Wont there always be new gfx cards coming out? By that logic you should wait forever and not upgrade coz gfx cards will always be improved. .. unless you are a mad man like Trevor and can only play with the newest of the newest then you might have to wait a bit.

i'll stick to my 980x and 580's(when i can afford more of them) hopefully it will cause a price drop on current stuff. |

Spending £150 on a video card should give you at a minimum of a years usage. The new gen cards won't be a massive leap over whats currently out there. These are the recommended cards according to http://bf3blog.com/battlefield-3-system-requirements . My 8800GTS 512 is way down on the list  (prices in dollars BTW)  http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html |

Tempting as it is to get something new before the game's out, I think it would be best to wait until it's out and been thoroughly benchmarked to death before reaching for the credit card. Seen some reports saying you need 2 x 580's to run it at full, seen others saying the gfx card requirements will be about the same as BC2 (a single 5850 runs BC2 very well for me).

single 5850 plays bc2 @ full 1920 for me smooth as butter, so hopefully bf3 will be ok |

I think server lag is likely to more a problem than anything else. But looking at the list if you have anything higher than Geforce GTX 460 it should play fine. I'll probably wait, but for a bit more punch the Radeon 6950 is going for £180 and the Geforce 560ti that I may go for is going for around £150. |

mmm 6950 is tempting, only if i can shift my 5850 for £80is then only a £100 upgrade |
