I got a 550ti for about £100, seems to do the job. Shot my self in the foot a little as I had a GTX295 before and it was about 200% quicker -_- nevermind! The 460 is still good for its money, even more so when you sli a pair of them. Quicker than some of the 580's even!Quote:

I've applied to join the Platoon. :)
Request sent :)

Barely anything really. If I'm in a really geeky mood on theW/E (and if I CBA), I may roll back my graphics drivers and load up Fraps to see my FPS, then upgrade top the beta drivers again and then compare. But I really think I've got an extra 2/3 FPS?Quote:

Well, I had an epic session last night! Gained a fair few kills, a few unlocks and so far, I'm really loving it despite all settings are on low! However, the wife said that for my crimbo present this year, she will contribute towards a hardware bundle upgrade! I think this is awesome, however she thinks it's a rubbish gift! However, for me, CPU, Mobo & RAM > Socks & Kecks!!! ;)
Anyway, back on topic, I have a few questions that you al may be able to answer:
1. Stats - Are they going to be reset on release date, or will they roll on into the full game?
2. Platoons - Any benefit in being one apart from seeing games peeps are in and global Platoon stats?
3. @ZeroHour - How long have you been playing to get to lvl 34/35?! And how have you found time to do so!!! :)
4. Does anyone else "giggle with excitement" when they ump over items and see their legs swing around?
I know the stats will be reset on release day
Hehe I am only lvl 25, I found it pretty easy tbh when you know how the dynamics of BF games work with upgrades :DQuote:

I love the way the game works but a trick for you all, dont run up to the object and hit space, try and jump just before and I have found I can jump over the bar etc without the legs animation delay but that may be a bug.
Deffo a bug. I went on a server that was in Japan and could literally lag myself under the map for large portions of the game.Quote:

If we get enough interest/platoon numbers it could be arranged :)Quote:

My new graphics card is no where near the recommended requirements by nvidia lol the minimum recommendations start at around £250! Still running it all on high without too much framerate drop!
