Here is my system: AMD phenom 2 x6 2.80 GHz, 4GB RAM, Radeon HD 5830 1GB. Can I play it with good settings?

You should be able to play at decent settings. AFAIK it's pretty similar (slightly lower overall, sometimes higher depending on the game) in performance to my card (460) which is about 15% slower than their recommended spec (560). Are you OC'ing it? What resolution do you play at? I don't think you'll have a huge issue running it at or slightly above 1680x1050 with more than a few bells and whistles turned on. From my experience with BC2, Frostbite seems to react a lot more to changes in CPU than in GPU. OC'ing my 920 from 2.67 GHz to 3.6 GHz did a lot more in that game than swapping from a 9800GTX+ to a 460 GTX.


Good to hear. I play at 1680x1050. I don't know anything about overclocking because I lost my interest in PC gaming ages ago due to my PS3 and PSP so I was happy with the performance of my computer. Battlefield 3 is the first game I'll buy after Dragon Age, which came out two years ago.
