battlefield 4 Getting PC Ready for Battlefield 4? Any Upgrades needed

[bikeman25]

Hi All

 

Getting my Pre built PC ready for battlefield 4 later this year

 

System specs are listed below

 

Only change will be in software later this year is Windows 8.1, and Avast Antivirus Free 2014 (aka version 9 when out)  Willing to keep using WIndows Defender as well, just haven't fully decided yet)

 

 

Money wise can't afford too much, I think I can crossfire video with a 6570 video card with this APU so I may do that, after I upgrade the Power supply if I can afford that, not sure yet

 

 

Currently run Battlefield 3 on medium graphic settings

1600x900 resolution

 

Thank you all in advance

 

P.S. Had no choice but to get a new pre built PC, (person that controls my disability money, a family member stated No custom built this time, spend too much for those, they wanted me to get in June 2012 a pre built with a warranty)   So have to work with what I got unforuately

 

 

Think a Corasir Power supply, 500 watts in the future

The system requirements haven't been released so it's hard to say. But you might beable to play it on very low settings.

Oh ok, well I guess will check more once the requirements are released and then go from there.    Thank you for replying though appreciate it

You didn't actually post your system specs...

[McKay]

It's a good bet that if you can run BF3, you can run BF4.

what framerates are you getting with your hardware on BF3?

[The Dark Knight]

I'm not too familiar with all the models of AMD processors, so don't know how powerful those A6 chips really are. But I can say quite confidently that the on-board GFX chip is going to come down to it's knees with BF4. I'm on a Phenom II X4 with 16 GB RAM, a dedicated Radeon HD 5870 and a 22" 1920x1080 resolution display. I'm able to play BF3 on the setting just below Extreme.

Radeon 6530D is a budget card I think, must upgrade that

[bikeman25]

Well can't upgrade the Radeon 6530D, built into the APU Chip, Framerates on battlefield 3 are good, nice and smooth playing, no noticeable lag that I can see on Medium Graphics Settings.  

 

I can possibly crossfire a Second card later on with the Radeon 6530D, 6570 one, but first i'll have to upgrade the Power Supply to support that. 

 

Currently using

Avast Antivirus, haven't updated signature as yet to show that

Would be better if you could tell us how much you can afford?  Adding another 6570 in would prolly make BF4 playable but it would prolly be on medium settings or less. itll be using frostbite 3, BF 3 was using frostbite 2 so the game engine is going to kill off your gfx card as they'll maximise the use of it. You could always buy a 6570 when BF 4 is released then if your not getting the fps to make it play properly return it for a refund and save up for a decent gfx card

[bikeman25]

Well right now can't afford too much, minimum $100.00 is all I can spend right now if I had to, but I may just wait til battlefield 4 is released and check out the requirements fully, and go from there.  On a fixed income, had no choice but buy this pre built PC, so will have to make due as best I can with this for years to come...  

[psionicinversion]

yeah, you may as well. I like to play with high gfx settings cus although i like the story's in stuff if i cant have really good detail it lets it down for me, it's like getting a cam version of a film then watching it blu ray even dvd. cam version lets the film down if you know what i mean

pretty much if your PC will run BF3 well, itll be fine with BF4. (win 7 64bit is also fine)
