Widescreen Gaming Forum

It's a bit late but here's my experience with the game in Eyefinity.

HUD elements are not centered. I didn't look up info on it and it wasn't a bother for me since we're all playing with an early code base. I can only hope that they have that rectified in the gold code.

Let's see... framerates? Resolution for me is 5040x1050 (1680x1050x3). At first, it ran kinda sluggish. But I went into the video options and toned down some of the settings. Once I had motion blur turned off (or set to 0, dunno which one really works), anisotropic filtering to off, and the HBAO effect off, everything was fairly smooth. Keyword being fairly. I'll have to set fraps to run in benchmark mode so I can log the min, max, and average. So far, so good. I like the visuals. Day 1 started really terrible for me. Random disconnects and timeouts from servers. But Day 2 was much better and managed to get in several rounds without a disconnect. I'm not liking how loading a new map puts the game window back to windowed mode. Annoying but unrelated anyway.

Hardware spec: Intel i7 2600K @ 3.7GHz, 16GB RAM @ DDR3-1600, Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P, 2 XFX 6950 2GB XXX Edition in Crossfire.

No screenshots. I'm dying too much and too stressed out on staying alive to bother taking one. :)

btw... do we have comparative screenshots yet? I forgot if any of y'all have managed to get any. If not, I'll see what I can do on trying to take some.... if the server can actually stay empty long enough! :)

Yes, you can check the Detailed Report.

Are there any card's/SLI/Crossfire mixes that are performing well? I appear to be getting around 20fps average at 5760x1080 on Ultra with no AA - crawls often however.

I get 45-70 FPS on ultra at 5040x1050 (3 x GTX 480), latest "battlefield" beta drivers.

Can we swap job's and salaries? Haha.... Triple SLI is a bit outside my comfort zone I think, cost for one and power draw, rig runs 24/7.. thinking I might wait till next gen actually, think I can limp along with the 5870 for a while longer.

Soon I will! They're sitting on the desk behind me, they shipped too fast though, or rather, my fittings and tubing shipped too slowly, so they taunt me for now :)

I have 2x 5870 in crossfire mode and I get all sorts of textural glitches whenever the settings are on ultra plus the framerates chug. Set it on medium and that all went away, turned it up to high and it looks great and plays great. Using the latest beta drivers. Im sure this will be fixed soon with a profile before launch to maximize the crossfire setups.

To Ibrin:
Dont worry it was well warranted. Had a previous run-in with MW2. I guess I failed to grasp the point of taking time out to go and repeatedly post negative comments about a game because its the direct competitor to your favorite war game.

I didnt notice till a few days ago but playing it in eyefinity mode I have no map, health , ammo and choice of being revived on the HUD. Game is so much fun I never minded (even though its only 1 map).
