Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

these were mentioned a few pages back. Think they must be among the cheapest

Wow they do indeed seem to be cheapest with every DLC included to date

 

[smogsy]

cant wait to give my new cards there run for there money, however before

my CPU was not taxed at all.

CPU: 45% Usage (i7)
GPU - 99% always
2560x1600 - On High

Hoping for
CPU - 90%
GPU 99% on Both GPU's
2560x1600 ultrra?

 

[silversurfer]

Is it possible that during heavy destructions/action/firefight, the cpu can be overloaded ?

My Q6600 usage was always around 95-99% while playing this game.

I find on cpu intensive games raising the cpu speed does seem to help the min frame rate

The load on your CPU will only reach a certain level.

You aren't going to max out a 3ghz Core i7 with a game, because games don't need that much CPU power. Its all about graphics power.

If seeing nice full graphs massages your ego, under clock your CPU.

i saw a link a while back in this thread that cpu 3ghz+ didnt see much fps improvement but 2+ helped a bit.

Ah looks like the single player is going to be short as i suspected. Was quite interested too after looking at some trailers. Never mind. Shame tho.

I presume this is plenty cpu power for BF3

On the other hand, has anyone seen this excellent heli gameplay footage. He must be using joystick/analogue sticks pad. No way you can achieve such sharp and quick movements with K+M

 

[spiki]

is it ok to go ahead & uninstall the beta? Will it affect the full game release or stats etc if I remove it from my puter?

[Tombo]

Stars are reset from the beta anyway.

 

[setter]

I found the beta to be more gpu dependant than cpu. though that could change in release version. Bfbc2 on the other hand is pretty cpu dependant, at stock the cpu is a serious bottleneck for me with multi gpu's.

 

[Kmodo]

Which of these machines will need upgrading the most to run BF3?

e8400 stock / 4gb ram / 4850 (512mb) x2
e8400 stock / 4gb ram / 280gtx
X6 1075 stock / 4gb ram / 5770

Thats impressive heli skills. His comment on youtube says he uses k/board and mouse

 

[Kouba]

What are you guys talking about? I thought it was surprisingly easy to control the heli with k/board and mouse o.0

 

[mi9tchy]

Anyone know cheapest place to order BF3 CD Key to put straight into Origin?

How legitimate is that site?

Games will utilise as much CPU as they need.

does BC2 really max out a 3ghz Core i7 ?

was thinking the same myself

 

[Efour]

Man a good chopper pilot and gunner just make me cream myself that is just so awesome.

I hope AT mines don't blow up choppers too much, that annoys me.
