Just saw the gameplay video and I'm really stoked! Those huge vehicle heavy maps are going to be insane. The jet fights looked pretty insane too. Going to be loads of fun to play in one, that's for sure :D

It puts the "Battle Log Issues" in the Don't-Care-About jar :D

Wow. Just wow. Not much else to say other than I think this convinced me that even if my 2 460's can run it, I may want to upgrade them so it looks like that video. :laugh:

The alpha only really choked on processors that were not quad core. You can bet it's going to be much better by release, too.

I am running a Q8200 overclocked and undervolted @ 2.8 GHz, and a ATi 5850. I never experienced any FPS problems on the highest settings allowed, at 1920x1080.

Ditto. I don't know what a 590 is in comparison to SLi'd 460's. I didnt get to play the Alpha of BF3 as I only managed to connect to a game once and then it only lasted a minute or so, major issues with the origin thing, linking to browser, linking to the game. Horrendous way of launching the game :( why they did not do it all in game I don't know :(

:(

I was trying to hold off buying it over the retailer specific DLC crap they are pulling, i even cancelled my pre-order, but after seeing conquest mode in MP i just had to pre order it again :|

That little bomb disposal robot makes me laugh every time i see it.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
