If you're running at 1920x1080 don't expect those newer games to run with 16x AA and everything on ultra.
side note: srredfire ordered a 680.
It is recommended to run BF 3 with two GTX 580s (in my case I only have one). At max settings Xfire got my frames around 45-47.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
Memory: 8 Gbs RAM
Hard Drive: 64 GB SSD (for OS and apps) and 1 Tb subsidiary SATA (for everything else)
Just a direct copy and paste of what my readout is on my Xfire.
I got about the same of that but I get 80-120 fps in bf3 at max at 1920*1080
EDIT: Ok it may drop down to 55 when there's heavy combat in close areas but that really is the lowest framerate I ever get in bf3. My card is only overclocked by a 100MHz so that shouldn't really give that much of a boost in bf3 performance. I also have to MSI edition and I've heard that their version has better performance because of the cooling
