Nice to see the beta supports EF. You didn't have to anything weird to get it to work?

What're your specs?

I will chime in on this. To get it to work you'll have to set the resolution (5760x1200 in my case) then exit the game completely and restart the game. In my case it wouldnt set the resolution correctly if I did not restart (after selecting desired resolution), the screen would just blink continuously (you can still play the game it's just annoying) and not set the correct resolution. Pretty simple though. Another odd thing the game always starts windowed clicking it will cause full screen though. It's possible these two conditions only affect me, of course.

I am getting 45-35fps with all setting on high, 4X AA, 16X AF, VS disabled, HBAO on. 5760x1200 Resolution.

Specs - Phen2 x4 965BE @ 3.8Ghz, 8Gb Dominator 1600, HD5970 OCed 900/1125, Asus Crosshair III MB, 3x Dell U2410

elmy, what are your detailed in-game settings at? Just Curious.

Yep, DICE are to be congratulated on this one imho, Eyefinity support is excellent out of the box.

On my system (see sig), I'm getting the following...

CROSSFIRE ENABLED - High settings, 2xAA, 4xAF, HBAO off
Min 34
Max 65
Avg 44

CROSSFIRE DISABLED - High settings, 2xAA, 4xAF, HBAO off
Min 26
Max 45
Avg 33

CROSSFIRE ENABLED - High settings, 2xAA, 4xAF, HBAO on
Min 27
Max 41
Avg 31

As you can see, another nice surprise is that Crossfire is very effective in this game. HBAO on the other hand kills the performance on my rig, and frankly the game still looks fine without it, so I'll leave it off.

I think the performance in general is really nice.

You can crank the settings up and it won't really drop the FPS that much.

Really hope they decide to implement a fixed FOV for this game, it's so stretched at 5040x1050 :(

I loaded the beta from Steam last night. I get a small (looks 640x480) window which quickly disappears when attempting to launch. 2x5870 cf, Win7x64. Gave it the obligatory reboot, tested again and then went to bed.

:)

Anyone else hit that one?

Yeah there's a fix for that here..

It's a DX11 thing apparently, same thing happened to me. Another workaround is to launch the game from the actual .exe, rather than via steam.
