Test your computer to see if it is BF3 compatible.

Here is a good web site to test your computer to see if it is BF3 compatible.

Your PC's NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT does not meet the game's recommended requirements.

None of my computers meet the game's recommended requirements.

Tomshardware.com has done a lot of benchmarking with BF3 and a lot of different hardware.

The take home is that you need a dual core to run it at all, but that any newer 2+ core cpu will do fine.

It looks really ugly with DX10 NVIDIA cards. Driver issues with AMD dual GPU setups (crossfire or dual on a card) need fixing.

If I were buying a video card for it today, it'd be an AMD 6970 - at 1080p it gets 70 fps for $340. AMD 6950 gets 60fps for $260, NVIDIA GTX570 62fps for $330.

Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited by law.

(Still waiting for the DVD to arrive, cuz I want the box).

I also have checked my computer at this website: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

of course I FAIL. I am trying to decide between a Alienware system or a Vision Computer gaming system.

check out Falcon North West and the Mach V http://www.falcon-nw.com/desktops/mach-v . The video cards are set vertical for better cooling. I had one built to play BF3 at highest everything and I think it was @ 4k. They are very customizable, best to talk with one of there sales guys
