Thought i'd add, Phenom II 955 a 4GHz with a 6950 at 840/5200, running at 1920x1080 with high settings and it's smooth for me. Thats on a 120Hz monitor too.

I'm running the 11.10 amd drivers.

Runs pretty nicely on my 5870 and Q6600, you won't have to get whole new system.

Good to know, thanks.

i don't have any pre-order code or such like, so can anyone tell me how i can get access to the open beta, will it just appear as an option to download in my origin (i played the alpha), will there be a link on the battlefield blog or what?

JamesM · 28 Sep 2011 at 10:18

I presume it will be a case of visit a website, request a code and they will email it to you, then you enter it in Origin?

Or something similar haha

I downloaded it and copied the files over to another machine and it worked fine :/

Are you just copying the 'Origin Games' folder? Or something else aswell?

I've seen it done on this psu if it struggles I change simples

I had 480's SLI'd on my Corsair TW750w and it was fine for me [on sig rig] until I upgraded [downgraded? lol] to one 580. I'll buy another 580 when they drop in price

Wow spammed the heck out of the only Caspian Border server, no slots.

Well in pure speed it's a downgrade, uses less power up though.

Many questions Neil79...

What FPS were you getting?

What graphics card you have have?

Temps?

Haven't looked, they are average to good depending on what direction i'm facing

BillHicksRIP · 28 Sep 2011 at 10:34

Never did get my beta key. EA clowns.

Angst · 28 Sep 2011 at 10:35

Well i loved the alpha but so far all this beta has done is try its best to make me hate it.

ScarySquirrel · 28 Sep 2011 at 10:38

Why the **** has zh1nt0 given out a Caspian Border password, which will then be changed later? Just give us all access you ****!

I'm feeling abit similar, feels like a beautiful COD game atm. I can kinda imagine what it will be like with vehicles and bigger maps, but it seems daft that they woudnt want to show off such features during this BETA, aswell as the start of the metro map being, imo, really poor.

GizmoTheMogwai · 28 Sep 2011 at 10:39

I've read multiple posts that Caspian Border runs better then Metro...

How is that possible exactly?

iKettles · 28 Sep 2011 at 10:39

Just played a round of Caspian, awesome!!
