[Battlefield 3] M11x Video/Gameplay/Benchmark (All inclusive) Thread

[DeeVu]

To continue the tradition I have several videos I am currently uploading to my channel. I've had Alpha, Beta and now I am posting release videos on FPS for the R3 model of BF3.

Figured the R1 and R2 guys could also post their things here so that we have a collective thread rather than a bunch of separate ones all over the place.

My contribution -
Videos (and those in the works):

1. Tutorial Level
Battlefield 3 [PC] Release - Tutorial Level - M11x R3 - YouTube

2. Quality vs. FPS comparison Test
This was in BETA. Just figured I put it here until I get around to making another one.

Suprisingly smooth, I'm impressed. Reckon Skyrim will run well on a max specced r3 with a decent overclock?

Nice post DeeVu!

I'm picking a retail copy up for my R2 tomorrow so I'll contribute when I get it running! Hopefully it does...

I feel like it will run well close to max. I do not know as I have not been following Skyrim.

I have not made a video, but I can tell the tale of my M11x R1. It is ... sad.

My R1 is stock, I have my GPU overclocked, that's it. I can load into the single player campaign fine, but in order to play close to 30 FPS I have to put EVERYTHING to low/off AND lower my resolution to 800x600.

Multiplayer is much of the same, but a little worse. I lowered the resolution to the minumum (728x564?) and then I get between 25-30 FPS. This was on Caspian map Conquest mode.

Needless to say I am looking for an upgrade.

[MustangDJP]

I guess it is my CPU that is holding me back. I was running in FS mode. I had Gamebooster 3.0 running, I am running the newest drivers from Nvidia. I closed everything that I wasn't using (Steam, Skype, etc).

I thought it would at least get around 35-40 at native resolution on all lowest settings, even at 1024x768. The game looks good at minimum settings at native resolution, but when you go down to the lowest, it looks like your playing Wolfenstein 3D, but outside ....kinda blocky

[Whiplash]

I must be doing something wrong... BF3 runs like crap for me. Even with everything on low settings it isn't running well at all.

I've only played on multiplayer so far but I can't imagine single player being much different. It can't be internet lag, I've been playing on servers with <20 ping.

GPU OC @ 575 core clock, 1415 shader clock, and 840 mem clock.
CPU OC @ 164Mhz
Game Booster 3.0
Throttlestop TPL @ 40/40
HDMI to 22" TV (1280x768 res I believe)

i might test it tonight on my r3 see how it goes. I will only be using it MP really.

I would love to do more testing on my pinmodded R1 system but I'm not going to buy it because I'm terrible at it.

I did make a video of the beta on my system running at 1080p, I'm sure I could get better performance than that with some tweaks.

Keep the info coming haha. This thread is going to be the deciding factor on when or even if I buy BF3...
