Looking to pick up a 560ti to get by playing BF3 and Skyrim until I can build a new rig. I have my q6600 at 3.2ghz. Think I'll be ok or bottlenecked? I'll be playing at 1680x1050.
you'll be fine but if you can get the 460 for about 110~ that will be even better if you can
I slapped one of my 560ti's in my wifes Q6600 (3.6Ghz, 4gb ram) rig to see how BF3 played. She's running a 22" (1680x1050) as well. I was able to crank everything up to high and it was very playable with only minor stuttering during heavy combat on high population servers. At Ultra settings it was unplayable. I dropped FXAA to medium and AF to 8x and the stuttering stopped with no real noticable difference in quality.
Hope this helps you out. The 560ti with an OC'd Q6600 is pretty damn good combo for the game at 22" resolution.
That's perfect, thanks for that. What is the visual difference between high and ultra if you don't mind?
I am running the same spec as you but with 30" monitor at 2560x1600. On high settings, I get around 30-40 fps still playable but drops when huge explosions all over the the vicinity. Just now saving up for a newer rig.
