1280/1024. Bf3 is set to "low" in the graphics options.
on a 32player map the system goes below 30fps sometimes, which makes it quite unplayable.
according to the windows task manager the CPU cores are at around 80%, the gpu is running at around 60%
MSI Afterburner shows GPU usage at around 60%.
so this means i need a new CPU right?
Im asking because Battlefield 3 is quite a CPU hog according to tomshardware.
Any idea what a performance jump i will get from a i5-3570K?
