Driver issue? No, I don't have a 6740g2, I'm on a 6620g alone. I don't have your problem where textures appear late. I can even see the flowers far far away. Keep in mind, the game is still in beta, there's a lot of glitches as mentioned in the battlelog forums.

hmmm well still, the 6620g is the only graphics running and it doesnt seem to play as smooth as yours. Iam up to date on all the new drives so I don't know whats going on the there.

Are you running the 11.10 preview drivers or the 11.9 drivers? The preview drivers are specifically for BF3.

Yea I got the 11.1
in the display adapters spots the devices are "6620g" like normal, but the other changed from "6650m" to "6600M and 6700M series" after the 11.1 update.

I have my A6-3650 crossfired with a reference HD6570. I am running 1600x900 at medium settings with around 30 fps on Metro. 1366x768 on medium hits in the 40-50fps but it does have microstutters.

That's actually really impressive performance there. Microstutters are annoying but hopefully they'll be ironed out in the next driver update or two when BF3 profiles are updated.

Ok, I'm not sure in what world 20-30 fps is playable in a shooter, but cheers.

Medium settings on BC2 at 1600x900 hits around 60fps half the time. If I disable vsync, the microstutters go away but there is screen tearing. Once they iron all the kinks out, this crossfire on the APUs is going to be a very innovative thing in the long run.

@ Ferzerp- It was a solid 30+ FPS. From the time I played, I seen no dipping in the 20s.


Did I even mention I was not using the Preview drivers? ;)

Wowow. How fast do you think is a A6 3650-6570 xfire compared to a standalone 6670 or Ge450? Do you think those cards are able to play BF3 at med settings/low res??

Yes, I installed an HD6670 in my cousin's computer because wanted to game a little. I can honestly say that a Radeon 6530d + 6570 crossfired made a noticeable improvement and it would be equivalent to an HD6670 or a GTS450 or maybe even a 550TI.
