[BF3] Battlefield 3

[XRAYBoY]

As a curiosity, on the Nvidia website there is an "analyzer" that checks online if your Nvidia graphics card meets the recommended requirements for Battlefield 3.

Edit:
And it seems that the Drivers for Nvidia 285.35 Beta are going to be mandatory in ALL Nvidia series to play BF3. If you want to save time…

Well, out of curiosity I ran it and it says that my graphics card does not meet the recommended requirements. It doesn't say anything else (about the micro, memory, etc), except that it buys me a new graphics card (LOL!).

By the way, I've been looking for comparisons of the gtx460 vs the gtx560 and the differences are minimal. What a way to make money. For now I'm only worried about the micro.

If I were the owner of one of the largest producers of graphics chips and my tests had to advise the purchase of a card … below the GTX580, no graphics card would work :risitas::risitas:

well, I just passed the test and it says I should buy a gtx560 as a minimum, but if I want to play "well" I should buy a GTX 580 "with settings", which means I should buy two gtx580.
I expected Nvidia to say something like that if I had an ATI, but I have a 280? No way:
P.D anyway, I think no test passes for the graphics card, it just checks if it's a 560 or higher, and if not, then... time to sell, it's only two days

Here I found the performance with different graphics cards on an i7. I think I'll have to settle for medium details, and that's if I'm lucky.

There may be some kind of problem with the 5XX series that requires new drivers, this often happens with newly released games. They do this to cover their "shame".

But let's not kid ourselves, when a game asks for exaggerated requirements it's usually because it hasn't been properly optimized, there are always games that ask for the moon and others for the normal and it turns out that the graphics are just as good.

And on the other hand, I find it hard to believe that if you can play Metro or Crysis with a graphics card you can't play BF3.

PD. With AF turned down I think you won't need medium details and if not, you'll have to set up an SLI :risitas:

[CNCBCN]

THAT IS THE PROBLEM I have with my 280 I have played Crysis at metro at biosock 1/2 at Wolfestein 2 CoD MW2 and a few more and all without any problems and almost all at full capacity, the Crysis I think I maxed it out not but almost; D and now these gentlemen come to tell me that my graphics card is no longer a good graphics card and that to see their "piece of graphics" I need a new one, come on that was said that Nvidia was giving money to the studios so that with their graphics everything would run smoothly and now it seems like they are saying don't optimize too much or else they won't sell graphics cards if a 560 gives 26 52 FPS at high and medium my 280 what will it give?

Well to make the wait more enjoyable I leave you this video jajaja, by the way that video is real from pc you can see the quality is that of caspian from a while ago that I already posted.

!

[cobito]

Well, what do you want me to tell you, I don't see any difference :fumeta:

In the enterbf3 forums they have trashed the PS3 version.

I'm already downloading the beta, I'm at 25%. I guess in half an hour or so I'll have it.

[Tecnho]

Where are you downloading it from little one because the EA link doesn't allow it, it's mostly for passing it on to some friends.

By the way there's only the metro operation map, as I already said it's the same as the alpha which is something I dislike quite a bit because it's the same thing again, there's another map the caspian border which is only for internal testing which they have commented that "maybe" they will open it the last week of BETA, so keep an eye out, as it would be the real battlefield and not this map that gets boring after a while without handling heavy things.

I downloaded it from Origin.

Well, with the #1 team signature at 1680x1050 and everything at full, I get a sustained rate of 30 fps, with very occasional drops to 20 (after playing for a while I haven't noticed those drops anymore). At this rate it's perfectly playable, but not completely fluid.

As for the game, for me without vehicles of any kind, it's not a real battlefield. The graphics are very good and the sounds are quite spectacular. But as I said, until vehicles can be used, it's just another shooter (within reason, because it has quite a few cool things).

So far I haven't found any major flaws, so I think in October we'll be facing a pretty polished game.

And as for the beta game mode, to be honest, I haven't fully understood it. I don't know how to choose the team or anything. I always end up in a park. If we do more or less well, we reappear inside the metro when we respawn and if we continue, we go deeper into the stations. To be honest, I don't know what the objective is. I've just been killing.

By the way, to see the fps you can press ctrl+alt+S.

[Tecnho]

Let's see if they unlock the damn Caspian map that has everything, because I didn't know about the FPS thanks cobito, because with the z5500 that I think you had, you should be able to hear that like luxury XD.

Well yes, it would be pretty good to be able to test vehicles. As for the Z5500, my parents have those. I have to settle for a Creative T7900, which don't sound anywhere near as good as the Logitech, but they give a decent sound.

[Tecnho]

Well, with everything on ultra and everything maxed out, my custom vamsos run at 42fps max and sometimes drop to 29-30, but the gameplay is very smooth, let's hope that with SLI it will be perfect.

So it seems that the processor is not of great importance in this game. Better for me

[Tecnho]

Now it gave me spikes of 62 but the stable ones are 35-40, I think micro doesn't suck much either. By the way, the drop zone works poorly to be able to invite friends and enter the game together.

[Tecnho]

I got the daily pass for caspian, but it's impossible to get in, a friend managed to play to see if I can sneak in today or tomorrow.

P.D

After half an hour I was able to play, I tried the viones and they are very good looking, a shame that where I entered there were some lags and they disabled the missiles from the viones :resaca: so to shrapnel the helicopter pretty well too but with even worse lag, I liked the tank and the destruction is great, but I didn't have a zoom or a machine gun for the pilot, I read that it was disabled for the BETA but anyway overall I really liked the map of 64 it's amazing.
The anti-aircraft are authentic batteries as they put them, tomorrow I'll see if I can give it a try without lag.

Ummm, I don't know if to ask you. Well yes what's that about the daily key for caspian?

[Nemo]

Well it seems that Nvidia is not the only one that has released new drivers optimized for the Battlefield beta, ATI has done the same for their graphics.

Well, I've already developed a habit this afternoon and...

It has bugs. You knock down the soldier and he keeps bouncing, there are areas of the map where you get stuck under the textures when you crawl...
My 8800 GT is enough to play it, but with EVERYTHING at minimum (1280x1024) :llorar: and with the options disabled. Even when I put it on manual, it won't let me move anything.

I've been left watching how spectacular it is and aware that, logically, with everything at minimum I haven't seen anything.
So, there's nothing left to do but buy a GPU :risitas: I'll wait to see how it runs with different graphics cards and, depending on what you're saying, I'll make up my mind about which one to go for.
