    Anyone with 2GB VRAM+ get microstuttering in BF3 with 4x MSAA?

    Each card needs to have its own complete copy of the data in the vram. SLI/CF usually use alternate frame rendering, so the cards switch off rendering every other frame. If each of the cards only had half of the data in their vram you wouldn't be able to render the whole frame, or you'd have to...

    Anyone with 2GB VRAM+ get microstuttering in BF3 with 4x MSAA?

    Not necessarily. Going over the VRAM limit by a little bit won't completely tank your framerate. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4137/amds-gtx-560-ti-counteroffensive-radeon-hd-6950-1gb-xfxs-radeon-hd-6870-black-edition/5 See the Stalker COP 2560x1600 bench. The 2gb 6950 is about 15% faster...

    HD6870 slow in skyrim @ 1280x720

    Raising the resolution and enabling more details doesn't magically make the CPU bottleneck disappear. If you're CPU limited to 30fps at 640*480 then you'll be CPU limited to 30 fps at 1920*1080 too if your graphics card can keep up.

    BF3: RAM - 4GB vs. 8GB

    I upgraded from 4GB (2x2gb) to 12GB (2x4gb + 2x2gb) just because it was so cheap. I was hitting about 45% memory usage today playing BF3, so that's about 5.4GB total. Don't know how much BF3 was taking by itself. The level loads seemed faster than before. Now just need a 6950 and I'll be...

    Stuttering in BF3 with GTX 260 Core 216

    I don't have any stuttering with my GTX 260. Specs in sig. Playing at 1920*1080 w/ medium settings besides textures on high. Motion blur and MSAA off. Drops below 30fps sometimes (well more than sometimes :P) but no stutters. I'm still on older drivers, 260.99

    And unfortunately BF3 will outsell RO2 by 5x at least I'd imagine :rolleyes: It's kind of funny that RO2 is what BF3 should be - 64 players, PC exclusive, prone/lean, squad/commander system, destructable environments. etc.

    What games make you dizzy / motion sick?

    The levels inside the mountain in Crysis where there wasn't any gravity make me a bit dizzy.

    After 5 Years, Xbox 360 Still a Big Winner

    This is a joke, right? BC2 is a move backwards in every direction besides graphics from BF2. Hell, it's inferior to BF1942. It's better than Black Ops, but that's not really saying much.

    Sound card with GOOD Windows 7 64 bit support?

    Considering all of the shit Creative takes for their drivers, surprisingly enough I actually haven't had a single problem with my X-fi Xtreme Music in W7 64bit.YMMV of course. I had a few problems with it back in the days of XP and early Vista but since then it's been rock solid.

    Bad Company 2

    There was a max of 25,000 people playing just the Steam version concurrently, which is the highest I've ever seen for a game that doesn't require Steam, so I think its selling very well. http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

    Bad Company 2 Beta - thoughts, opinions?

    I get occasional slowdowns with my GTX 260 in dx10, but it's playable. The latest patch helped a lot, before I'd have to run in DX9 for it to be playable. Right now I have it set at everything high, no vsync or HBAO, 2xAA, 8xAF, 1920*1080

    BF Bad Company 2 will not support hardware sound acceleraton :(

    I don't know about you but I'd rather have the devs not waste time coding a hardware accelerated sound path when it would be inferior to the software one, and I have an X-fi soundcard. I really doubt I would notice the performance difference on a quad core anyway.
