£200 + roulette wheel = smooth gameplay to the extreme

Heh made makes me smile anyway, im just waiting on a certain Mr William Hill to pay out on a £200 bet at odds of 8/1. The result is already almost certain, which takes some of the fun out of it. Thats how im planning to upgrade/buy a new pc for gaming! So it can be done, you just need to know what your doing AND get a little lucky.

I think EA and DICE are in cahoots with nvidia and AMD to make us all panic and think we need kickass GPU, when most current ones will run it fine

So do we think the 560 can take it?

Have a look at the thread I posted a while ago.

I played the Alpha on my GTX285 @ 1680 x 1050 with on average 57 fps, obviously not on the DX11 settings though but the highest I could get on DX10. It can be assumed that a 560 as Johake has shown,w ill run it well

hey, well alpha was OK for me too and I'm with amd 5770 (1920x1080) but alpha was alpha... and however looked nice, most of gfx settings were disabled anyway.

back to topic... why would you go for 560Ti 2GB over 1GB. I know more memory = better, but does it make any difference when played on single monitor @1920x1080 ? Reason I'm asking I've seen good reviews of that MSI 560Ti Twin Frozr II card which you can get for under £200 and it looks quite nice. I'm in great need to upgrade my hd5770 so that can play BF3 in some decent settings once it's out.
