Testing CPU and GPU in Battlefield 3 at Techspot gives some interesting results.
Basically a Sandy dual core or an AMD A6-3650 paired with a GTX580 will perform on par with all the big guns in gaming CPUs. So no, you don't need a quad or "octo" core to play this game well. You need a strong GPU. http://www.techspot.com/review/458-b...nce/page7.html |

I have it off. With the card OCed I hover around 50 FPS, in wide open areas with 64 player i may dip to 45FPS but I have everything on high with 2xmsaa 16x AF and HBAO on

Think i'll make some space on my SSD and remove BFBC2.
I personally find this much more rewarding and frustrating which means i like it. I've tinkered with my mouse dpi, gfx settings and after a few hours gameplay it's like a comfy pair of slippers. Slippers that fetch me beer and rub my neck when I gets pc posture problems... |

Yeah for Christ's sake people I know you are all excited to share a good link but at least look at a page or two back first. Thats not just picking on Johnny and I know we all miss posts.

Yeah I put it on my SSD too (only 60GB and the first big install of anything besides Windows I've put on it). Of course, loading faster is always good but I'm wondering how much benefit I really get as it's not like you can start a new round as soon as loaded up. I may move it and put Skyrim on there instead next month, idk yet...

I seen a lot of difference in stuff like fences and antennas, something like wires that are skinny are not so jagged.

After some concerns of the slow loading of the OP, I have changed the resolutions of the pictures. Each picture is under 300K and alittle easier on the slower connections.

I think he was talking about the Athlon X2 they tested which IMO should work fine but some people are trying to play on older 775 dual cores and that is were I see issues in the future. I would like to see a benchmark of those chips as well.

No dude as Ive tried to explain three times I'm not talking about the effects of applying AA specifically (less jaggies) but rather that turning off Post seemed to make the whole damn image (game) look less blurred and crisper and better. But no one else seems to care so done beating this horse.

![]() Still got a listing for dude though. I think they screwed up battlelog stats, for sure, as I got 5-6 knife kills, but there is not a lsiting for 5-6 tags, even though there should be. Of course, one of those tags was the DICE Dev one. |

BF3 has hit in the UK at last and well....
The single player, although it does look stunning an is an excellent show case piece, it is basically a pile of stage managed brain dead CoD-esque crap......i got bored of it before even finishing Operation Swordwhatever. BFBC2 was much more fun (single player). Of course, multiplayer is where it is at and that seems much better. As i suspected, the flight vehicles feel totally horrible and unnatural to fly. Although I crossed my fingers and preyed for a BF2 style flight system, I knew it was never gonna happen. Preferring to fly with a gamepad, I have come across my first irritation; the game doesn't let you configure your gamepad, instead it wants you to be stuck with (absolutley f-ing shitty) default gamepad controls. After a disasterous outing in the chopper, I decided to go find an empty server to practice on and thus my second irritation; The game doesn't let you move around empty servers, instead you are just stuck to the spot.....I mean WTF are those stupid f-kers thinking about? So, does anyone have any suggestions as to how someone can learn the flight mechanics without putting his death tally through the roof and/or pissing off other players on a busy populated active server? |

Meh, something is up o ntheir server back-end, as I just got 4 emails about GunClub, for stuff I had received emails for long ago. Other stats also seem broken. Thankfully, I still have that image that I posted in this thread, so I'll try to hit them up and see what's up.

Ok some stuff is going up at bf3stats but still "work in progress". Wish could link direct and dynamically to image in sig; downloading local is making it blurry.

that sucks man, hopefully you give it a try at some point. battlelog really isn't bad and i haven't even looked at origin since installing. it's really as simple as loading battlelog and clicking one of the play buttons.
