I'll definitely be playing.

What platform are people going for? I have a ps3 with on 40" Sony (3D) LCD LED and a good PC ([email protected]/6gb Ram/GTX 470 and twin 24" Samsung LED LCD).

I have been playing BF2 and MW/MW2 on the PS3 previously, but Im wondering if I should make the switch to PC instead =/

Getting battlefield on anything other than PC is just the wrong kind of experience.

bfbc2 on xbox and pc were basically 2 different games.

And yeah, 5870 on 2560x1440 just won't cut it ;)

What sort of graphics card do you guys think it would take to handle BF3 on high/max settings? currently have an intel i7 2.67ghz cpu, 6gb ram (computer seems to recognize only 4gb??),ATI hd4890 graphics card, some gigabyte motherboard. dont know too much about computers.

The reason your computer is only reading 4gb ram is because you're running 32-bit Windows. You'll need 64-bit to make use of the 6gb you have

no kidding? its been pissing me off for years thinking i got ripped off

It was pissing me off too, having the pc recognize only 4th of ram. Time to grab that 64 bit version of windows.

The maximum amount of ram is actually theoretical:

2^32 = 4,294,967,296 ~ 4gb

2^64 = 1.844674407371e+19 ~ 18.4 billion gb

That's right, if we had unlimited ram space for our pc, we could theoretically have a maximum memory of just over 18 billion gb......... WTF?!?

Definitely need windows 7 x64 bit, otherwise you will only see even less than 4gb of ram.

Anyway, I'm thinking 6950 as a minimum for bf3 at 1920x1080.

anything less than that and you won't get absolute maximum.

They are making a new engine for this sure, but as if it won't get made properly which means even the slightly lesser than the highest hardware should make do just fine.

time to retire the old 4870 :( dagnabbit now i gotta buy another aftermarket cooler

No need on the newer ati cards, they run a hell of a lot cooler than those 4 series cards.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Watermouse · Posted

      Maybe of interest, a little while ago I spoke to one of the guys from Rajab Racing Developments and he hinted to me they could be developing a new cast exhaust manifold. Incidentally, they have already made one for the barra and it looks functional

      So Bathurst coming up so really need to get this new ECU in. I regret going to flex fuel and all the headaches associated with DBW with cruise etc....a miss the simplicity of Power Fc   I make enough power that I should have just gone back to 98 but...anyway Turns out with the std inlet I cant really go any bigger than 60mm DBW so wasnt able to play with that aspect of the update.

      We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one...

When we leave the parking lot, we'll head down Australia Ave, and turn right onto Homebush Bay Drive at the large roundabout near DFO. As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
