RD: If you run out of slots because the 32-slots overflows with too many >XI< members, we'll do something about it! If BF3 gets more attention and support from >XI< members than BFBC2 did, that would be a good start! At $1.29 a slot X 64, a 64-slot costs $82 dollars a month! Gotta be careful and see if it's REALLY worth it to do! On top of that, wait and see how the 64-slots servers "behave", when you fill them with 64 players, jets and choppers flying, multiple ground vehicle moving around all on those big maps, with player with different PING levels!!! If it lags or stutter for many of our members (for whatever reason), if our fellow >XI< members from UK or NL (with different pings) are having issues playing on let's say a server based in the US, well, we'll have to do something about it. Let the official release of the game to come out and a good month to see how it goes...until then everything is SPECULATIONS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Johnny, do you have the option to Crossfire that 5770? That might be the cheapest way to upgrade.They sell for around $119 NEW...or you could grab a second-hand one! For the price AMD partners asks for the HD6950 2GB, I think it's really one of the best upgrades on the AMD side of the house...the 2 GB of memory makes the 6950 2GB a good mid term solution that can last you quite long...they also offer 1GB cards, but the price diff between 2GB and 1GB makes it a non -issue... Newegg.com got HD6950 2GB cards stating at $259... Anyhow, BF3 will offer so many graphics settings that you will be able to TWEAK the settings to play the game at medium details ! If you disable HBAO, shadows and motion blur.... That's the card I've been checking out CplMOFO SAPPHIRE 100312-3SR Radeon HD 6950 Dirt3 Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with EyefinityI tried the game for a bit yesterday.Laggy on high settings so I dropped it down.It was alright but I prefer to run my games on high.I like the eye candy.you know I like to look good when I get shot.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I added you to the list of BF3 owners... For the 6950s, dunno what you think about the MSI cards (twin frozr II cooler design), but this is what I have(I got nVIDIA cards, 560Ti in SLI, but with the same cooler available to the hd6950) here and the cooler is VERY effective!!! Of course, if dumps heat into the case, so you need good case airflow.... The ASUS directCuII (triple slot biatch tho...) is also a good version of the 6950....

For skillz, we can offer advices! 1-To flash a 6950 to 6970 specs (like you said), you have to have one of the "flashable card" first...also be CAREFUL of what you do...you want to unlock the SHADERS....it's the safe thing to do, the 100% total unlock also cranks up memory clocks and voltages I thing and led to INSTABILITY... You want to do the SHADER flashing thing ONLY...if the card has the flash switch.. for the CPU overclock, well, you startby making sure your motherboard is "overclocking-friendly", then you buy a good cooler that cools an overclocked 6-core efficiently....you install and then you OC (after reading on it). I'm an Intel overclocker, never fiddled with AMD CPU overclocks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Gump, Are you trying BF3 BETA? On the HD6000-series topic, to be technically correct, ANTILLES is the code name for dual caymans on a single PCB...this the Radeon HD6990 dual-GPU. 6970 = Cayman XT 6950 = Cayman PRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
