Yeah it's working great now

There's no crossfire icon in any game as far as I'm aware?
Anyways, I think it was more to do with my unrealistic expectations than anything. I've turned MSAA off and now its pretty much always 120+ fps with Ultra everything so I'm happy with that.
I read this on Toms Hardware which was pretty useful to me:
In AMD’s Battlefield 3 documentation, the company makes a big deal about the difference between the Anti-Aliasing Post and Anti-Aliasing Deferred options, which toggle on and off Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing and Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing, respectively. Both features do different things, but have very disparate effects on performance.It’s easy to see why AMD is so concerned with the use of Anti-Aliasing Deferred: it imparts a massive frame rate drop, which takes a card like the Radeon HD 6970 that might be playable at 2560x1600, or a Radeon HD 5850 at 1920x1080, and beats performance back quite a bit. Anti-Aliasing Post, on the other hand, though not always an effective approach, barely touches speed.
Perhaps more worrying for AMD is that, while the GeForce cards are also hit pretty hard by MSAA, the impact is far less detrimental. At no point does the addition of 4x MSAA take an Nvidia board from playable to unplayable (aside from maybe the GeForce GTX 285 at 1680x1050). AMD can’t say the same.
You’re at least safe turning Anti-Aliasing Post to High on AMD’s cards. Whether you want to mess with MSAA depends on how much performance you have “in reserve” to throw at eye candy.

Lol @ the paranoia/OCD this game brings out in people
-
Well I feel
ish -
OK, so I've installed the second card, but I'm not 100% convinced it's working properly.It SAYS that it's around 60fps but it sure doesn't feel that way.
Anyone here with a crossfire setup that can give me an approximate frame rate for BF3?
Settings are all ultra, at 1920x1200
-
Huh? Have you played it? Thought it wasnt out yet?
-
Hot tip: theres a spell you can buy early on called 'Clairvoyance'. If you ever get lost it shows you which way to go
-
It's just the people that know what they are doing already went 'wtf is this shit' and gtfo
Join a BC2 server, it's only retards.
Lol why continue to comment on a game you don't like then?
-
I keep playing it in bits and pieces when I get sick of BF3.
I get the same thing as the Penny Arcade guys.. 'Opportunity Paralysis'. I can't make a decision and stick to it!
-
Love it when you're the only engineer on your whole team.. who seem to be oblivious to the tanks that are laying waste to them
-
Just had the most epic-est battle of all time.. our team was down 150 tickets and we overcame it, was awesome!!
Shitty k/d but man I had a good game!!
-
I'm getting another 6970 next week.. hell yes!
(I know my current card isnt a real 6970
) -
Haha sorry guys I went to get dinner, but my mates started playing MW3 in the lounge and I got sucked in to playing that
Was a good couple rounds, even though we got flogged (uneven teams for ages!!).
EDIT: We should make it a Wednesday thing though.. doesn't matter if people don't show, they'll just know it's on if they want to join

The 2600k is i7 branding also not just i5.
http://ark.intel.com/products/52214/Intel-Core-i7-2600K-Processor-(8M-Cache-3_40-GHz)
Same price too, why not i say!
i7 branding is only good for e-penis length
Plus it's ~$100 more expensive, not the same price.
-
i7 has 2 threads per core, plus 2mb more cache. Means virtually nothing for gaming, but some programs that use hyper-threading are much faster.
Also only some 6950's can be flashed these days, most now have the shaders lasered off. I was one of the lucky ones, but these days it's a bit of hit-and-miss.
-
The 2600K is not the flagship though.. i7 990X still is (for some tasks)
Sandy Vadge is for mainstream users who want performance at the right price.
It's just a little funny how well even a supposedly weaker 2500k will take the fight to Intel's $1k+ 6-core monstrosity..
-
Yeah, always get the most powerful single card you can afford, then you can SLI/Xfire later if you want
-
Yeah count me in
sherbert86 is my origin/battlelog name
-
yay for servers...at least you can reduce them.
from my experience BF3 seems to have less _ _ _ _ (insert word of your choice here) for some reason than other games
It's because the game rewards you heavily for doing what you're supposed to, it's a lot more objective based than something like COD.
Although have to say, I was playing domination on MW3 last night and I found that pretty enjoyable with minimal douchebags
-
and is it me or do giants have a decent swinging arm? i go flying literally into the clouds when i get wacked by them, lol.
It's not just you....

First Impressions:
There are thousands, if not millions more phags that play this game than BF3. I'm of the opinion that sniper rifles are overpowered.. one body shot kills, what's that all about?
Graphics are much, much shittier. Very smooth though!
However, despite the phags and shitty graphics, I still found it to be a lot of fun. Will be better with some mates and beer though
-
Well, I was browsing the JB website and saw that you can trade in Batman for MW3. No brainer really.. Batman will be fun for a couple of weeks, MW3 will be months at least!
Except now my stupid housemate is using the TV grumble grumble.
EDIT: If any of you guys wanna play my gamertag is sherbert86

Xbox is social?
I am a veritable social butterfly when a new Forza comes out then.
I am talking split screen gaming + beer. Much harder to organize with a PC.
-
Anyone played the Xbox version? Considering buying it next week, BF3 is great but PC gaming isn't very social most of the time...
Also does it support 4 player split screen?
ish
