According to the devs, you might have to exit the game, then go back in for the settings to take effect.

Mangler · Sep 28, 2011, 08:11 AM

A question for those who managed to play caspian border, how was the performance in that map compared to operation metro?

VVanks · Sep 28, 2011, 08:14 AM

It actually performed better than operation metro for me. I have a GTX570

The PyroPath · Sep 28, 2011, 09:09 AM

Any chance someone can tell me if my Phenom II x4 940, 4GB DDR2, Radeon 4870 512MB will cut it at this game? Processor wise not that many upgrade possibilities, graphics card wise I'd rather wait for the new series then buying so late in a cycle...

Mangler · Sep 28, 2011, 09:44 AM

This is odd, things are darker in the distance on the medium and high settings than on the low and ultra setting.

I think maybe you can play it in high setting...I'm not sure about Ultra setting. I have the same card but 512MB more than what you have.

Just played Caspian Border. OMG.

I wanted to play this game, but after I read the benchmark...my card is slowest to play this game?? I don't want to upgrade right now until I build another pc in nov-dec.

My 5870's should manage 50-55fps I believe. The difference in performance between a 6970 and 5970 was about 2fps. There was no crossfire 5870 benchmark but the 6970 crossfire performance was like 55-58fps.

Call me when it's on steam though.

bob saget · Sep 28, 2011, 12:46 PM

played for an hour now. So much smoother than ~12 hours ago. No sinking into sand, no stupid rubber-banding.

I am pretty much in the same boat

My 580 should handle the game I would think

But not getting it till it's on Steam, if that ever happens.

Danny Nissan · Sep 28, 2011, 12:49 PM

Can you lower renderaheadlimit in the .ini? I need to have it on "1" (in moh, bc2), default of 2 has too much mouselag (i know about HBAO also adding to the mouselag).

Just snatch up a 6950 and your computer will run this game at high if not ultra just fine.

You should get more than that, its only slighlty more demanding than any other frostbite engine game and I'm getting 150-200 with mins around 120, like BC2.

Dont think so Danny, but it does have a raw input mouse option like CSS and the mouse feels very good.

Oh btw guys, this game uses a lot of Vram, I hit 1477MB at 1080p..

A clear sign of a console port.

Your card is fine man. That german benchmark up there is 1080p with everything fully maxed out.

One more day.. hopefully they dont change that caspian password before I get my hands on it.

How much better is Caspian Border than Operation Metro? Does it feel as though you're playing an entirely different game? Does it really feel like Battlefield? Even moreso than BC2 felt?

I thought the gap between 6970 and 5870 would grow when time passed by but this just shocked me: there is only a 2 fps difference in minimum and 1 fps difference in average

WoW that 5870 was a nice card...

I just tested it and was pretty much blown away. I wish it wasn't lagging so much, because it was nearly unplayable, but I could tell the atmosphere was incredible. Multiple jets flying overhead, helicopters hovering in the air, tanks driving everywhere, etc. It was such a change of pace from Bad Company 2 in which there were usually only two or three tanks and air vehicles at the most, I really was speechless for a few seconds. This is what Battlefield 3 is all about.

Agreed, this is what I was waiting for, not Call of Modern Battlefield 3 rush mode.

And yea the servers for it are pretty laggy at times and I was getting a ton of harddrive thrashing.
