| 1210638 | 2011-06-20 00:41:00 | ATIs Website: Suggested AMD Radeon™ HD 6970 System Requirements 550 Watt or greater power supply with one 150W 8-pin PCI Express® power connector and one 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended Certified power supplies are recommended. Refer to ati.amd.com for a list of Certified products I prefer one single card over crossfire with two. |

| 1210641 | 2011-06-20 03:30:00 | If it was me, and it says 550w I'd buy a 650w. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1210642 | 2011-06-20 04:31:00 | would the above specs be suitable for battlefield 3? The system requirements for BF3 arent out yet so no one knows. However if this card cant handle it then my 460 is in big trouble.. |

| 1210643 | 2011-06-20 06:42:00 | The system requirements for BF3 arent out yet so no one knows.. But if they want to sell lots of copies, they have to make it run on mid range systems. |

| 1210644 | 2011-06-21 00:51:00 | okay ill see if i can get a 6970!!! probably b able to run bf3 at high-ultra... | clwsham (16313) | ||
| 1210645 | 2011-06-21 01:03:00 | "The minium requirements for running battlefield 3 on pc are quite reasonable" "without going into detail, if you have equivalent hardware matching the consoles - not cpu to cpu, but matching output, thats your low spec" "The computer that will be able to run battlefield 3 on full settings has yet to be built". - Patrick (BF3 team) Btw the demo that was played live to audiences (if you have seen it) was running off a single 580gtx. As for the last quote about the pc that can run bf3 on high yet to be built, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! |

| 1210646 | 2011-06-21 01:14:00 | i would imagine that 4 6990s in crossfire would help considerably in your quest for gaming nirvana... | clwsham (16313) | ||
