Oh don't get me wrong the game looks better...but its still a poor game.
Although the highres textures are a bit disappointing. Look at the shots I put in the screenshot thread. I'm pretty sure the wall in the 3rd picture is using the sand texture from minecraft
Textures aside it is a big improvement graphically but its still a broken game.

It does look noticeably better, seems to be really good shadows, anti aliasing seems to be on of some sort and the vegetation seems really good.
I am dissappointed in the high res textures though.....i saw a fair amount on a street bit that looked bad so it seems they only applied to certain things which i think were plants/trees/buildings/walls but not objects like bins/tables and such.

Makes me wonder how it will run on ultra on my q6600 and 5850.
Have you turned on AA and AF to max aswell?
Everything was on ultra mate, up from extreme, which was the previous highest setting. This is at 1920x1080 btw
After installing the dx11 update and high res patch I had a few initial thoughts.
~The sub escape intro looked great.
~Huge performance hit. Lows in the high teens and low twenties, average about mid thirties and the odd high peak in the 60s. With vsync on the frame rate was bouncing between 30 and 45 with it dropping to 20 at busier moments.
~GPU utilisation has actually gone down, though maybe due to the tesselation bit of my GPU causing a bottleneck? CPU and GPU sat at about 80% each.

If you turn off AA and AF, can you report the difference please
? I want to know what FPS you are getting without the former two.

Will probably need a driver update from Nvidia and ATI to improve performance.

Guys do you think DX11 crysis 2 is a good indicator of what we can expect from BF3?

They're very different engines, I think BF3 has more focus on destructibility and intensity rather than all-out graphical flair.

So more cpu usage then in BF3?

You can't turn off AA whilst keeping ultra settings as far as I'm aware
