Keep us posted of how your rig for example handles the game, I'm curious to see what's needed to run this at max, and how it looks ofcourse.

Nice looking and good requirements too.
Never really played any of the Battlefield games though, I consider myself more of an Crysis guy.
But I will keep an eye on this and see how it turns out.

You should try it out, just for the sake of it. It's probably going to be one of the most demanding games this year.

Also, AMD and NVIDIA have released 'special' drivers for Battlefield 3. Performance increases of like 30% will be gained. Smile

^ Already? Did you preorder it or something?

But good to hear it runs fairly good. Can you post screenshots? Smile

Well I'm not really in a mood trying out beta software right now. Besides Fifa 12 is hopefully arriving tomorrow or on Friday. And Lonesome Road DLC is out for New Vegas so I got my hands full.
