According to EA, Battlefield 3 garnered 3 million pre-orders by the day of its release. It is unknown at present whether these figures are worldwide or just for the US. The pre-order total makes it “the biggest first-person shooter launch in EA history”, according to the publisher. The engine is beautiful on the PC and very demanding of the partnering hardware.
We configured the game to run on three 24 inch monitors at 5760×1080. We also dropped the Texture quality from ultra to high.
Good results for the Crossfire X system, averaging 79 frames per second at these settings. Not as fast as the HD7970 6GB Toxic Edition, but still impressive results.
single slot for a 7850 is quite impressive. ill not want them myself, but its a good idea to get your name noticed IMO. media fanbois should love this.
They would work well in the latest silverstone small form factor chassis. im tempted to build a second system now, with a liquid cooling system.
Its HOTTER, LOUDER and more power hungry. Even if its single slot, its a pretty big fail if u ask me.
im confused, are foxconn actually behind these or is it a different company? the name surely must mean they are linked in.
@ Maxwell.
Its less power hungry, did you read the graph wrong? also single slot cards are always going to be hotter and louder. unless they can suddenly develop new fan technology that is half the size/depth which miraculously is quieter. hasn’t happened.
@ Davis
AFOX are an off-shoot of the Foxconn brand. Originally set up as a graphics division to Foxconn it soon split and became its own company.
