A little bit of a tangent...
BF3 is going to bring on a tidal wave of GPU and other machine upgrades. I suspect it'll be unprecedented in terms of #'s.
So, if you're AMD or nVidia, do you wait and clear out all remaining gen stock for BF3 release, or do you rush to market with next gen hoping to absolutely own the next 6-9 mos launch period?
Maybe it depends on the benchmarks, and if the current gen hardware can handle the game at enthusiast settings? If it will stutter at 1080p on HD 6xxx and GTX 5xx hardware, don't you want to be the first to market with an option that will render the game smoothly with all the eye candy turned on?
