On default Ultra settings, i got 1-23fps as soon as i started. Though I ahve yet to install teh 11.10 Preview drivers, whcih were released for teh Beta.


Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to create a new Soldier for the game. Thus far, I'm stuck with a soldier using my default EA Master ID, which is pretty lame. I've read and seen screenshots of folks having more than one soldier per Origin account but I have yet to find out how to do it. It really sucks.

MW2 - he stated that all th settings are on Low.

all medium for 580SLI and it sits at about 30, a tough game. Need upgrade :)

Right off to work now :(

Wow, I have dual 570s and I was maxed out @5760x1080 with 40-50fps.
I did notice that at one point my GPUs were only running at 50%.
Next time you play take a look, I can guarantee that's what happened.

Yeah after a restart sitting happily 60 plus.

I'm just playing one screen. I hate spanned HUD, knowing DICE and their good BC2 surround support they'll a centered HUD in eventually though.

I have gone to one screen cos I don't get a mini map in multi monitor... that cannot be abided!

EDIT: I might have to get used to it moving to a new house and I may not have the space for multi mon.. prolly pick up a 2560x1440 27" Dell I guess, the full 30 is too expensive.

i'm getting about 30 to 40 on ultra.
60fps with slight drops on low,

But it feels a littlle choppy even with the nvidia beta drivers. and its only using about 50% of my cards on low or medium, but its using all my vram, even on low when using surround.
Looks like the game and drivers still need more optimization.

All played at 6080x1080 with 980x and 3 way 480's in sli.

And i have 3 580 3gb on the way which will hopefully allow me to max it out or close to it

I had the same issue with the game only using 50%. I couldn't fix it but I restarted my rig and BF3 started using 100% again.

I also have the same issue with no Mini-map or ammo count. I kinda got used to it lol. I started getting a feel for how many bullets I had left but I did severely miss/need my mini-map. I hope someone find a fix.

Some pics.

Fixed my issued by setting the graphic options to medium. Doesnt seem to make the game look any worse either.
Hope this helps
thanks

Fixed what issue? the mini map and ammo? Is it still at the far edge of the screen? And mine was all medium anyway, but I could try low I guess

Those graphics look like crap

Be constructive, or be quiet...

Sorry Mach,
I was talking about the textures hopping up and down on the screen and the very low framerates.

Thanks

Tried Caspian Border map last night. The ground was transparent in some areas with flickering.

I didn't even realize there was supposed to be a mini map! I've only had a chance to play for about 30 minutes so I was more focused on staying alive and learning the level but I guess a mini map would be useful.

I'm going to take a look at VRAM usage tonight running 6100x1080 on my SLI 580 3GB cards. The game defaulted everything to ultra and it ran fairly smoothly, but since the options were all grayed out I thought we couldn't tweak any of the settings. Will try some combinations of settings tonight too.

here its running on 5760x1080, everything on high with 40 FPS (outside) - 60 FPS (metro). Switching shadows to medium and turning off ambient occlusion gives 50-70 FPS. not so bad.

Something to keep in mind.

Some settings (no sure which) will not take effect until the map is restarted, so you can be switching graphics options and it isn't doing anything until the next round (or you exit/re-enter the game)

Game doesn't deal well with 3 GPU's right now.

Only get 20-30 FPS in surround and mouse lag like mad. Seen a few other reports of 3 and 4 way SLI not doing so well, so hopefully they're on it.

Single screen performance is still very good with 3way, but not much better than single-card.

Im getting 45 - 70 FPS in surround, 3-way SLI, at 5040x1050, ultra settings, no mouse lag. Latest beta drivers.

I tried to get the beta to work with SoftTH last night and it didnt work.

I got the game loaded on the main screen (far left) but in the video settings, there was no option to select 16:9, which i typically have to choose, and the custom resolution was not an option.

anyone get it working?
