AMD Radeon Gets Battlefield 3 Ready, Too
Just hours after NVIDIA released its Battlefield 3 optimised GeForce driver suite, AMD is ready with a similar piece of software of its own, the AMD Catalyst 11.10 Preview. Preview drivers are essentially BETA hotfix drivers. The new Catalyst software suite makes your ATI/AMD Radeon graphics card (that meets minimum/recommended requirements) optimized for Battlefield3. Its changelog follows:
- Improves performance in Battlefield 3 Open Beta release for both non-Anti-Aliasing, and application enabled Anti-Aliasing cases on the AMD Radeon HD 6000 and AMD Radeon HD 5000 Series for single GPU configurations
- Enables support for Eyefinity 5x1 display (portrait and landscape) configurations using the AMD Radeon HD 6000 and AMD Radeon HD 5000 Series
- Vision Engine Control Center: User Interface enhancements have been implemented for the CrossfireX, GPU Overdrive, and Information Center pages.

Will be interesting to see how my tiny little HD 5770 doesn't cope with this game :)

IMO you should be proud your 4870 has made this far. I like the look of the new layout :rockout:

i own a 6990 now but im not really impressed for that 3gen upgrade
not everyone could afford one back in the however.
Its still old though.
2x4870s in crossfire is roughly about the same as one overclocked 5850 - or at least thats what my benches told me when i was forced to upgrade to one when one of my 4870s died and didnt make it back from RMA.
tired of those 35-40FPS with a massive drop below 20FPS when im getting shoot at sometime
And I think the Server lag... or it micro stuttering curse you ATI :banghead: still managed 10:1 but oh yeahhh CTD without any error log just that you got owned by the server :mad:
They should always cover theyre Flagship models atleast
cards got some pretty tremdous reviews. overclocking them was a little flakey though. since the card is litterally a Cyprus Chip placed on a 6850 PCB. but the card does have voltage tweaking so thats still worth a playing around with.
I know that Sapphire only made a few batches of them and they were so cheap they were sold out within hours
