Dude...it is a Alpha version...relax.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Dude...it is a Alpha version...relax.
We dont know what the settings do to CPU/GPU usage yet.. FB2 if according to the release videos is a lot more advanced, in terms of model animation (CPU intensive), physics (very CPU intensive) and world destruction (very CPU intensive).
I have the Q9400, at stock it was bottlenecked in BC2, at 1080p. Overclocking it helps a lot.

sorry but that is an ass ugly game to be using that much resources.
then we must be looking at 2 different games...It looks great. Notice how there is almost no distance scaling of the environment? That's why. It looks fantastic.
try looking into Palit GTX 570 Sonic Platinum, it has a very good cooler and overclocks well..got an invite to the bf3 alpha test :biggrin: :whiste:
wo, does fb2.0 eat my graphics!
running 5850, q9400, 4gb, ssd
backed away from high details 1920x1200, ALL the way down to settled...wait for it, 1400x900 on low details!
OMG, time to go shopping..looked at one "superclocked" 570 which was a MASSIVE 12mhz over the 785mhz stock! lol
..is it worth spending extra on a 'clocked' 570 or stick to a basic one, do some basic oc'ing meshelf and pocket the extra? (oc'ing the 5850 to 800/1200 with afterburner did some good, but oc-ing never does much!)

hahah! NO WAY!!Try uninstalling the porn toolbars from your system.
worth noting!! :whiste:FB2 if according to the release videos is a lot more advanced, in terms of model animation (CPU intensive), physics (very CPU intensive) and world destruction (very CPU intensive).
i'm not a massive fan of oc-ing, it never adds much more than 10%, prefer fundamental new tech upgradesI do think it is your CPU. Try overclocking it and see if it helps.
it's definitely better, more than a few comments that it felt more like bc3 than bf3, but that would be hard to avoid really..For those playing alpha, how much better looking is it than BC2?
thx for the pmMine was running slow on 580gtx. I downloaded a new config file on the bf3 forums and it fixed everything. Its something in the graphic settings.
aah yes, there is that as wellNO Windows XP, time to upgrade !
Anyway, most folks around here know that a q9400 would badly bottleneck an HD5850 in BC2, so it doesn't take much of a leap of faith to make the same conclusion about BF3.
let's wait and see how the beta performs..Dude...it is a Alpha version...relax.
actually i didn't find that with my setup..sure 1 core was bumping up against max and the load balancing was pretty dreadful, but what with the gpu being average 70-80% used bc2 runs fine

leaning more now towards the core i5-2500 upgrade first, thanks for your feedback
Just watch some videos on youtube for BF3 and you can see for yourself.
Here is the video from the benchmarks I posted and yes its FB 2.0 version.

Look at the memory usage in the video.
