Good point... since they're branded AMD now.
lol you know Chris Angelini wants to cry a little.
As much as I love BF3, skyrim will be the reason I am tired over the next month(years? infinite quests)
Good point... since they're branded AMD now.
I'm getting performance issues, the frame rate drops alot from 60 to 40-50 and the gpu usage is between 50% and 80%
Other than that the game is AMAZING
I'm using a phenom II 955 3.8ghz oc + gtx560ti oc @ 1080p maxed
I recieved my MW3 copy today and I have to admit I didnt expect BF3 to be so damn good that MW3 now feels so damn lame
For example, if a driver claims a 10% performance on the GTX 560, then do a test to see if the GTX 460, GTX 260, and 9800 GTX will get a performance boost in said game.
often with many drivers when there is a performance boost, they often list it for 1 or 2 cards and it is often their latest cards.
I feel this is important because if there is a driver update and it fixes no issues that you specifically has and also offers no improved performance, then there is no benefit in updating in that specific case.
Hopefully this will fix those problems.
I do however get random flashes of a green frame. And it very occasionally crashes during multi (thrice in 6 hours that i've played). Wonder if the green frame will go away with this...
this time add all the cards and configurations that we have been asking for including a complete chart with all GPU's in order of performance.
PLEASE.?! and THANX.
