I have too many surprises for thieves.

this thread makes me sad, some of you guys are scraping by with pretty dismal setups. on a side note, seeing all these i5 2500's and i7 2600's under 4ghz. WTF. Y U NO OVERCLOCK? can hit 4.5 on a stock cooler at 3.5 volts

CPU: i5 2500k @ 4.8ghz @ 3.4V
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX-570HD
RAM: 4gb Corsair Dominator GT @ 2400mhz (2gb x2)
Mobo: Asus Maximus IV Extreme
In-game FPS: 87
In-game resoloution: 1920x1080
In-game settings: MAXIMUM.
Antialiasing: 8x

With hyperthreading enabled?

CPU: i7 2600k @ 4.6ghz w/HT
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 580 SOC
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance
Mobo: P8Z68-V Pro
In-game FPS: 90-200
In-game resoloution: 1920x1080@120Hz
In-game settings: Everything LOW
Antialiasing: 1x

Is that 8X MSAA?
And all settings Ultra?
Amazed that you can pull 87 frames, on ultra, with MSAA, on a GTX570. You're running two in SLI right? :p

i5 2500k does not have hyperthreading.

Touche~

On my 2600k i run 4.7ghz stable with HT on, but with it off i can go 4.7 - 5.1 easily. With 24/7 volts of course.

But i remember reading somewhere that BF3 likes Hyperthreading

pc wouldnt boot with voltage that high m8
