anyone got a 5870 running bf3?

i'm getting 45-60 from what i remember seeing on caspian,

all HIGH settings
ambient occlusion OFF
AA settings at 2X and MEDIUM
motion blur OFF
1080p

thinking of getting another 5870 for crossfire but not sure if its worth it, anyone else running 5870 CF?

according to tomshardware my card is doing just fine so no need to upgrade just yet

Leave deferred off and post on high
All the settings in the CC should be on their defaults where-ever possible.

I just read this on "Tom's", which confirms and clarifies things

yep i just managed to go from high to ultra by changing the AA mode, only places i can see lack of AA now is in the fences mainly

Just to mention - I'm on 6970 + 6950 in crossfire - 1920x1200 Ultra - Before I cross fired was about 43fps - after it pretty much doubled to 80+. Great crossfire scaling in this game!

^ nice to here that,,,

Running on Ultra Settings for everything with a 6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition, well worth the upgrade

 

[Teaf]

Current system is: E8400, 4GB DDR2, IP35 Pro, HD5850 1GB, 1360 x 768 resolution. No overclocks/overclockers at all, everything is stock. 11.10 Preview 3 AMD drivers and using Windows 7 x64 HP.

Settings are mostly high, except no MSAA using FXAA instead and no ambient occlusion. Getting around 35 - 45 on Caspian/Kharg Island MP, 40 - 60 on other MP maps that aren't as intensive, and 50 - 80 in single player.

im getting constant stuttering with an i7 2600k and single gtx 580.

1920x1080 everything on max with msaa off and the other aa on high. (getting really good frame rate arround 65fps)

this has been reported though and apparently turning hyperthreating off works or rolling back to nvidia beta drivers.

ive not tried yet as i'm in work.

Turn shadows to medium

6970 bettering the 580 at Toms

 

[mmj_uk]

Turning off Hyperthreading might help if it's using all 8 threads.

 

[Acolyte]

Just installed my second 6870, its blitzing its way through BF3 on Ultra now

 

[Urban Reflex]

My sig system gives me about 40 FPS average, just for the record. That's on low settings... upgrade time methinks.

 

[Broken Hope]

These settings give me around 40-60 FPS online or off. That's with an i7 930 at stock. (Spec in sig was supposed to be my new rig but the motherboard was DOA so waiting for a replacement)

 

[thecremeegg]

I'm having a strange issue with my 5870 Xfire setup in that card 1 is running at 50% load max and card 2 is at 99%!

Any ideas why they arent both at 99%?

 

[PitchWhite]

Just read about people with stuttering issues - with 6970 + 6950 in crossfire I haven't had any stuttering though I am on 11.8 drivers (I haven't tried newer drivers..if something isn't broke an all that..)
