Yeah, it's cool. Though I must admit it's much easier in standard for multiplayer. Do you have the game? I was amazed at how smooth it ran on ultra settings. If you don't have it you should defo get it.

Ah, yeah I was gonna go with that graphics card but saw the 3GB version didn't cost too much more, then realised I would have got BF3 free with the other one! :(

Tell me about it, I bought BF3 for Playstation 3 as soon as it came out and after seeing PC gameplay videos online I was pretty dissapointed in graphics and gameplay so got rid straight away. I play Conquest, TDM & Rush, I prefer Conquest on Operation Metro & Team Death Match on N. Canals. Never really played any PC games before so took a lot of deaths and Jet crashes before I got used to the Keyboard & Mouse setup haha. Thinking about setting up PS3/Xbox 360 controller but think Keyboard & Mouse will have advantage when I get used to it.

Most of my friends just play it on console but a few are getting new PC's with BF3 too so i'm gonna get X-Fire/Team Speak so if you're bored or stuck for people to play with you can always join me anytime man. Just let me know and i'm down! :D
