    Has anyone gotten BF4 to work on any FX machine?

    It appears our systems are listed as about a minimum requirement. Although I think the 2.4 GHz on the CPU is a bit higher. I would forget any kind of playability on the 1920x1200 screens at full res but maybe on the 1440x900's with low details may be a go. The 260m in the later 79xx's will probably have a better go at it.

    Turns out BF4 doesn't work on Core 2 Duo's, despite them saying it would.

    I have a long thread going in BF4 battlelog forum about it... no one with a C2D has been able to get past the loading screen. The game simply freezes.

    I'm using an x9100 @ 3.5ghz... should be enough to get past the loading screen without freezing.

    I'm pretty sure its a coding issue.
