Have you bought the game already golden?

[goldenfooler]

yup and I was running the beta fine for me. It wasn't ultra, most were set to high on the auto setting. The fps are 30-50. I am sure the final will be a better FPS. I actually found close to no lag or rubber banding.

Well, it doesnt recognize the overclock for sure. Maybe because it's not ramped up and idle. Doesnt recognize all of the video ram either. Guess cause they are idled down too. I just installed another 6970 2gb card in crossfire and it almost doubled my FPS in BF 3. Got my cpu up to 4.2 and it screams pretty good. I can tell a big difference in game everything really smoothed out.

If you guys want to go on the cheap and have a fairly good card to begin with I'd try and pick one up on Ebay or somewhere and do crossfire. It really helped my game. I didnt have high hopes for the improvement I got but it was the best $100 bucks I ever spent on a machine upgrade without breakin the bank. Just make sure your mainboard supports crossfire and has a PcIE slot for the additional card. and do some measuring to make sure it fits. I have a big heatsink on one and it wouldnt work but in one slot to allow both to be put in. Just do your homework.

Power is a big deal too... make sure your PSU can handle both cards.

Yes, forgot about posting that. I did a calculation with this http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp
My setup now calls for 722w My PSU is 750.. right in the sweet spot with overclocks and all.
