I’d like some insight in what performance I can get with my current specs. Is frame rates of 60 fps and above achievable? I know I’m above recommended specs, but I’ve never felt they give any real info on what to expect. I hope there is someone who got a similar setup as I do and that can help me out. The parts are: Intel i7 3770k 3.5 GHz. Geforce GTX 680 4GB. 16 GB RAM, 1600 MHz Samsung SSD to play from. Thanks in advance. ---

I think you’ll be fine, if I were you though I would get a standard HDD to install your games on and keep the SSD for the OS. ---

You will run it on ultra with 55-60 fps at 1080p. If you want smooth 60 fps, set to high settings. The SSD is a must imo, load times are atrocious without one. I would get a 256 GB SSD and put your OS, main programs and select games on it. Use the HDD for media and other games that would not benefit from an SSD as much. BF4 with all expansions is around 55 GB btw, and I barely have any space left on my 128 GB SSD with my OS, main programs and ONLY BF4. ---

I do have a 256 GB SSD, so disc space won’t be a problem. Thanks for the reply. ---

Thanks for the reply. I have both an SSD and a HDD, so I might try both out to see how much of a difference it is. ---

Hmmm no! I have a SSD for Windows + apps. I have a second SSD for multiplayer games (or SP that I want to load fast). I have a HDD for other games. Battlefield on a SSD will load way faster compared to a HDD. Sure, now, there’s a countdown in the beginning of the round to prevent those with fast pc’s to join first and get to flag x,y,z before anyone else… but.. you’ll still be there first-ish.
