will this graphics card run Battlefeild 3 on ultra with no lag?

Yes, I think the previous user response about RAM is important too. I have this card and easily get 70-75fps consistently. If you buy this card you should be set for some time...
1993476
Yea it will however make sure u have enough ram and processer to go along with ur card.

I do not know for sure but I had absolutely no trouble with Skyrim at its highest setting. As stated below, your internet connection if playing online, processor, and higher ram capacity of your setup are just as important.

Will this graphics card run Battlefeild 3 on ultra with no lag/ @60FPS?,.. No. I'm almost certain Buffy is referring to FPS and not data lag. I run a Intel i7 2nd Gen. 2600k CPU, 16gig 1600mhz RAM, and a GTX 580 1.536 and with a little tweaking of the in-game video options I have come to a very satisfying compromise (60 FPS) but just a good GPU won't cut it. The CPU, GPU, and Ram speed go hand in hand. Your cpu speed is critical due to the fact it must be fast enough to keep up with your GPU. Investing in a high end GPU with a low end CPU or the opposite, will usually "bottleneck" the game performance, resulting in low FPS, choppy game play. I wouldn't bother with RAM speeds over 1600mhz. Anything higher then 1600mhz is still a waste of money. Settings like Textures, HBOA, MSAA, Shadows, Antialias Post & Antialias Deferred can all be adjusted in game. MSAA seems to be the culprit in everyone's chugging fps issues. "The people who tested this game at Hard OCP noticed, with their settings on ultra, putting even 2x MSAA dropped their fps from 60 to about 30 on a single GPU card." Also driver updates released from Nvidia over the past year have greatly improved my GPU's performance. I am very satisfied with the 580 and Nvidia. They have made me a loyal customer. FYI: this card will also smoke any Valve game out there. I mean frame rates into the hundreds! I'm a huge L4D2 & TF2 fan =)

If by "no lag" you mean a solid 60 FPS, no, but it'll come close. Your CPU, Vsync setting, and connection speed (at least in multiplayer), would obviously also factor in.

Lag is caused by the internet connection and the server. This graphics card has no problem what so ever running the game itself. This would be noticed in multi-player however lag is affected by the server you are on, its location and the server itself. If you play the game in single player mode there should be no hiccups. I play multi-player and lag usually isn't an issue, if it is I just change servers and problem solved.

I'd say "maybe". I don't remember if it sets all setting to ultra or not, but in practical terms you'll be searching for ways to get advantages. Most of the problems in BF3 are due to "client side hit detection", but being human, we'll keep lowering settings. I'm running a 19" monitor just fine at fairly high, albeit tweaked settings. Check your frame rates: In the game, use the ~ thing, and type in render.draw.fps true that will give frame rates in the game. I hope this is some help to you.

yes u can, i am running this card now on a X38 chipset board with a Q6600 and i run BF3 on Ultra, and still get 60 fps, im sure with a newer gen board and chip it will perform outstanding but right now i have no problems

It works amazingly with planetside and battlefield 3! I can set both to ultra and get 40 fps away from the battle and 20-30 fps while in the fight! Definatly works well with other games like Skyrim, Xcom, Starcraft 2, World of Warcraft and Total War: Sogun 2. But it also depends on your proccesor, ram, cache and OS. But in general, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 2gb runs pretty well on most games.

James, if you are not running any mmorpg games, go with the bare minimum. I built mine with a 3.2 ghz dual core Pentium, 6 gig ddr RAM, 500 Gb hd, and NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT video.

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have??Woody

This pc runs a lot of games pretty well.....but BF3 you will have to run on MED, BF4 should be same settings....you should be fine...

Not at all. It uses PCI 2.1 so make sure your motherboard provides that. It runs super cool!

Yes, I think so. I can play Battlefield 3 and Skyrim on Maximum settings, at 1680x1050 with very very few lags in graphics. These are two of the most graphically intensive games I know. You should have no problem. Make sure you have at least a 500W PSU to run the card and the rest of your system. I have a 495W PSU and it runs the 2GB GTX 660, my Q6600 Quad Core Processor and 4 GM of RAM, no problems. This card also runs very cool under load, its worth the money. I highly recommend it!

No it runs almost all games on high or ultra graphics the only exception I found so far is battlefield 4
945566
Yep, runs ok. In game you may have to go to the video settings and change rendering to "software" instead of "hardware" to make it run smooth.

I can run 3 games on ultra at the same time and I mean BF4 and the craziest games with no problem at all. upgrading would be a good idea but it all has to be in your budget

Yes, it will play it at high settings reasonably (averaging over 30 FPS), but will not play well at the max/ultra settings.

This handles anything like a champ. I got 60 fps anywhere when I played World of Warcraft. With my previous graphics card I was running roughly 35-50. Depending on what I was doing.

I believe it would. I have thrown Rome 2 total war,left for dead 2,killing floor as well as DayZ Standalone and not once have I had any issue.Its a solid computer with an amazing graphics card......yes outdated but, not weak lol

I can run BF4 on Ultra on my 2560x1080 60 Hz ultra-wide monitor, and average 55-60 fps. I typically run BF4 on high to ensure I don't get any performance dips. This is a great graphics card for gaming.

Hi PJ, for great performance using ultra settings you would need a system with a GTX760 or better video card. We sell several with GTX760, GTX770 & GTX780.
