speak for yourself!
i want an excuse to buy more graphics cards. pc gaming has stagnated for years due to the 'console effect'

Not sure I like that idea. Will make it too easy to defeat the Javelins.
lol, what. Check out the video at bottom of this link its pretty spectacular.

I'll try to find the article about the 30% utilisation in fb2.
I have seen the Video, I was "lol"-ing at the 30% utilisation - which I honestly think is a load of cobblers at worst, or a very misrepresented statistic at best (i.e. selective/synthetic benchmarking).
I mean....c'mon, how can a game engine only be 30% utilised for its flagship game?
I understand your doubts and would agree but,
If the game engine had all features enabled and demanded far more processing power than modern hardware could muster (for home users back in 2011), they probably had to turn down/off special features in Frsotbite 2. They also had to make the game scale so it could play on dual cores and a range of gpu's. This is very unlikely the case with BF4 almost certainly a quadcore cpu is required as a minimum.
(This might explain why they left so many beloved BF2 features out,full scale destructibility, spectator modes, commander and squad based stuff that people miss)
From my recollection BF3 was one of the first full DX11 FPS games and at launch it was a system killer back then. (It was a challenge to run 60fps in ultra @ 1080+)
If you look at all the extra features of BF4 you can see that far more has been put into graphics rendering, glass, waves, window reflections, weather systems (this takes enormous resource) and all the other stuff. Although Dice have called it FB3, its very likely that the tech already existed and was ready available in the current FB2 version and was held back for marketing and hardware reasons. FB3 is most likely a polished FB2 with features enabled.
Why did Dice leave so many important features out of BF3 that we loved in BF2 and BFBC2?
I know it's a few months till it's out yet but I was just wondering peoples opinion...
i7 3770k + Radeon 7970 = enough for to run this game?
You've got the flagship AMD card and you're asking such a question? Do you think they're targeting cards that don't exist yet and if it does, only a tiny group of enthusiasts would buy?
I'm not fully 'in the know' regarding the card and was just looking for a little bit of advice if I was to buy one, that's all.

To give you an idea of the power of the Tahiti chip as found in the top HD7000 series ati cards and of course your 7970.
My brother has 2x7950's running in crossfire powering eyeinfinity (3 screens) in battlefield running at greater than 60fps in ULTRA everything turned right up. (1150Mhz Gpu, 1500Mhz Mem) (He actually bought 3 7950 to use with 40 lane pcie x79 board but took one back because it wasnt needed..)
What type of eyefinity resolution is he running?
Hes using 5760x1080p with settings all at ultra. (24" 1080p monitors)
He tried to run initially in ultra with 3x660Ti's and a 3920 i7 and it would crash out because the memory and bandwidth limitations. So he sold that yesterday!!!
He then popped in a 3930 and 3x7950's (But returned One).
So if intel produce's an affordable non Xeon based 8 core i'll be selling my internal organs to buy one!!! haha....
haha people buy into the hype threading for bf3 its bs ive always said so but no people wont have it.
7950/7970 fine for 1080 bf4
