I was under the impression its 4pm korean time which is 8am uk time?

wouldnt it seem strange to release it at 4pm in the afternoon on the 25th ? makes more sence that it goes live as soon as the date turns to the 25th at midnight ?
 
And on the eighth day, the Lord said "let there be sick days". :D

For me, work is a PhD. Due to circumstances beyond my control I'm a year behind, my funding runs out in September and I've got an undergradaute to babysit all Thursdays and Fridays until June. Taking random days off is not really an option for me I'm afraid! One of my friends usually works weekends and makes me feel bad for not going in.

oh how you make me laugh, I post the benchmarks you hailed before which actually back up what i was saying, and you turn from those to instead claiming 3 people you know say they're upgrading, so it can't be enough.

Bottom line, 1 5850 gave me minimums of 40 and avg of 50. The benchmarks that you claimed would disprove this have infact proved it. To play at medium with 8AA/high with 2AA settings in the final game, a single 5850 will be enough. (Considerably better than the low settings DG claimed)

look lets end this go baack to what the guy said who actually asked his question about the card :rolleyes: forget the silly bickering :p

he asked if his 5850 was good enough for ultra settings = no at his res he needs to drop a res or play low. a 580 gtx will play at about 55 fps on ultra

40 fps isnt really good enough . you should aim for 60 in fps minimum really.

the 5850 is a good little card i have one still and probably keep it as a back up card but for bf3 and decent settings its just too much. i dont know how many posted screenshopts of vram usage aswell and it has 1gig of vram.

no willwaving no bs its just not good enough can we just get on with the game talk now please ;)
 
So what do people think the cheapest gfx card will be to run this on ultra? preferably ATI/AMD.
My cpu is fine, 920 d0 @4ghz

My 4870x2 just isnt going to hack it.
 
would you happen to be going to Korea anytime in the next few hours?

The more I think about it the more I want to VPN it tomorrow.

If vpn works then ile happily play and work but if I dont get the game till friday then I think ile have to take the weekend off. I have a rostered week off after the weekend also so might be worth it regardless.
 
dont worry about it if it makes you happy and stops petty bickering yes your right the simple fact is im on ts with three 5850 owners as we speak who played bf3 . all are upgrading as it isnt enough for 1920x1080 at decent settings.

we must be daft i guess :p

........back to the game at hand :p

wonder how many will be vpning on tuesday is it ? :D

You're right mate, a single 5850 is definitely not enough for 1920x1080 at decent settings. I get along just fine because I play at 1440x900 but 1920 on my brothers system, which is exactly the same as mine was unplayable for me, not terrible just not as smooth as I would like. My VRAM was hovering around 900mb usage at only 1440 res.

I told the girlfriend there is a rumor single player is released tomorrow and multi later this week. :)

It's really annoying for me as it's half term so if I want a good bash at the game the weekend is my only hope if I don't VPN.
 
He did say ATI and a 580 is nvidia and cost £365...

Oops, misread him saying ATi/AMD as ATi/NV for some reason!

Well for Ultra, then CF 6970's or 6990.

A single 6950/6970 will be fine for High going by what DICE said in that presentation. They recommended a 560Ti, which is pretty similar to the 6950.
 
If I order on GMG, do I get the code sent straight to me to activate on Origin? Just thinking it might be easier than waiting for my order from Game. Got £5 credit on GMG too.
