tychotI would be interested to know a little more about cpu performance. For instance, what cpu does it take to power dual 6990's running ultra at 2560x1600 in a 64 player game, or, how does the i3 handle 64 player games?The reason I'm interested in cpu's is my mates looking to get crossfire...

ksampannaConfirms what i've suspected all along ... i7-920 + 5850 ftw !!! Think again in multiplayer. Report back on playable settings for you. eddieroolzThe game seems to present a mixed bag for both graphics companies, thought both probably concern the driver and given the infancy of the...

cangeliniHopefully repi can provide some good feedback on generating accurate data using a test environment that, by its very nature, is not consistent. Yes, it would have been nice for them to include a heavy duty benchmark representative on multiplayer load. But as far as consistency...

cangeliniThe story you linked appears to focus on MP; mine is on the campaign. After just finishing the campaign, I'm very comfortable with the correlation between these results and my own experience. Multi-player is going to be different, and no secret is made of that in the story. Thanks for...

this article is just horrible. absolutely useless! nobody should rely on these benchmarks for bf3. Battlefield games are very tough on video cards and this benchmark comes nowhere near the maximum loads your cards will experience in a 64 player game with lots of action. go to...

it better not. and if it does i better be able to activate on steam.

nice!

jerreddreddI say boycott EA!I hate hacking, but I'll darned if I will buy a product that limits what servers I can play on. Sometime the unofficial severs are a blast. there is a difference between official ranked and unranked and hacked servers. you wanna play hacked servers...fine...but EA...

siege_templarI know right? excited. then no steam, and ea origin and no server browser the little things will kill this game. please stop it with the whining about server browser. Battlelog is awesome and if you can't see that you are either blind or haven't used it. Battlelog is easy to patch...

GulliI'm glad I finally see my HD 5870 challenged (by Crysis 2 and BF3). I have a 5870, 6850 and 6990...gotta get a PSU for the 6990...hope it breaks a sweat with BF3:)

I HAVE 3 LEGIT CODES from contests...how will they figure that out? gave one to myself and one to my bro....still have one to give to someone...thinking tweeps or clan mates

amk-aka-phantomWe got DX11 pack for Crysis 2, after all. I somehow had exactly the opposite experience with that game: looked great even with DX9, but gameplay... meh. I never finished it, but I will... once. Crysis Warhead > Crysis > Crysis 2 in terms of fun gameplay. Warhead was great...@BF3...

I would love for AMD and NVIDIA to focus on quality more. fps doesn't tell the whole story.

i better check on security when i get home
