Ready for BF4

Post by Specialist »

So the GF got me some new hardware for my birthday and with these upgrades I think I'll be able to run BF4 at decent settings.

She got me a EVGA GeForce 660 Ti FTW LE 2GB card and a Samsung 840 series 120 GB SSD. I installed the OS and loaded BF3 onto the SSD and that thing is pretty freaking fast.

I joined a packed 64 player server and played a round on ultra at 1920x1080 and my fps didn't drop below 55.

Here are my current specs.

Alienware X51
i7-3770
16GB Ram
2GB EVGA GeForce 660 Ti FTW LE
2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
120GB Samsung 840 SSD

Is the SSD a pretty big deal in game? Or just helps during loading maps at the start of rounds or what?

I don't think it helps you that much in game but it does load everything super fast. I can boot up in about 15-20 secs and load times for BF3 are about 15 secs for the vanilla maps.

nice gear spec.

I've pre-ordered my copy of bf4, and will be using the alienware box I picked up for the bf3 launch.

still need to figure out the dc install on the win side :oops:
