Have any screenshots been released yet showing differences between MED/HIGH/ULTRA

I'm on the lookout for a new GPU, but i want to see the differences before making a decision on whether the extra ££ for ultra is worth it.

Snaggle · 26 Sep 2011 at 14:27

nothing showing on origin here .. although for some reason i can download the alpha again lol .. hope it shows up soon so we can preload

Never had problems with Game, always get stuff the day before release.

Lol the nvidia bf3 gpu checker says:

''Your PC's ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series does not meet the game's recommended requirements.''

:rolleyes:

Well, it doesn't meet the recommended requirements, I guess that's why.

Of course that doesn't mean it won't run properly, because it probably will.

Your PC's ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series does not meet the game's recommended requirements.

The recommended GPU for Battlefield 3 is a GeForce GTX 560 or higher. Check below to see some upgrade options. To see other system requirements for Battlefield 3, please click here.

It's better than midnight.

WingZero30 · 26 Sep 2011 at 14:44

Not when I am at work all day I want to get the DL going. My download speed is 350kbps. Might have to get the missus to pop home and get it going.

Yeah nothing worse than late night releases, end up sitting around for hours due to some sort of delay and then not get to play it anyway!

1kiwi · 26 Sep 2011 at 14:55

I think 12 is fine. Looking forward to it.

What's the best way we can coordinate getting on the same server?

You say that but imagine instead you had to go home and wait until midnight to start your download. It'd either be a very very late night or you'd be waiting until after work the next day

I thought the beta was out a bit later than this. Quite cool news.

HazardO · 26 Sep 2011 at 14:57

Starting to get excited. I wonder if I'll get 2 keys given that I qualify twice? (MoH LE + BF3 preorder).

+1 for midday over midnight
