[Solved] Will this run bf3 on ultra

It depends, what resolution you're planning to run the game on, the amount of memory you have; the GPU is good enough, although the CPU might be better. You will probably not be able to use ultra settings, but high settings might work.

Looks like i will be buying a i7-950 with a GTX 560 Ti Maximum Graphics Edition, and for the resolution 1600x900 that should run the game with only 2-3 options turned to high and sorry if i sound like a idiot to you i am new to PC Gaming

why not go with the i-5 2500k? It is cheaper than that i-7, and is a great overclocker

yup, 2500k for you !

grats on the new build!

Will someone tell me if this will run BF3 at mostly high setting at 30fps? I plan on buying this, but I want to make sure I can run it.

Sorry haha, there

It will.
What resolution BTW ?

At that resolution, it may run well at 30FPS, but who knows. At high, yes, at ultra, maybe not.

Batman Arkham Asylum is a lot more less demanding, so you can run that game fine without a problem.

If you wanna run your games at Ulta for BF3 your gonna need to have 2 580's in SLI

You can use three screens with the game
Next 1 - 3 weeks will bring more information about maps
Battlelog application for iPhone/iOS (free). No word on Android.
Battlelog is updated separately to allow game updating to be a bit more flawless
More community events in the works (some happening here on enterbf3!)
Mod tools are still a possibility
Two nVidia GTX 580's can run the game on ultra
Battlefield 3 may be available on the Xbox marketplace
Some 300 employees at DICE

Recommended is for medium, and if you keep following the tweets it's been confirmed that you need two gtx580's for ultra.

2 580's in SLI sounds like overkill, or they are just trying to get people to spend money on Nvidia high end cards. I will be playing the BETA later today when I get off work. I have a MSI GTX 470 Twin Frozr II and I can run Crysis 2 maxed out at 1920x1200 and get very decent framerates. Around 30-40 FPS. VERY playable! This is with the DX11 patch and High Resolution Texture patch as well. Just so everyone knows...here are my system specs.

MSI 890FXA-GD65 mobo
AMD Phenom II 945 Quad Core 3.0Ghz
8GB DDR3-1066 RAM
MSI GTX 470 Twin Frozr II
Corsair Force Series 3 120GB SSD (OS Drive)
Corsair HX750 PSU Professional Series

I was in the Alpha and run it on high with a 460 GTX (768mb) with no problems. For ultra I'm not sure though.

Ah, I take it back then. I still find that hard to believe. Perhaps by ultra they mean at resolutions above 1080p and with every single setting turned all the way up, even the most demanding like HBAO and tessellation, along with super sampling.

Here is where they correct themselves and say the recommended is for high though:

In that case ULTRA for me :3

BF3 is the crack for the gaming community, every tom dick and harry wants to run it on ultra, but the reality is it takes a lot of money to attain that level, at the end of the day the game is not worth that effort, maybe if they add content rather than eye candy it will be worth shelling out $4000 to max it out.

You will do very well to put Ultra out of your mind and just play the game on high, have fun, move on and realize just how bad it really is.
