Planetside 2 and optimization

[drhax]

Hello. Most of us have noticed this game is a lot more optimized now but does it use enough of the GPU?

ATM I play on low setting and average about 50-60 FPS.
My specs:
2500k @ 4.4
8 GB ram
GTX 560TI

Will upgrading from a GTX 560TI to a GTX670 make a big enough difference even though this game is more CPU sided. I'm hoping it will to play on high with similar FPS.

Hmmm I dont think it will, Im currently running
AMD 2.8
4GB Ram
GTX 250
I can get around 30 to 40 FPS, and this is on medium setting. Ive can run around at the crown and not have to much of a frame rate drop, actually its pretty smooth. But Nvdia have been slacking on there cards alot lately, I think your system specs are perfect. The GTX 670 is an over clocked 560, so dont fall for nvidia's little tricks. I have noticed one thing about Nvidia when they come out with a new series of cards is when they have a big jump in perfomance. I would ride this out or look into ATI, even I was looking at them the other day, and there prices werent to bad.

I wouldn't, rumor has it that AMD is looking to be purchased. (http://www.neowin.net/news/amd-might-be-putting-up-a-for-sale-sign)

560 vs 670:

40 nm vs 28 nm
1 gig ram vs 2 gig ram
336 shaders vs 1344 shaders
128128 MB/sec bandwidth vs 192000 MB/sec
45360 Mtexels/sec vs 102480 Mtexels/sec

Going to 8 gigs of ram would do you wonders Qwan. It's even in their 'recommended' spec list. 4 gigs is the bare minimum.
