Well apparently Ultra hasn't been fully implemented into the beta. Also don't forget that this is a small map, and doesn't support 64 players.

Performance will therefore probably dip significantly when playing 64 player Conquest.

number of players wont effect FPS unless they all use rpgs and have unlimited ammo and no reload time firing at your feet.

Runs pretty well on my setup, with all settings on High, about 45-50fps average, haven't seen it go below 40.

Screen res: 2048x1152
Graphics card: 5870 1GB stock clocks
CPU: Core i7 2600k @4.5Ghz w/16GB 1600Mhz RAM

Will probably end up going crossfire 6950s to run this at max.

After pairing your 5870 with a new cpu, did you see a performance increase?

Wrong. It's precisely the reason the console version is limited to 24 players. If it didn't affect performance, then it would have the same limit as the PC version.

Thought the reason they couldnt have more than 24 was due to actual lack of ram/cpu power...not graphics power? the ps3 had to get some of its memory re used because it simply does not have enough. There limited at 30fps, which suggests they can do more. Dont think its graphic performance there limited on.

DICE has previously said that they tested Battlefield 3 with 128 players and that the game technically supports up to 256 players at once on PC. However, according to DICE, that many players simply wasn’t fun. We think quite a few Battlefield fans would disagree

Ok so, we all need quad 580gtxs then to handle 256 players? explain that :)

No, you would then have to turn down the graphics settings.

As explained by DICE:
"We tried to get more players in [to the console version] but then you need to scale down all the graphics, scale down all the destructibility, and sometimes you need to scale down all the map sizes."
