Think BF3 will benefit from 8GB ram over 4GB much?

Preload kicks off on the 21st (this Friday) so you have days to download it Honestly, for anyone who simply MUST have BF3 on release day (ie. youve taken the day off work) then digital download is the only reliable option, whether it's direct for Origin or a key from elsewhere. Can always guarentee postie to let you down when it most matters!

Oh man, I thought it was release day download. I might have to cancel my other pre-order now then, duuuurrr.

Hi is there any one here that played BF3 alpha or beta dont matter which ,Thats using ever HD6990 or 2X6970 and if so what was your FPS and what was the setting used .

Thanks

The thing is that with graphics getting more and more detailed its not as easy to spot enemy; giving the stationary player a big advantage. On caspian border camping round the hill and forest objective with an AR is effective.

Deluxe1 · 18 Oct 2011 at 22:33

Doesnt matter what setting they used in the Beta it will be different in the retail game.

Not bad. I might go the origin route after all. I want to play it at midnight.

mastering3d · 18 Oct 2011 at 22:37

You don't need another card. Trust me on this. I have numerous clan mates running single 5870's and a couple running them in crossfire.

The game runs perfectly.

Pre-Ordered from the Rainforest. £31.90something. Guaranteed Delivery for the 28th.. albeit via Royal Mail.

mastering3d · 18 Oct 2011 at 23:17

For me i could not play BF3 with CF Because after ten mins i would start to get freezing and stuttering ,Switched of CF and was smoother not perfect getting round 49 to 50 fps that was it .And in the beta setting for gfxs was not working right ,Just dont get it if you say some of your friends are using CF with 5870 and was having no problems then i must have some thing wrong with one my cards BF3 .Just hope there ok in full game ,But just see on twitter theres not going to be any drivers that will run better for BF3 on ati untill the 31st oct .

teaboy5 · 18 Oct 2011 at 23:20

Is anyone picking it up on the high street?

I can't be assed with the DL and paying £10 more to buy it via an online service is a joke.

Looks like "game" are just selling the limited edition version so i hope i will be ok for the added guns and maps.

~>Dg<~ · 18 Oct 2011 at 23:26

to be honest most supermarkets are doing this probably buy it from there
