when you have the 1090T it probably will not be an improvement.

I ran BC2 just fine on a Dual Core, but I had it running pretty heavily OC'd. The reason we play BF on PC is because they actually make the game look great for us on PC, it's not some ported crap, if you want ported crap, play COD. You should be able to play BF3 just fine at lower settings on a dual core, but like we told you before, you CPU is a 5 year old CPU and your vid card is 4 years old. Playing a game that is suppose to be pushing the envelope for PC gaming on a 5 year old rig and crying about it makes no sense. You should have excepted you would be playing on Low settings. There is a difference between a PC gamer and a person who plays some games on their PC. The latter of the two will be running a dual core and windows XP (notice BF3 doesn't support that either despite it still being heavily used).

Good choice on GPUs if you're not gonna wait for 7000 series or need more vram than 1GB. Still best bang for buck.

So once I used the HMG on tank the difference to light machine gun was obvious. It's more like a light cannon than a "gun". Like the Bradley fires in BC2. Can that damage heavy armor?

I love the multiple upgrades and loadout options on the vehicles.

The game unlocked today for me, I'm really busy these days so it wasn't so bad to come this late. A few considerations.
Apart from the occasional disconnections, kicks by admins and the program has stopped working, lag in Tehran, long load times, browser, origin, the game itself and probably other dozen processes running at the same time, when it works this game is the best looking PC game the humanity has produced in the few decades since we're at it.

DICE delivered big time and I think that most of our expectations are fulfilled. If someone bothered with the SP on maximum settings allowed, then I think we all agree that the visuals are outstanding.

Now, the game plays very well on my machine, all maximum settings, vsync on, 50ish FPs in SP, in multiplayer closer to 60 at 1680x1050. The bad thing is EA has not send me any mail regarding the code for PWP which I bought for this limited edition. I'll wait till tomorrow then I'll get really pissed.

Would you say the CAP4 is actually worth using in contrast to the other CAP's?

No question. I'm on the 11.10 preview3 and using them, but they work just as well with the WHQL's. New driver is coming out next week too.

Mine was stacked on another email sent by EA. I just searched "warfare" in my email and I found it.

Except for the start of the rounds on Caspian I never see the AA tanks on either side. Could just be a wierd coincidence and the map is pretty big but I've been playing it almost exclusively and often so wondering if there's a respawn bug or something.

I am not paying for the HF 6850s. Those are free and I will most likely be using them for testing only.

Well 6850s are nice step up from a single 5850 which was also what I had last. I too am curious to see what they can do with that CPU in this game.
