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.

    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
