Anyone else having issues with Nvidia using the 320.49 drivers instead of the beta ones? I actually had far less stuttering and major spikes with the 320s vs. the betas. Gameplay was actually pretty smooth with the 320s.

No because I use nvidia 331.40 beta drivers which are better.

I'm coming from WoW so I'm familiar with expacs. Since I quit that, I just want to multiplayer (and campaign) BF4 and so I just want to know if I can do MP without every expac. Will it just limit the servers I'll see, etc.? Who knows, since I lost 1 drug, I may jump on every one for BF4 anyway. It certainly can't be more expensive than WoW in total.

Basic BF4 SP + MP on normal maps.
Digital Deluxe BF4 SP + MP + 1 expansion
Basic bf4 SP + MP + Premium = ALL exp packs.

Yes its expensive to drop around $100 on a game, you are getting future stuff with it though, if you really like the game it pays for itself. $100 is drop in the bucket for entertainment even if you play it only a year.

Mine is a little higher according to MSI Afterburner at 2560x1440 at the ultra default setting. I do not believe that the textures are the final high res versions. I would also think that building textures are not as diverse as heavier foliage maps.

hmmm, Everything set to max on my 7950 @ 1920x1080 has the Vram @ 20xxmb, just a touch over the 2gb mark.
 
Turned on the fps overlay in console, sig rig at stock speeds running everything ultra at 1440p and of course the counter is red 90% of the time. Minimum 20fps, max is 48. CPU is locked but I got quite some room on GPU (http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4108168) hopefully Mantle can push my minimums above 30fps and clocking the GPU another 300MHz should do the rest.
 
this is with everying set to high 2xAA
dual 7950s
latest release drivers
2560*1440

Do the leaderboards not work on chrome?
Click to expand...

It didn't seem like it was working, but I left the page open all day and when I checked just now Chrome was asking to use my location, and when I allowed it all the leaderboard stuff seemed to start working. Kinda weird...there are 12 people within a 1/2 mile that are playing the beta. And skill wise I am only number 3! The location is fairly accurate, I dont know if I like this. I can imagine some dude driving down my street yelling "you cheap mfer!".

EDIT: Actually, I dont think its accurate. What I have on my stats page doesnt match what's on the leaderboards. My leaderboard skill rating is 250, but my profile says 311. KD, SPM and win loss is 0.

I can see some nutjob wearing body armor over a BF3 t-shirt, locking and loading preparing to make an assault on Childs' house. All the while muttering "Out rank me on the leaderboards will ya? I dont think so....Ill show that hacking piece of crap who's boss" under his breath. :biggrin:

why is this game so cpu intensive? theres no AI. gameplay is the same as in past games. WTF is using all those cores for?

Ugly consequnce of sweetheart deals with hardware devs. "Here's 8 million dollars, make sure it runs ok, but not too well on older hardware." Gotta keep sales up!

Probably draw calls. There is a pretty substantial view distance being rendered in this map, and I'm not noticing a whole lot of object pop-in.
