Battlefield 3 RETAIL Performance Thread

Sorry. Settings are at 1920x1200, tried to max out everything, including MSAA 4X, 90 Field of View (actually what FoV is equivalent as human eye?). However not sure about Motion Blur so I left the bar in the middle.

wow look real nice them .can you tel me how you display 1and 2 gpu's fps.i downloaded afterburner but it only shows 1 gpu runing.what seting you use..thx
 
Enjoy the card mate, I have a gtx 580 1.5gb CUii and it's flying threw the game too, SLI or CFX on high end cards is not needed for this game unless you want to game at 120 FPS constant on a single screen :D, you only need SLI or CFX for multi screen setups and resolutions like 2500 x 1600 with lots of AA. It looks stunning and I have really enjoyed playing it in SP and MP. I think the topic of 3gb cards required is well and truly buried now. People that judge beta code on what the release code will be is silly as we have seen now, release code goes threw massize amounts of optimising and bugs removed that can cause memory leaks to fill up VRAM with useless data as we see and new drivers for the games are written to make sure the new code runs well and does not cause memory leaks to fill the VRAM up with useless data too.

Look forward to gaming with you from Friday!
 
Using a 4870x2 with cats 11.10 preview 3 graphic settings high, im getting about 50fps average and doesnt drop below25fps but I'm having to use the alt+enter trick so it uses both cores. Its becoming very annoying hope this is fixed soon
 
My O/C'ed 480 (~580 @ stock) sounds like i'll be right on the money for this @ 1080p. Sweet.:cool:

Will be interesting to see if i can tweak it to get ~ 120fps. Should look EPIC on my 27inch 120Hz samsung!:cool:
 
This is post I needed to see to make me feel better about forking out £400 for a graphics card! THANK YOU!

Well..its been debated how much Vram you need...and I took gamble on 1,5Gb when the MSI's were on for 360 TWO deal at Ocuk. But...there isnt need for higher VRAM unless you playing in really high rez. Game plays very soothly...none of this microstuttering malarky :) Only issue i get is some times load into a map and some textures are black...but I read its a driver issue. Its only happened 2 times though so no biggie.
 
I can't believe there are people that think that the graphics in BF3 are no better or only little better than BC2.....
 
I think the VRAM issue is not a problem as much as people are making it out to be.

Like i say i ran fully ultra settings on my 6870, and although the FPS were a bit low it didnt sttuter for seconds on end or crash, it was still consistent.

Both game, card and new headset all arriving tomorrow. Will report my findings when I'm up and running!
 
Cheers, hopefully my copy will be here today, I will probably try it with the drivers installed and update to 285.62 if I have any problems
 
Changed to 90, fps is the same and can't tell the difference (I did restart the game for the change to take effect)
