Battlefield 3 Beta: Test scene
Our test is simple: We're starting at the city, running down the bank near the water for 20 seconds (logged by Fraps). This scene on the Metro map sports a wide view distance, particle effects and, as a result of the sprint, streaming. Indoors the frame rates are about 30 to 50 percent higher. Since we're using the latest drivers from AMD and Nvidia, the Catalyst 11.10 Preview and Geforce 285.38, these results are state-of-the-art.
Where are the pc specs they used?
I checked the original source and its not mentioned there, unless I am blind.
The only reason the gpu scores are so low is the sheer scale of the maps and the level of detail, also this was run on the beta version of the game, which clearly needs more work...Also the motion blur is completely stuffed, these benchies are in actual fact quite useless xD
Also this really made me laugh
No they are not. When the game launches and you bench it properly, then its state of the art.
I'll run proper benches when the game launches.
Will have them up in the hardware section on the forum if anyone is interested.
Also a little weird...I run 6870 in cf and 2 x 6970 in cf and i get way higher fps than they are showing....
BS i get 60fps with my 6870s cf on ultra!!
Quite simple I'd say - marketing sham by the Nvidia and AMD perhaps?
Everyone not in the know goes: "Oh snap. Need better gpu. Upgrade time".
Unlikely, but very possible.
Yip as I thought I am blind xD
Thanx for pointing that out.
Yeah I will def be running benches on it, also I see they are only running 4Gig's of ram...Lame.
Anyway these benches are way off, I know what I am running and I know what my mates run and they also get way higher fps.
I call BS on those benchmarks.
BS i get 60fps with my 6870s cf on ultra!!
I presume on making that statement all your other variables are the same... And you are running at the same resolution? Doing the same benchmark run through as they described?
I am not accepting that these benches are perfect, but make sure that your comparison is AvA.

Mate..seriously...
All the serious gamers that have serious rigs can see that those benches are completely screwed up.
6990 55.4 fps ? WTF!! LOL!!
Its crap I know it is.
Well we'll just have to see what other gamers report. But still my question is what happens when you take CF and SLI out of question whether you get the same results as it must be noted that these tests were probably done with single cards. But either way, more tests and feedback from the community is needed. The more feedback we can get from people with varying setups the better we can really guage the true impact BF3 has on a rig
According to these benchmarks and which were the first to be out, a single 580 averages at 50fps with everything on its highest settings. So 60-65fps should be for 6850 CF.
