I have a EVGA GTX 560 ti, and i think even i need to upgrade. I can pretty much max out Bf3 at full res though ,so maybe i'll be okay.

Maybe just looking for an excuse to upgrade. A good  680 is about $600+ , but i'll probably need to get a new psu to power that one as well.

 

I wan't all those effects they show in the video.

 

I just hope its nothing like Bad Company 2, where having a higher end pc put you in a disadvantage due to you seeing all the smoke and debris while lower end machines had all that turned off, allowing them to see more.

 

Couple more weeks to beta :p That'll at least give us a chance to see if our current set ups are up to task. Then we have a month to upgrade :D

 

 

Even a 760 sc would be a big step up from your card. And shouldn't require a new PSU.  

Still, even a 760 wont hold a consyant 60fps at 1080p ultra.  Im running 760's sli at 1440p and have to play on med/high to get at least 60 fps.

 

edit: im talking about bf3 of course

I don't know why they'd do one and not the other.  The Battlefield series has had very strong audio support in the past (I only own Bad Company 2 and BF3 along with the two newest Medal of Honors, but still.)

 

Maybe not right away, but I'd still expect it.

Because EA and DICE were talking only about Mantle and didn't say a word about TrueAudio support. That's why I don't have much hope.

And compared to Bad Company 2, the surround in BF3 is terrible. Explosions/shots in the distance sound way too close to you and it's just impossible to pinpoint the footsteps of the enemy, no matter if you use high quality surround speakers or headphones.

I haven't had that experience at all.  Using Realtek or what?

I am running a GTX 770 4 GB on a 500 watt power supply fine. Played Left 4 Dead 2 and Simcity 5 for a little bit. Plus Battlefield 3 all on Ultra quality for around 3 hours. No problems.

No, a dedicated card from Asus which provides me clear results in other games. And why are you saying that like Realtek is bad?

Are we back in 2008, where on-board sound cards were a bad choice because the lack of features like EAX?

You realize how many channels they have?  It's incredibly easy to use 128 voices, nevermind the 31 most Realtek cards have.

 

It's not about quality, it's about functionality.  They don't have it.

Reckon it'll likely do ultra but high is often actually better performing. Even on epic rigs ultra can introduce more frame lags so while average FPS is still good it'll actually appear more jittery that it ought to.

 

High is probably a good bet.

 

System I'm looking at purchasing comes with a quad core AMD processor and a 2GB GTX 760 and I'm fairly confident it'll comfortably do high settings with decent FPS.

 

The min specs are laughable though...BF3 wouldn't even run on those...I should know - i tried. Needs a quad core from my experience to be anywhere near acceptable.

 

Thanks that's what I was thinking.

Dang, I was all set to buy a new machine decked out and what not, but with the AMD graphics they just released i want to wait....i never liked ATI/AMD but this new Mantle API sounds interesting. dont wanna fork over 1300 for dual 780's and then have to turn around and sell em to get the new AMD's. I hate having too many choices >.<

Multiplayer trailer and some dates were released:

How to Join: - Join the Beta on:

Pre-order the Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe Edition - October 1*

Battlefield 3 Premium member - October 1*

Registered owner of Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition - October 1*

Open to all Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC players. Download from Xbox Live, PSN and Origin.com. - October 4*

http://pixelenemy.com/battlefield-4-open-early-access-beta-dates-officially-clarified-by-dice-new-maps-shown-in-latest-trailer/

Pre-ordered the deluxe edition just for the "exclusive" beta access. If I knew there would be an open beta for all, I'd just get the regular version.

But never mind, it's almost here :D

I did NOT pre-order, so I'll be coming in 4 October with all the regulars.

 

The PC beta is x64-only - in other words, don't even think about it if your OS is x32.

 

Fortunately I have the right OS (Windows 8.1 RTM Pro x64), albeit driven by the "wrong" CPU (Intel Q6600) and GPU (nVidia GTX550 Ti - the first non-AMD GPU I bought for my own use in ever).

 

And with the betas for Titanfall AND NFS Rivals as the followups, I'm going to have a VERY interesting fall beta season.

Titanfall gets a beta? I thought nothing was certain yet, and that anything regarding a Titanfall Beta was a scam? Didn't they have a problem with scam mails and sites?

Notice that both games will release after BF4  (Titanfall may not release until 2014), and the first announcement of the beta for Rivals was at Gamescom.

 

I tend to wait for announcement from either developer OR publisher, and this is especially true for games with a large hype quotient - that way, I am not as vulnerable to scams.

 

Of the three games, NFS Rivals is the game I am most excited for - with BF4 and Titanfall roughly a draw..

The chances for a Titanfall Beta is there, but it's still a new IP, and they might not want to risk cancelled pre-orders and that kind of thing. But that's just a gut feelng.

I know I'd love to see a beta of it, just to test it without having to buy it, to me it just seems like COD with Mechs and thrusters, and just getting to test the gunplay would be wonderful for me.

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
