The 5850 is the equiv of a GTX280-285. So a fair step up tbh.

i bought a 5850 Sapphire Vapour wotsit at the weekend. I was previously running an 8800gtx. It's absolutely lovely with BFBC2. Crysis is even better.

I am however getting random crashes in Battlefield, you know, the one where the monitor switches off?! :( hasn't happened in anything else yet.

Looky here:

Has some info on what the Day 1 patch adds. We can now see our K/D ratio on the tab screen. But not ping, sadly. Which is the one thing I really wanted to see there. Unless that's what the middle column is...can't read it.

Okay..not a lot of info, but some. :whistle:

Question here, The M1 rifle which you can supposedly use, is that an unlock / pre-order bonus or what?

Middle column IS ping.

Ahhh I see it now. And I don't know about your question, I'm pretty sure it's one of the pre order bonuses along with the pistol.

2 x Classic Battlefield 1943 Weapons

    • M1A1 Submachine Gun – Popular with Paratrooper and Commando units in WW2 for its rate of fire and stopping power the M1A1 is still seen in the hands of paramilitaries today. Reliable but heavy, this classic weapon is still a powerful force in the hands of a Battlefield Veteran.
    • M1911 Pistol – Adopted in 1911 by the US Army the M1911 saw heavy service in WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Highly customized M1911 are still favored by Special Operations forces for its reliability and the power of its large .45 caliber round

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this so far but the document listed on the first post:

Soldier Names

Doesn't actually show anything (not on IE or Firefox for me anyway)

The names are there however, you just need to highlight the hidden text (text seems to be the same colour as the background).

Works fine here ( Chrome ) and it looks great.

What really ticks me off is that veterans site simply just will not accept my 1942 serial (mine is not the standard 4-4-4-4) and says my Vietnam key has already been entered by someone else. Also it is not working for 1943 at all when I choose it. I would have all games entered, instead I am just a Level 4. May contact their support actually.

Screenshot of the settings I've got running on it. It's running Rush maps only atm, not sure if it will let me do both kinds.

beauty, i live in BC so speeds should be decent for me too!

Any ideas if they are going to do the veteran thing like BF2142 you got a little Battlefield 2 logo next to your name?

Yes they are.

http://veteran.battlefield.com/

And a few of us, myself included, are still having issues getting the Veteran thing to recognize all my games, in fact I just emailed their support after unsuccessfully waiting for a Live Chat agent twice. For whatever reason I cannot register Vietnam or 1942 even though I have them both...

Just took that about 2 hours ago for when I contacted support. I hope to get it resolved so I get the unlock and then have all BF games registered.

    • This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).
    • Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
