The sound engineers at Dice really know what they're doing, even better than BC2.

If this is true then its seems my ears and eyes will be bleeding with sheer awesomeness.

Yes. You use a VPN to unlock it early.

BF3 beta eternally being in the games list is a bit annoying

I've suffered the indignity of having my crossfire 5850's stuttering.

Preview 3 driver & BF3 CAP too.

Really annoying. Might disable crossfire & test. Ran better in the Beta for me.

Oh, so they haven't actually released it for us yet? You can just get around it?

That's right. I thought it was being released on the 28th but someone posted a response from EA customer service saying that we'll get unlocked the same time as the US (25th).

I noticed that my Asus GTX 560Ti Direct CU II was NOT 100% stable in Heaven at stock settings. Increased the voltage a little bit, and now it's rock solid in games at 951\1902\4608 (Stock was 830\1600\2000 I think).

I am getting 60ish FPS on Multyplayer. Around 90ish on campaign....Not sure if thats good with my spec/settings/res???

apart from the slight jumpiness other users have experienced, on the whole i've found it quite smooth

running 5970+5870 @ 1920x1200, everything either high or ultra with AA
