Thats a nice mobo! Give some thought to going Quad. The Lynnfields will give you a great bang for the buck if you can find them for the right price. Not as fast as the Sandy Bridge ones, but close and they will give you a very good upgrade over the Core 2s'

^ ^ LoLZ I didn't know you could that.... thanks for teaching me something new

What motherboard do you have? Somehow that PCI Express lane arrangement doesn't sound right. :p

according to Nvidia it is :p It wasn't enabled when it first launched. The last major patch of the game enabled the 3D mode. Last I tried it was glitchy for me. I didn't tinker much with it though

Most of the new benchmarks hardly include the Core 2 Quads anymore. Fritos' thread is amazing since it gives us a look into how much a difference multicore processor have when playing massive multiplayer sessions. Long story short, You need a Quad Core chip or higher to alleviate some of the...

Thank you frito, this was just along the lines of what I wanted to see when I posted my performance thread. Now, I just need to start the fund for the quad core upgrade, as it will make a significant difference :D

So... at 720x480... I hit low frames in the 15s... :'( Jets flying overhead made my cpu spike up. Yep Dual Core is no bueno. I wonder if there any any other [H]ard members experiencing this issue

I have this monitor. How would I go about checking/reproducing conditions to see if I have any blacklight bleed

Oh man, thats like describing music of a deaf man. Um... well the support varies from game to game. I can tell you that Portal 2 and Battlefield Bad company 2 impressed me. The "3D effect" adds a "depth" to the things you are doing in game. So yes, it feels like somethings are a bit farther away...

I got one of these ones for free! :cool: Be warned, its really bright... Which is a good thing when running the 3D mode.

Which drivers do you have? The new 285.79 Beta drivers improves some of those sturrering issues. I have an SLI setup as well so you might want to do a clean drivers install and give them at try

The 3D mode will work and you will get the added benefits when you buy the new lenses (i.e. more comfortable, better viewing angle, better brightness, etc). I was present at the GeForce Lan 6 presentation where they unveiled the new 3D vision and the highlight was the LightBoost technology...

Thank you Community. This is most enlightening. The specs on your rigs are way above those of mine yet I am not attempting to reach Ultra settings, just a mix of medium and high settings. Frito and QuiteSufficient would never be bottleneck by Vram where as I would be at the High texture...

Interesting, I never thought about checking it that way. I will give it a try. Thank you :D

Thanks for the review! I want to see a CPU review though. Something I found out the hard way. BF3 Multiplayer struggles when it comes to Large maps and dual core processors. I want to see someone actually measure how much of a difference is to be had when you switch to a quad core.

I was at 97-98% usage on both GPUs using the 285.79 beta drivers. So I'm no sure why you might not be getting all the juice from the SLI setup

I think that is news to me. I know that you can use them interchangeably as a physX cards. I don't think there is any risk in trying, so I guess i'll give it a try

check out my thread if you want to see what I referring to

GTX 460 768Mb models have been completely phased out. So you might have a hard time finding one. I currently have an SLI GTX 460 768Mb and I play at 1080p. I use high settings except for MSAA and texture at medium. If you can find a another card for low price, it seems like a good idea...

oh man, When are those releasing? I'm barely getting used to the SLI setup

I Installed the beta drivers a couple of days ago. I noticed that the game runs smoother. I will check the GPU Usage on my SLI GTX 460. Will report back

Lol thats the CPU I've been looking at. But I wanted to see what the community had to say in regard of the their setups. I guess that we should have warning. Quad Core or more for incoming games now.

But you see, thats not so much the problem. The setting for the screen shot I posted are all high Except for the texturing which is at medium. No MSAA and medium FXAA. I've turn to SSAO in attempts to "smooth out" the gameplay. I do get around 40FPS maybe 50, but when there is a lot going...

Yea. I have pretty much realized that, My previous rig was a Q6600, I only opted for a dual core thinking that higher clocks wold benefit me better. Clearly, I was wrong :P

When do the new GPU release again? I imagine that it will be over priced, as it normally is during the first release

Nice, well I will go ahead and buy a Quad Core. I know that the GTX 460 (specially the 768Mb version) might be a hard pressed to reach ultra, yet High settings should be within reach, I wonder what other setups people have. Particularly those with Dual Core rigs

what is your avg FPS?

Hello community, I was hoping to start a conversation regarding my and your SLI setups (or Setups in general) for running BF3. The game has a couple of neat console commands that allows us to check how well our computers are running the game, but I will get to that later. First of, it is...

This is awesome, is pretty much what I was looking for thanks.:)

Has anybody here tried that; I've done some research and I have extra parts to build such a thing. Athlon proc, more that 2 PCI NIC and one wireless NIC. I have heard that smoothwall is pretty good, but has anybody her done something similar

Nice cases almost makes me want to give mine up, :)

I second that motion
