Rubbish!
I would prefer an ATI card as that's what I have now, minimal fuss with drivers. Also, I'd rather not spend the entire budget and keep it to a single card if possible.
5850 CF seems to do a good job for me with the right settings. I'm using 11.10 preview drivers and my res is 1680x1050. I'm sure there will be plenty of optimizations from Dice and from ATI before release so hopefully we can see some improvements.

Running on a 2500k @ 4.5ghz, 4gb ram and 2x 6950's unlocked and overclocked, on ultra i was getting no less than 70fps on metro last night, but in parts it felt like it was at 40fps even though fraps said it was 70+, have noticed this in other games... high FPS but feels like 30-40, i assume its just a crossfire issue?

Fraps tells me I can play it at 34.5 FPS average after a whole map. Very pleased to be honest. Not sure about graphics settings. if it was low, I'll put it on ultra, if it was ultra, i'll put on low.
Because it isn't a card killer. It has been hyped up massively in order to drive hardware sales, particularly when it is not that long before we see the next generation of GPU's early next year.
People like to buy into it as well because in their minds it justifies them using two 580's in SLI at 1920x1200 on a single monitor.
'BF3 will NEED 2x580 in SLI to run at ultra settings at 60fps' will it ********.
Considering most of our results it seems your the one talking tosh!
I have crossfire 6970s and im only getting 67 fps there aren't going to be any single gpu cards that can push 60fps if the results were getting from this beta are accurate.
Makes me want eyefinity, but only got single 6950, and if it takes 6990 and 6970 to run medium, think I better give it a miss
If crossfire is a nonsense then tri-fire is! Don't judge it yet
Eyefinity is sooooooooooooooo nice though
As nice as those screenshots look, i couldn't ever put up with the monitor bezels. I had eyefinity about a year ago when i was playing bfbc2, just doesn't seem worth for the huge cost.
Until they make ultra thin bezel monitors and make graphics cards powerful enough to cope with 3 in a single gpu solution (by that i don't mean 6990 dual gpu on one card) it'll never be more than a gimmick to me.

+1
Cheers, will try that tonight! I had no idea motion blur could have that effect though?
Well, hopefully it works, that's what the problem seemed to be for me. Once i turned it off the game felt smoother generally running around even though my FPS didn't change.
With it mouse movements had this element of moving through treacle, like it was slightly delayed, soon as i turned it off the game felt more like bc2 in its movements.
