@dinjo

Some bad news for you then. I found the frame rate poor even at 1360x768 with shadows set to low, bloom off, motion blur off and other options set to either low or medium.

Maybe its the outdoor area of the Rush map that causes it? Not sure as I wasn't in the game very long.

My spec FYI -
Q6600@3Ghz, BFG 260GTX OC Maxcore, 4 GB Ram

@Aman

Play? You're kidding right? I couldn't even MOVE for the first 10 minutes. Went through the official battlelog forums and fixed that problem (was only possible thanks to the Death Adder's custom mouse override setting) only to find that other key binds I (along with PLENTY of others) use are IMPOSSIBLE to set.

Result? I cant even zoom/aim down scope at all because the game refuses to remove the default binding! Its disappointing they released the BETA in such a shoddy state.

At least in BC2 one could manually edit the config. Here you cant do anything....

Are you using the beta nvidia drivers ? They were released for the bf3 beta and supposedly gives a 38% boost in fps.

Life is so much easier when you have a 19" monitor and max resolution of 1440x900. :p

The Open Beta should probably be open from 5.30pm india.The game will appear automatically under free games tab in origin!

Downloading it right now. I assume there is no requirement for a key to be entered in Origin right now, correct?

Would be interested to know how well this run on your system since mine is similar to you.
 
I am running it on 1080p with Ultra...

...have not encountered any loss in FPS and runs super smooth...will post some fraps once home...

So much for SLi 580's or 590's recommendation for Ultra settings...

Note that the textures have been cut down on the beta. When the statement was made by the developer, the new BF3 optimized driver from Nvidia were not yet available. For the retail game something in between a 580 and 590 will be needed to max it out at 1080p.
 
^^ I first tried it without the drivers...

It game me an error, but the game loaded and played, I played for less than a minute so couldn't judge the performance, but after the newer drivers, it ran completely fine...

If it has scaled down textures then, I guess I get another month to find out if I need more graphics power...

I am thinking of putting that 580 under water as well, think an OC'ed 580 GTX will be sufficient.
 
When the game is released, what servers are you guys planning to play on? I really don't look forward to playing on Singapore and Thailand servers with 200 ms latency or greater.
