Glad to see my 6850 can max this.

Does this game work well with crossfire? specifically 6970 2gb crossfire? I guess I am just curious...because I already bought starcraft and battlefield this year...cannot spend any more money (credit) on games. Sucks to have a nice computer and not be able to play any of the awesome games that already came out or are about to come out soon. If it was up to me, I would work in a easy/moderate work climate 12 hours a day every day for quite awhile......debt sucks.

Crossfire or sli lol for what? I maxed this on my old old 8800 ultr that I keep on the side with hd textures and aa set to 8x and still get 60fps
With a single 6970 you can max even @ 1600p!

awesome man! believe it or not, i have to run battlefield 3 on "medium" default to achieve 60 fps. it goes Low, Medium, High, Ultra for that game.

Really medium wow! In crossfire? Or single gpu.
I would just sell the 6970 and get a southern island when is shows, as I did with my 2 gtx 480 sc in sli and still got good $$ for it! The problem is I have to wait for the southern islands. I might just opt for a gtx 580 classified but I don't want to just yet

Any PC worth mentioning will run this game period! Its made for the ancient consoles in mind. And why do people think its to easy for a PC gamer? All the console control smoothing stuff like autoaim ect is present and enabled by default, the mobs have a reaction time of a old granny and the precision of a blind person to make up for the consoles lack of controls and it shows clearly in the PC version. Didn't die even once and that on the "hardest" difficulty that is more like Easy mode on a pc only fps title!

Hardcore fps consolers... yeah right when the game does the gaming and call that hardcore LMAO

Lets be honest here. ID has been going downhill since they released doom3. Sure doom3 was a great game but when you actually played it were you as blown away as you thought youd be? no probably not. I know I wasnt. When you first saw RAGE you thought the same thing right? Well it appears that ID's visionary programmer isnt as good as everyone is making him out to be. Now lets look at the Unreal3 engine... amazing graphics, hardware physics, and its used in hundreds of games from gears of war to mass effect... Then there's the crytek and frostbite2 engines as well. All of these are much better than anything ID has put out since doom3. After all of that hype surrounding rage what did we get? a half assed rpg/fps combat racing game with a horribly rushed ending and bad graphics. Well at least the character models were good... Those chicks were pretty hot... too bad all you could do was listen to them talk for a few seconds and get missions or buy stuff from them... good ol 1 dimensional characters! I think I'll go play through mass effect 2 once more on insanity and get rid of RAGE (and get the 20+gigs of my ssd space back).

[edit]Oh also I played this on a system with an i7 920 (running stock), 6gb of ram, an ocz vertex2 120gb, and a gts250 video card. On the highest graphics settings (save for AA which was at 2x), vsync enabled, at my monitor's 19x12 res, and I still had 60fps almost the entire time. Had to enable vsync to avoid the horrible screen tearing I got with my 28" monitor. I also found a bug in the game. It appears that if you bring up the options menu (esc) for a few minutes... lets say you hit the head or go make a cup of coffee, and come back and hit esc again to clear the menu it will turn off vsync! how lame is that!?[/edit]
