Same, that and changing from a 3570k cpu. Game runs as smooth as **** off a shovel. Crazily high fps.SLI'd today and BF3 FPS is vastly improved

It isnt quite as intensive cpu wise as BFBC2 was. But with a single 3570k at 4.5ghz, my sli'd 670's werent being utilised properly. Bf3 likes extra threads, hence my upgrade to the 3770k, difference was pretty noticeable. 91% card usage vs 80% with the non ht chip. Was the same with my i7 920 and gtx 470's in sli if i turned off ht in bios.
x2 2.5gb 570's will cope extremely well with bf3, much better than the old 470's i had. With only 1.2gb of vram onboard, i had to lower a few settings to keep a decent frame rate. May limit the frame rate on my current cards, as the top one runs quite a bit warmer than the lower one. Sometimes hitting the 70c throttle limit. One of the pitfalls of non reference cards in sli i suppose.
Pretty much, don't know why people use it as their ONLY weapon. I am unlocking all the unlocks for all the guns at the moment and can stomp people just as much with every other gun than the M16A3, they just have different strengths.
Didn't realise there was a double XP event on. Had a good game last night, netted 53k in points from one game which is my best yet.
Sorry for the team kills JGStonedRaider
Nice Pauly
, and don't worry about those TK's on Raider. 
People use the M16A3 so that when an assault player kills you with a gun which is NOT the M16, you can go "Oh!" to yourself and raise your eyebrows slightly, especially if it something like the KH002, which only a nutter would use. If everyone used a wide range of weapons this wouldn't happen. Thus the M16 players are offering a valuable community service.
I guessed that! But they usually post a news item etc. I didn't see anything like that this time.
any ideas how long its going to last? Will run with E3 I'd assume?
