    Hey all,

    Can anyone with an R3 provide a screenshot of MW3 on max settings? Or a link to one? None of the YT videos I looked at indicate if it's on max settings or not.

    Thx!

    on 6990M it runs on details extra and 4xaa 1920x1080
    no higher settings possible.
    framerate is 70/90fps on those settings.

    So you're saying the graphics are weaky (in comparison to say, BF3)? Then why do people like the game so much?

    EDIT: Nm, looks decent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?src_vi...PE&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_489700

    Honestly BF3 is slow and annoying and I HATE the web interface for multi. Haven't played MW3 yet to compare it.

    Just talking about SP. I've yet to try MW3 though. Didnt even finish the Black Ops SP. Too many games! Not enough time!

    Xenn0X, what Catalyst version are you running? On my 6970 it's completely unplayable. Did you override the application settings from CCC? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Nevermind. In my case it has to do with my switchable graphics. If I switch from the IGP to the ATI, it's slow. Upon reboot using the ATI, the problem goes away. It's incredible how smooth it is with everything maxed. Thank god quickscoping is back in MW3!!!

    Any time I switch from IGP to ATI graphics I have to do a reboot before it runs at maximum clocks...

    The graphics in BF3 is much better than MW3. Crysis 2 graphics is also much better than MW3.
    MW3 graphics aren't bad, but its just the same as MW2. Doesn't justify the high pricetag
