Battlefield 3

Well I know on the Beta my Alienware ran pretty decent.
CPU- i7 Quad Core
GPU- Nvidia GTX 260m
RAM- 4 gigs at 1333 speed. (forgot the real term.)
Plus a screen for 1080p.

I did can I run it and im in the go zone! :th_jester:
Alienware FTW!!!!
 


beta it ran worse, it would take as much cpu as you could give it.. runns much better now. im guessing even though you ran it 1080 you didnt run it on ultra?
 
yes i am getting the green flashes every now and then, cranking my fans 100% to keep the gpu super cool made no difference, i just downloaded the new ati driver and i believe i am still getting the flashes
 


well i download modded drivers and they caused me to blue screen after 30 min.... so i got new ati drivers(11.10) that came out to improve bf3 and gonna see if i getthe flashes still.

Click to expand...

each there own, BF just isnt for me, onlines meh ill always like COD multiplayer more, i was more disappointed by the campaign
 
like matt said 99.9% of this game is multiplayer, campaign is extra content, the campaign ending reminded me of MW2 ending lols. you lying their almost dead as the guy your hunting is walking toward you to kill you, 100% same lols
 


computer started to blue screen after 60 minutes last night after i moved my tower..doesnt like heat lols, to anyone who has their gaming computer butted up to a wall, your exhaust fan throws the hot air out and that hot air bounces off the wall and back to your computer to get back sucked back in your computer which causes your computer to build heat untill sometime breaks down..

Do your computer a favour, turn the tower sideways so your hot air from the exhaust fan can flow freely out and not bounce back into your computer.
 
My PC kept freezing randomly, I finally found out that the GTX560ti series need to upgrade their BIOS for all manufacturers. Mine is Gigabyte specifically, I flashed it last night and its not freezing anymore.

It sux that we buy the game and the card that's supposed to be the right one for it and get these problems. It would have been nice to receive some kind of announcement that this upgrade needed either by nvidia or EA. I even bought a new PSU because I thought it may fix the issue.
 
really new gpu's always hve bugs. i got the 6870 right when it came out and it wasnt that much of a improvment over my 4890 but each driver update it just kept getting better and better, i love the card now.
 
6950 was meh to me.

Frames were about 10-20 FPS higher than my overclocked 460.

As for system stability.... Haven't had any problems.

Stock clocks on stock coolers works wonders for stability. :D
 
ya had my amd 945 3.0ghz oc'd to 3.5 ghz for over 6 months. well guess my computer now does not like the overclock... doesnt really matter cause i turned all my stuff to stock and now have no more blue screens after hours of testing! and my fps are exactly the same as they were when cpu was @ 3.5 ghz lols. with my mega cooler my cpu idles @ 25 celsius and BF3 load max temp is 43 celsius. nice and cool
 


was stable 6 months ago, ran prime 95 for 24 hours never hit over 46 celsius and no warning/faults, and ran too many games to list. so it was stable, (i know how to overcock). really wierd though after my ati driver update to 11.10 is when i started getting blue screen of death.. ah well didnt increase it much fps wise anyways.
on another note tonight seemed really buggy.. me and my brother tried multiple servers and both of us were crashing to desktop... very annoying.. top points in a match so far is 7.4k(including ribbons) 4.8k without ribbons, i love medic!
