Battlefield 3 Clubhouse

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

i've seen a great jump in fps going from q9650@ 4ghz to 2500k@ stock!!!!! hope i see the same jump in bf3 my eyes wouldn't believe how fast is the sandy bridge in battlefield !!

edit :^^ bad company 2

I made the same jump (q9550 @ 4Nhz) to a 2500k. BC2 was a night and day difference when the new CPU.

Sandy Bridge did numbers for many 775 owners. Hell I would probably get a FPS jump for a I7 920.

Battlefield 3 servers under heavy traffic

Unprecedented demand may affect online performance tonight in Battlefield 3. We're aware of the issue and doing everything possible on our end to make sure the servers are working at 100%. We apologize for any dips in performance you may experience, but want to assure you they are only temporary.
In the meantime, hang tight, we're on it.

I kinda figured this, Many people on EA forums are bitching and griping about stupid things and they do not realize that alot of things cannot be planned for. This all relates to Murphy's Law

Yea the site has been slow also... Waiting on it so I can play lol

Some people were complaining last night that they could not get into servers, I had no issue getting into servers but they were quite laggy even the low ping ones I joined.

I bloody love that Huey!! It felt smooth like butter! I def need to use joystick with jets and maybe with attack chopper but I may be able to get a hang of it. The big thing for me with attack chopper is throttle control. Sometime I forget to use W when dodging crap.

I was able to fly the jets once I figured out I could release the W button after it was fully throttled LOL. I was doing great until another jet gets me.

eh for me, the pitch controls were funky. I like inverted when jetting but normal when copter. BF2 let me set for each type. They should keep it that way.

 

[brandonwh64]

People are mad about the jet speed but if the jets flew any faster, they would go out of the map quickly and be hard as hell to shoot down.

 

[CrackerJack]

Woot finally downloading, decent speeds too Be done and ready to go in 20min

Anyone getting micro stutters with crossfire enabled? And also which are the best drivers atm for AMD users?

nope just server lag,As for drivers try either 11.9 with the new cap4 or 11.10ver3 with cap4.

I'm using 11.10 v.3, no CAP and have ULPS disabled in the registry. Works perfectly. I'm pretty sure ULPS was causing stuttering.

Is the TS up today?

 

[erocker]

Is the TS up today?

Yeah, it's up now. I stayed up way too late last night and turned the server off when I was in zombie mode.

 

[copenhagen69]

does anyone else seem to kinda lag when they shoot?

 

[ctrain]

HBAO with everything else on max kills my system, I find turning off AA Deferred while AA post on high and HBAO to clear out the edges adequately without the huge peformance hit.

Deferred AA is really heavy on performance, post AA seems considerably cheaper and the quality is really nice even on low. SSAO looks very similar too to HBAO and is cheaper as well.

I've found you can get like 95% of the quality with considerably higher performance just by playing a bit with settings.

What I mean about the Vram is that the 5850 only has 1gb and the 6950/70's have 2GB the extra Vram helps out ALOT in large textured areas like you mentioned. thats why your FPS tanks when going into large areas

Yes, but isn't 1GB + 1GB = 2 GB? Crossfire Mode

 

[brandonwh64]

I stayed up late but made myself goto bed at 12 or I would have never made it to work LOL

*Announcement*

If anyone has any questions, concerns, or requests about the BF3 clubhouse Feel free to PM me at any time

Yes, but isn't 1GB + 1GB = 2 GB? Crossfire Mode

No, It only uses 1GB, it doesn't combine the Vram

 

[DannibusX]

Yes, but isn't 1GB + 1GB = 2 GB? Crossfire Mode

Negatory. It's still 1GB.

 

[alexsubri]

Negatory. It's still 1GB.

 

[brandonwh64]

This is why 2GB cards have a higher advantage

Hell, I've had three crashes as well, with ATI drivers. I'm hoping it's a brand new game issue that will be ironed out. I don't get crashes on any other game, even BFBC2, which can be finicky.

Yeah, no other game has every crashed on me, including BC2 maxed out. And I don't mean that I just crashed to desktop, my entire system hangs.

Check your other drivers as well, like sound, etc.

 

[brandonwh64]

Yea Driver issue plagued people like crazyeyez and when he finally figured it out, BF3 was about to come out.
