Thread: BF3 CPU and GPU performance

TechSpot review: Battlefield 3 GPU & CPU Performance - TechSpot Reviews

I found this interesting, especially after my experience with BC2:

On the CPU side of things, we found that Battlefield 3 is not nearly as CPU demanding as many have made it out to be. Previously tested games, such as Hard Reset, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, The Witcher 2 and Crysis 2, saw a massive difference in performance between dual and quad-core processors. For example, in Deus Ex dual-cores were 43% slower than their quad-core counterparts. Battlefield 3 on the other hand delivered similar frame rates with a decent dual-core as it did with a quad.

Good read, I chose to go with just high settings with msaa off with my 6970. With everything blowing up in your face, I like to keep my frames above 60.
