      “recommends dual NVIDEA Geforce 580″: So what does that convert to in ATi money?

      GTX580 is on the same performance level as the HD6970

      Iiiiiiiinteresting… I played the BF3 Alpha (gfx on the ‘Auto’ setting @ 1650×1080) on my single Radeon HD 5870 1GB (with an i7 930 CPU) and it looked great and was smooth, with no noticable slowdown even with lost of on-screen action.

      I know that the release version of BF3 will have a bunch more gfx effects enabled, but have to confess to struggling to believe that I will need 2 x gfx cards that are effectively two generations later than mine. Me thinks that the clue is in the words “more than adequate”.

      What we really wanted him to say “Was for typical resolution/”Medium” detail you need X and a high resolution/High detail you need Y and if you have multi-monitors and want an FPS over 70 then you should get a life!”. ;-)

      Oh hang on.

      The interview was with an NVidia guy infront of people playing on PCs with NVidia logos all over them… Of course you need at least 2 x 580s. But everyone who isn’t totally lame will be running quad 590s with 3GB and if they haven’t got them yet they’d better sell their mommies and get down to their local hardware store before they are pwned.

      >:-)

      Neriah…. [m2s]‘s logo detective ;)

      mind you… I did hear that the Alpha trial had significant troubles with the Nvideo chipsets opposed to their competitors ATI..
      …. also… check out relating news articals with their partnership with Razor…. the Razor girls are fit fit fit fit fit fit fit!

      Don’t forget that the PAX BF3 tourny was sponsored by Nvidia, the guy will not say “but a HD6870 will ofcourse be OK at half the price…”.
      I bet he was referring to multiple monitor setups anyway, like everyone will use Eyefinity (AMD) and 3D vision surround (Nvidia)… yeah right!

      As a fellow player who participated in the Alpha, I agree with Neriah; the game was smooth and never slowed down when the action was intense. I suspect the game on full release with all the DX11 features such as Tess, radiosity etc and all settings maxed to only be a little more hungry, but Still playable with current generation cards.

      thanks Patrick for really pissing me off – how much will they cost me and what else will I need to buy to run the dual 580s?
