My Retinas got burned. And I outdated the PS3 and 360. Bugger.

I doubt the difference is actually that big, I've seen comparison videos and they are very similar.

To get that 60fps and 1080p you are going to have to pay through the nose. Unless you want launch prices higher than the PS3, I think next-gen can hold off another year or two.

Thats actually not true.

I have 2 computers which are fairly good specs wise and my old computer which has an Phenom x4 955 and an overclocked GTX 560Ti was able to run this game at max with no AA at 50-60 fps. Those are not very expensive parts these days and one can easily get extremely good visuals out of battlefield 3 with a 600 dollar PC.

Adding AA obviously would slow it down, but oyu really don't need AA at 1080p and 24 inch or smaller monitors.

My PC cost me £400 (about $600 too) and it can only just max Crysis at 720p with no AA. Battlefield Bad Company 2 runs terrible on my PC, it says 40fps but to be honest it looks like 20fps.

Yeah, my 600 dolalr quote was a "build it yourself" price.

If you go to BestBuy, dell or whoever...600 will get nothing worthwhile.

I bought a basic PC and began switching out old components. I have saved up plenty of money to upgrade further but I'm stepping away from PC gaming for a while. When I do get back into it I'll probably only use it for emulators and use basic components, enough to max games on Dolphin.
