I had similar CPU load when I had GTX280 instead of 6850CF. I guess that now my setup is bottle-necked on the CPU side...sarcasm said:
Actually I just got off a recent session. I've been seeing 80% usage on my Phenom X4 965 3.7Ghz.
In BC2, I used to see around 65-70%.
So I don't know if the claim of less CPU usage is accurate, at least on my machine.
GPU Usage though, pftt.. BF3 definitely hits 100% even on my GTX580 at 900/2200mhz. Insane. I'm curious how the final game will look.

Wtf? Did Intel just sucked compered to AMD CPU, or what? I just made a big lol.
Intel i7 2600k = 300$
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T = 160$
if this is the case, than it would be better than BC2 because destructive environment was a bit too easily destructive in BC2...burty117 said:
I wouldn't say the enviroments are less destructable, they're just harder to blow up. At least that's how I've felt so far. I can blow through most walls with enough Rockets and c4's

Well I run this on a 2500K @ 4.8ghz with a single GTX 480 at a resolution of 1920x1080 and I get between 45 - 60 fps with every setting on it's maximum.
As for the CPU part what do you expect really seeing as they tested them at the stock speed's both the AMD and Intel CPU's were at stock speed, but apparently even overclocking the CPU (2600K) only gives a 3fps boost and personally I would say that is rubbish and it would have given more than that, unless this game does require more core's rather than speed which is where the AMD will have the upper hand considering they are 6 core cpu's rather than 4 cores.
Notice though that there is no 6 core Intel CPU's tested?
I wonder why that is or maybe they just didn't want to show how much better they are than the AMD 6 cores are.
Firstly you do not get between 45 - 60fps with the ultra settings at 1920x1200 using a single GTX 480, no one is reporting performance remotely like that.
I like how you are calling my CPU results rubbish with no prior testing to back it up. I also find it odd that when clocked at its default frequency the game uses just 40% of the Core i7 2600K yet you are saying overclocking would make more difference.
Intel has no affordable 6-core processors and in any case the Core i7 2600K has 8 threads to work with.
In no way are we bias towards AMD, we simply report it as it is.
As for the other comments about the AMD vs. Intel CPU battle, yes the AMD processors perform well in BF3 but you cannot base their value on this single title alone. In fact you cannot base their value on gaming alone, simple fact is you get what you pay for with these processors. Right now Sandy Bridge rules.

Frankly, it's disappointing to see the lack of polish in current builds of BF3 with just 21 days before launch day. I'm thinking of replacing my old GTX 275 with an EVGA GTX 580 SC just for this game. I hope I won't have to go through weeks and months of downloading patches before I can get the gaming experience that DICE promised.
People expect a finished game/demo in Beta. Its laughable.

Looks like they have several loose ends to tie up.
Poorly designed menu's are more of a minor complaint, but the above mentioned gameplay glitches and visual bugs need to be ironed out, and soon.
I won't get this game till its $35-$40 but I look forward to playing it online.

I agree with you 100%.
Thanks for the nice review. I don't know what the big fuss is about the CPU's. Games have always relied more heavily on the GPU anyways. You could have Intel's finest 6 core using an IGP and you wouldn't be able to play games on it ( very well ). Everyone knows Intel's Sandybridge owns AMD's offerings in pretty much every benchmark.
It is nice to see my 945 X4 will be hanging in there for a little while longer though!
I particularly hate when you hit somebody, and they kill you, their health says 100%; that's some serious game client latency issues.

Yes, I know it's a beta but overall have been disappointed with it. Very buggy and crashes frequently. Why does Origin use ~150MB when doing nothing and having no in-game server is ridiculous.
The game needs some optimization before going to sale, because, looking at the graphics, it doesn't sincerely impress.Battlefield Bad Company 2 looks similarly good, and it runs miles better.
I think they created so much hype on purpose, so that addicted gamers go and spend all of their money on expensive GPU's and CPU's.It's allright for me, because my 9600GT churns along the games for quite some years now, and it never failed to run everything on max.
So no, nvidia and AMD, you won't see money from me!
You hear that all you fools that have purchased graphics cards over the past 4 years? You should have just got yourself a 9600GT ...it max's everything out.
Dude, obviously he is using an 8" monitor, 800X400res on ultra settings.
you don't need new GPU's, just get smaller monitors!
