Battlefield 3 is Here: Make Sure You Have the Latest Drivers
Does your system have the latest drivers for Battlefield 3 yet?
The wait is finally over. Battlefield 3 is here and ready to accept your countless hours of first-person gaming. This is what your gaming rig was meant to do.
EA estimates that there were close to 3 million pre-sales, making Battlefield 3 the biggest first-person shooter launch in EA history. 9.5 million gamers downloaded the September beta and collectively set new social online play records for EA with 42 billion shots fired and 1.6 billion kills registered, 21 million exploded M-Com stations and 19 million dog tags lost at the end of a knife.
Before you jump into the game any further, however, you should make sure that you have all the most current drivers for your game. Such is the joy of being a PC gamer.
Nvidia yesterday released a new driver set that's optimized for Battlefield 3, Rage and Arkham City. Battlefield 3 players will enjoy a performance boost of up to 11 percent GeForce 285.38 beta drivers.
AMD doesn't have an official new driver set yet, but those looking for best performance (along with Eyefinity 5x1 support) should get the latest Catalyst preview driver that's been tuned for Battlefield 3 and Rage.
Speaking of which, here's a bonus video of Battlefield 3 running in Eyefinity:
Happy gaming, everyone!

BTW, i7-930@3.8 with a GTX570@815Mhz with ultra settings I had to turn on vertical sync to get rid of the screen tearing, so I guess it was getting more then the 60 fps at 1920x1080. The game informs you that you are not running the recommended drivers when it starts. At least for the Nvidia drivers it did.
Anyone know how to get your current FPS?
Is that for campaign or online? I don't care about online for now.
presumably because its a warez version that doesn't go online anyways.
1.6 Billion kills
unless it takes 40 shots to kill a person these people have horrible aim
lolz ... correct
Looked it up: "Render.Drawfps 1" in the command console (` button)
cause i didnt see enought action on this screening
cool watch
Accuracy normally averages between 10%-20%, so that means with 4.2-8.4 billion shots there was 1.6 billion kills
