It shouldn't be a hit at all in a fairly modern system. How much RAM do you have? I would say that 8GB is the minimum.
but doesn't having browser open while playing the game takes away from valuable RAM?
when i check my task manager, i have only a tiny bit of RAM (left like) 10, so i don't like how the browser and origin take up valuable RAM that the game can otherwise utilize.

Yesterday, an old Battlefield 3 beta server build was leaked causing many unauthorized modded servers to pop up on the Battlelog server browser. Some of these servers were running 128 players or more, other gamemodes on Operation Metro and modified point values. DICE warns people not to join these servers as it could cause your EA account to become banned.
In Battlefield 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ranked server providers must submit server IPs to DICE to be added to a whitelist. This allows DICE to control exactly what servers show up as ranked. Battlefield 3 ranked servers will most likely have whitelist support added soon to combat modded servers.
I'm getting inconsistent results, but generally with my dual OCd 460 768MB cards I am staying above 40fps on ultra and 2x AA.
Afterburner only shows about 60% utlization on the cards though. Am I vram limited or is it just going to take a while before the game is more optimized and scales better? I also expect that getting bulldozer should help
They are going to ban accounts for people who have NO way of knowing that the servers on the browser are hacked? And banning means they lose access to their rightfully purchased games? If they actually do that to anyone I hope they experience, and lose, a class action lawsuit.
Agree, especially since unless you are following them on forums/tweet/facebook/etc you have no idea about this. The average person logs into Battlelog (where this warning needs to be) and just sees the servers when looking for one. I'm sure they can put some type of headline in when you log into battlelog telling you this stuff.
is it normal to switch to the pistol when you're revived? does anyone else have the "space to accept" stick for a while? it seems i always end up hitting space to accept and then stand right up to have my head blown off all over again
And, related topic...steam doesn't even ban you from your games even if you are caught actually cheating do they?
In this case I would imagine they just ban the beta account.
See the picture in post 3227, it says:
"If your account gets banned it does mean any EA game you have on your account would also be unavailable".

You'd only need more RAM if you have performance issues.
So you're saying more RAM will help me in the bedroom too? :hmm:
i got 4GB.
thats why i only have 10megs left when i have the game, browser, origin open...
Damn straight, ram her so hard her head goes through the headboard. That's power baby!
Then you need more ram. It's so cheap nowadays, there's no reason not to have 16GB.
I saw that last night. Freaky looking!Has anyone else experienced or seen a glitch when a solider goes prone while running and start crawling up hill? The player's soldier neck stretches out so long it looked like an alien or dinosaur with a long neck...
I tried to get a screen shot of it with my "print screen" button, but copied and paste didn't work
