Performance remarks:

Getting some tearing so I might try and upgrade to the latest drivers. Assuming this is AMD Crossfire related as I don't think I am alone here.

I think it's important to remember this is a demo and that hopefully once crossfire/SLI support is added I can expect a more fluid gameplay.

I do however want to point out that the most important this is MIN frames. Given that a system like mine can only accomplish 20FPS (when i really need it), I would simply state that I belive EA have a lot of work to with the optimisation. In saying that obviously AMD don't have any mature drivers out for this game yet so I would expect that min frame rate to triple once this game is better supported.

Right, thought i might provide an update:

FPS: MIN:9, MAX:161, AVG:77.403

So by dropping the resolution and AF & MSAA I have gained almost 20 extra frames.

@Shuva61: Who cares what that game looks like when you are so FPS limited that the game is not playable.

Anyways. Installed latest AMD drivers and then benchmarked over 1.5 hours and my frames appears to be greatly improved. I'll now start playing with the AF & MSAA to find a balance...

SAME SETTINGS AS ABOVE WITH LATEST AMD DRIVERS:

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
284310, 3279712, 11, 146, 86.687

UPDATE: 4x AF & MSAA:

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
47759, 583106, 12, 142, 81.904

Really weird that there was only a small drop in frames.

could that cause uber parp performance issues ?

its rediculas, getting 32fps !! every server i go on, also hardcore servers were not hardcore servers, my J button to chat took ages to open, and everytime i respawned it took longer than the seconds counting down

I just had few cracking games on one of the Hardcore servers, all was fine, no problems. Managed to get quite a lot of points and kills too. Great fun :)

I just changed my audio to 'War Tapes' and I must say it sounds like a completely different game. In fact its really hectic and takes a while to start pin pointing certain sounds, but the positional audio is great too.
Just out of curiousity is there much difference between 'War Tapes' and 'Home Cinema' settings?
 
ive just started getting a problem, first of all it wouldnt let me on any server as it said i didnt have PB installed, then now every time i start the game it just does abig white screen and goes to desktop, cant even load the game up now.

Sounds like one of the many problems I have encountered.

I white screen quite regularly, my ATI 5770 crashes and my VPU recover kicks in, screen freezes, when starting on the attacking side the screen is totally black apart from my team makers above their heads, etc etc.

Should all be getting fixed but how they reckon this game will be ready in a little over a month is beyond me!
