    Anyone else playing it? Im running the game at a smooth 25-30fps. Sounds unplayable but it looks and feels very very smooth. Much better then my desktop 2x 4890 that stutters like crazy.

    Hey, i downloaded the Beta on my R1 a couple of hours ago and am loving it

    i play on the lowest resolution and press Alt-Enter and it puts it to the small screen and i get very very very stable frames.

    all settings to low: still ing beautiful

    hope they dont change the alt-enter thing like they did in BC2, because thats what is allowing me to play smoothly.

    also: OC'd processor to 1.73 and updated my Nvidia drivers to the newly optimized BF3 drivers
