GTX 480 map loading times in BFBC2

I believe its just a problem with ATI i have 5770 and it takes for ever to load in whilst before when I had my 9800 gtx loaded in about 7-8 times quicker

If this is anything to go by the nvidia cards will load in significantly quicker
 
ATI are working on the problem. I think someone posted it here if I recall correctly. I always spawn in on team members because they are already halfway across the map when I get to join the action :(

EDIT: Just saw your post cyclops12 and I am running a 4870 and also have very slow load times?

no wonder, when i had GTX260, i was waiting ages for people to join when i was the host in MW2.

now, with 5870, when i loaded into the game, other people have also loaded and game starts after 5 seconds.

it's definitely slower than nVidia, but not that slow in BFBC2 where i do get second round of vehicle pickings.

it could be related to the amount of RAM, cyclops, how much RAM have you got?

Yup. I've had the issue for ages myself. Didn't realise that it was a symptom of moving from Nvidia to ATI for ages. Not until changing from 4870x2 to 5870, so a fair investment of money there...
 
wuyanxu ive got 6 gig tri-channel corsair mate , i7 920 @ 4 ghz
seen afew peeps who think its to do with dx11 , more textures ect

but if its doing the same on dx10 cards it might not be
looks like i might just be lucky as it loads the same sorta speed on my 5850 as on my bfg oc 8800gt 512

Its a problem with shader optimisations EVERY round instead of just once like in BF2. It should only load "slow" once and then be fine after that until you change video settings/drivers. This however isn't the case.
 
I'm not noticing any slower than average loading times. I'm usually in the first handfull in the game, perhaps I'm just not noticing, I'll doublecheck tonight :)
 
It's not a ram issue, I have 12gb ram with a 5870, very slow loading. It's an ATI / DX issue, if I put my 280GTX back in, I'm back to fast load of the levels.
 
I just shove the game in DX9, looks about the same (lighting isn't as nice) but I end up being the first player in most of the time :)
