Seen the screens you posted up Gerard, first time ive used side scrolling on my mouse in ages. Thats a lot of desktop real estate.

Its more immersive but 2 cards arent gonna cut it for ultra settings in this game, i was able to run it for a few mins everything maxed and the fps was round 28. :eek:

Id say a quadfire setup would be needed for 60fps consistantly in ultra for eyefinity mode.

so since the game is launching from a browser etc, if ea's servers go down or something can we still play singleplayer? (full release ofcourse)

Beta and it randomly crashes? That is meant to happen in the alpha. Minecraft doesn't even crash in beta and I hack the hell out of it

This is a little bit more complex than a java game.

Or maybe the drivers haven't been properly released yet? The catalyst maker on twitter says not to install any CAP until the new one comes out later this week.

Old CAP + pre-release drivers + Game that hasn't even finished being developed = Low FPS

Joining a server is incredibly annoying. You'd think this would be sorted by now since it's a Beta!!!

lol ctds?

I've had a few, the only other problems is full servers which is inevitable really.

Anyone else playing at 2560x1440 having the same HUD problem as me?

Other than that, getting booted from servers for timeout is my only issue. That and not being able to queue for server

yer me too and how are you finding performance because mine is up and down

Strife212 · 27 Sep 2011 at 23:00

I prefer it a lot once you get inside the Metro funnily enough.

I can get into a game no problem, sucks for those who can't

Tried the server browser europe 5+ method? And the quick game method?

Yeah but theres only so much more performance they can pull out through optomisation, i don't see them making 28fps turn into 60+ through driver and performance tweaks.

Its not unheard of! I'm getting 60FPS on max settings with VYSNC, Gameplay is smooth and truly enjoyable. Hope you get it resolved.

I'm getting over 50 FPS on Ultra @ 6000x1200 with 2 580s

Imo although I haven't noticed any difference from low to ultra settings visually, frame rates do take a hit at higher settings.

I think we definitely need next gen high end cards to play this game nicely.

I still have yet to test my single 5850 at 1920x1080p on ultra lol

Dice were using rigs with 580 sli at all the big game events the past couple of months - and from what I've been able to gather so were the ingame footage demos.

I always see Beta as something to base the gameplay off not the visuals (I'm hoping

)

I'm getting 70-100fps on Ultra! My cards aren't even the latest.

I mean on the Ultra setting

Although as stated I haven't seen any difference between low and ultra visually. The scenery and everything else looks more or less same at both settings

Tom|Nbk · 27 Sep 2011 at 23:11

Anyone give me some 480 sli figures?

ScarySquirrel · 27 Sep 2011 at 23:11
