    In Single Player I have to Crank it down to 720P on Medium just to get my 60FPS. & ussually it will still dip into the high 40's.
    (Havent Tested MP yet as you have to unlock levels in SP to make them available in MP... :mad:

    This Compared to BFBC2 where I get 60FPS @ 1920x1200 Cranked all The Way Up.

    check my Sig for System info.

    What are the rest of you getting?

    I played the beta on steam and I had the same result real low FPS so I deleted the game, I'd rather play BFBC2 anyway.

    It's because there are currently no drivers out for mobility versions of ATI cards that supports games that new, as 10.9 wasn't released for notebooks. 10.10 would fix your issues when it is released.

    Howdies chiefs,

    I've been playing it for the last couple of days. Pretty fun. My mates already finished it lol. It is really short though :(

    I've maxed out all the settings to the highest in the video menu AA on all High settings and 1920 X 1200p of course. It runs really well. Not really taxing it seems. My GPU fans don't run full bore with this game like it does with other games. I've also noticed that the games FPS might be capped at around 62 - 63fps.

    I am normally stable and constantly running it at 62fps. It does dip down to like 30 odd sometimes though for very short few secs and rises up again to the 40s and 50s. However it mainly stays at 62fps for most of the time. Plays very smooth and seems to run much easier than other games. I'm using FRAPs just to guage the games fps.

    Also I've tried running the game on both my systems (Specs in my Sig) and theres no real difference. Both perform flawlessly with this particular game. Very sharp movement and smooth.

    However yeh there still isn't any new driver from AMD for like 2 months now. SHocking stuffs lol. So many new games have come out since then and I'm still waiting for better support and performance for FIFA 11. It would be interesting to see also how much better the FPS can get in MOH Tier 1. However I still believe it is capped at 62fps. I'm also running with Vsync off as I do all my games.

    CMON AMD where are my 10.10s. ????????????????????????????????????????????...................................

    Cheers. :)

    Whats your FPS max out or run at? FRAPS?

    I also have no problems and agree it does run better and much less taxing compared to Kompany 2. Super smooth. Doesn't feel like a very taxing game to me to be honest. I still reckon its capped at 62 - 63fps though. Unless you guys are getting higher FPS now?

    Cheers. :)

    I can't seem to install punkbuster. It errors out saying it cannot copy pbsvc_moh.exe to my system32 folder. I have BFBC2 with Punkbuster installed. Would this cause a problem installing PB for MOH? Should I uninstall PB from BFBC2 and if I do, will I not be able to play BFBC2 online anymore?

    Okay I just tried Taliban Tier 1 again with the new APP profiles and no difference. Then again it was already performing very well and smoother beforehand as well.

    Crazy in Multi Player I get Blistering Frame Rates of 60-62 FPS with Everything Cranked up to Maximum @ 1920x1200.

    But in Single Player I get 24-30 FPS with the Same Settings...

    I've had(and probably still have) some bad performance issues with my machine in MoH. Same spec as Reborn2003, but with a 720qm instead of 740qm. I disabled crossfire and it was running much better! try that out if you're having problems while running crossfire :)

    Edit - I haven't tried out the MoH profile yet, as I don't have MoH. I played the beta :)

    I get the same performance on SP and MP with everything maxed out. Not sure what issue you might be having...

    I am sure the 10.10 mobility will fix alot of things for us especially since the new VBIOS allow us to use the drivers directly from AMD without having to really tweak anything (correct me if I am wrong)

    I don't know if anyone notices but playing MP, I get the same screen blackouts like on BC2 but only few a seconds. Other than that, the game runs more smooth than BC2.

    Sometimes I get a serious FPS drop from 60+ to 15 for 1-2 sec and then it resumes. I don't know whats the matter or if I need SLI profile update which has MOH added in near future?

    They used 2 different game engines for SP and MP, this could be why.

    I thought that might have something to do with it but havent played much SP lately... that would also explain why it is only 720P & not 1080P support for the console versions also. they had issues optimizing frame rate? or maybe they just ported it over from console....boooo.

    Can you you apply the profiles if you are using the latest Dell drivers and the new Vbios? How would I go about applying the profiles? Someone hold my hand and tell my I'm pretty!

    When I had mr R1 it (throttlestop) was the only way I could use my machine properly . I would get the exact same symptoms as you reported 60+ frames them boom 4 frames per second , it would climb back up then rinse and repeat . But once I found throttlestop used it never looked back ;) Definetley nominee for program of the year thanks uncleweb :D

    Well MP stinks and I'm going back to BC2. It's too easy to die from one shot, especially by a pistol or a shotgun 200 yards away.

    Looks that the guys from DICE were in such a hurry to release the game that they forgot to test it, lol. What a shame, not to mention the crappy campaign.

    I am having the same problem, if i disable crossfire it all works perfectly. Makes me wonder sometimes why i bought the 2nd one :)

    Do we have to wait for Dell to issue an update for the cards or whats the score, only had the alienware laptop for 8 days and dont want to knacker it up just yet by installing duff drivers :)
