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.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.

      I'm not sure how old the school is, but they've been doing this since GTA 3. Back in those days we'd be lucky for game companies to release on the PC at all. And with the current state of Sony (or Microsoft) their gaming wing won't be getting a penny from me.
