are you using preview drivers or something else?
Was using 11.7 I think, then upgraded to the preview drivers, still no dice. MSI is showing one gpu at 99%, the other at 0. Bust. I don't want to spring for a new gpu until the 7000 series comes out, but we'll see.

Had to disable AdBlock Plus and Flashblock to launch the game. I'm gonna have to configure a whitelist later it seems.

I can't manually join any of the servers that aren't full, and the game is queuing me up to quick join, 91st in line...

Canbacon for me.

Just to note, you can be in multiple platoons.
Anyone feel like creating one?

Are platoons the equivalent of clans? I don't recall DICE ever expounding on exactly what Platoons are, though a clan equivalent was the obvious first suspicion.

Asking here to avoid polluting the other thread.

Hope this old 9800gtx can hang in there till the 30th till i upgrade.

I think it can do 1600x1200 medium but if anyone crazy enough wondering if their 9800gt cards will play ok i'll downclock this card and give my best playable settings in a thread in the video card forum.

Got a couple friends with a 9800gt so i'll answer their question and hopefully anyone else's .

My 4870X2 (4870 atm actually) is only pulling like 15 fps everything on low at 1280 x 800. It's a slideshow, but a gorgeous slideshow!

Yea, they are basically the same as Steam groups. You can be in multiple ones and have one set as a primary. At the moment, the benefit of the group is that you can see other people online without having them as friends and it has platoon stats.

Do they have a "leader" or that kind of thing? I was kind of hoping that being in a Platoon/Clan would also do things like let you automatically have an official clan tag, which you don't even have to type, it just shows in-game automatically.

Or perhaps the better question is, "will" they have this kind of thing. Seems like DICE hasn't wanted to give details on exactly what Battlelog will provide in these areas.

So you think a 6970 would handle this game fine?

For sure, if you are at 1920x1200. Even higher would be ok. Just don't go overboard on settings. I find that the AUTO setting is actually very good.

On my i7 920 w/ 5870 @ 1920x1200 it runs smoothly on auto. Even on my home computer (q9450 @ 3.6 w/ GTX580 @ 2560x1440 on AUTO) it runs great.

Yes, they have a "Founder" then "Leaders". I haven't really seen auto clan tags within the game itself, but you can set one up for the platoon.

Unfortunately I don't have much insight to DICE operations. However they are still actively looking at the beta forums for bugs and feedback.

I'll tweak my game settings more to see if I can get near 60fps. I have my 6950 unlocked and clocked to 6970 speeds. I would certainly say it handles the game.

I will probably have to back down some of the other options to medium to get to that point. Most everything is set to high now, but ultra is available.

Oh 9800gtx can play 1600x1200 on low it eats up 487mb of vram and idk if the engine is to blame but its choppy at even 45fps .

Tried to adjust the reso the game goes completely black i'm forced to close it and now stuck in a queue on another server LOL

at 1024x768 on default it did 65fps on low but idk if thats cause it's relying on the cpu or what .
