Can You Run It I don't have BF3 but according to this site, it says I can and I have only a GTS 450. It is not the 'publishers' recommended card but it still passes so I would say that your dual GTX 460 should be able to so I am guessing you have something else going on.

Whatever the issue is, it can't be your hardware. Here is my system... Win7 64bit Intel Q6600 G0 stepping 4GB Crucial Ballistix gamer ram SATA HD 7200rpm Nvidia 8800gts (not sli) Enter the game and turn all your settings to low, AA off etc if that doesn't work you may have a software issue. Whatever it is you have a far superior machine, there is no reason for you not be able to run the game in a playable state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a piss off, but you'll get thru... Your cards are enough to run the game at high settings at 1680 X 1050, maybe even 1080P... I would recommend running driversweeper, scrap all nVIDIA drivers, reboot, and install 285.62 again..... Unles you thing one of your card is unstable for some reason, it's NOT the cards....your dual 460s are as strong as a single GTX580....period. Unless you try to run all maxed out (Ultra settings+2560 X 1600 rez) you're golden.... Now, gotta find the software glitch! Cheers! MOFO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I had a friend of mine who is one smart ass geek check out my system and found out that although I have the latest drivers for everything I will not be able to play it untill I do a complete Format of my HD and start again. And the shit of it all is.....Its my fault for being stupid....When I built my comp I installed windows 7 32bit . Which does not support the amount of memory I have, also It does not allow me to get the best out of my cpu or gpu and means I am screwd because it causes a conflict between my Bios which does recognise the memory and windows which does not.. Hense the crashing and blue screen failure's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Well, SLI gets disabled by default on new driver install, so you have to re-enable it. My 560Ti's in SLI are factory overclocked, like Monkey's cards, and I have no issues....strange anyway...gotta be a monkey in the case lol...

I run everything on ultra, x16, 2xmssa, motion blur off(gives me headaches) @ over 60 fps on 1900x1200. I'm running I7 [email protected] and 2 470's in sli overclocked to 740 core, 6 gig of 1600 barley oc'd so really close to your set-up. Sounds to me like you need to bump some voltages up a little on your overclock. Are you using 3x4 gig stick or 6x2 gig sticks of ram? Cause 6 sticks will put alot more stress on the Imc of the cpu, and this game is still full of memory leaks. What type of crashes just to desktop, bsod, hard locks or what? moebetta I would delete your drivers and reinstall using clean install and only install the main driver and physx parts of the driver, I got those to and this helped me. BTW you cant just roll back nvidia drivers anymore it will fuck them up bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
