What gamer only has a 120 GB SSD and no other hard drive...?

a gamer who only plays 3-4 games on his PC at a time... i have other HDDs, i just refuse to install programs on a separate HDD (completely defeats the purpose of an SSD). 25 gigs is about 3 games...

Just started it up today and wow, it's terrible. The texture loading and popping is insane, and I'm running a i5-750 with a 5850. Not to mention the textures look bad, I'll be waiting for the hi res texture pack before I play it.

I doubt a 25 GB game doesn't already come with insanely high textures already.

Who doesn't have that these days?

It's not always about having enough space. I personally thought that was ridiculous as there's no reason for a little single player shooter, especially one that can be finished in 10 hours or less, to need 20-25GB.

Yea read couple min ago that there was an ATI performance beta driver done last night, but also reading some people say not to use it ( read makes it worse) and wait for others out later today.

Reading the forums and what systems people are posting their setups, and seing more ATI cards with the popins then anything, but could just be a popularity thing on why seing more ATI cards with issues compared to people that arent having problems with Nvidia or using the BF3 drivers

I found that (on AMD) forcing VSync and AA/AF via the Cat panel seems to help until the official driver hits later today. Mine went from the prior video to similar results as this:

"Its an iD game, if you are looking anywhere but straight ahead you're playing it wrong" :)

Doesn't really helps. Only made it worse for me.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
