Cyberpower Gaming Battalion 502 Windows 8 PC Review (FX 4170 / Radeon 7770)

According to EA, Battlefield 3 garnered 3 million pre-orders by the day of its release. It is unknown at present whether these figures are worldwide or just for the US. The pre-order total makes it “the biggest first-person shooter launch in EA history”, according to the publisher. The engine is beautiful on the PC and very demanding of the partnering hardware.

We used the game's demanding ‘Ultra' setting to push today's gaming hardware.

Battlefield 3's demanding Ultra setting is surprisingly playable with the combination of FX 4170 CPU and 1GB 7770 GPU. A few dips below 30 FPS may be the point that causes users to lower the settings, but Ultra image quality is still playable for a large proportion of the campaign mode.
