The Official Battlefield 3 370z Platoon

Three people in the tank!

If you've got the guided shell and have someone working the CITV you are unstoppable. You literally never have to stop moving and you can hit everything with near perfect accuracy.

My 6950s are here!

I don't have my new mobo yet so I just popped one of them in, replacing my 2GB 5870.

I got the Sapphire "Dirt 3" edition 2GB 6950s which come with a dual bios switch. If you flick the switch to the non-factory setting it unlocks the extra shaders from 1408 to the full 1536 that are available on the 6970. Then you go into the cool Sapphire TriXX utility and raise the core and memory clock speeds from 800/1250 to the 880/1375 from the 6970... voila... you've got a 6970 but spent $100 less!

So far this thing blows the 5870 out of the water. I can run medium-high settings (with minimal AA) across 5760x1080 resolution. It's going to be nice once I CrossFireX both of the cards. I should be able comfortably run High-Ultra settings.

^^ hah thats sick one of my friends just did that to his 6750 last week.
I've really been wanting to try out that CITV

damn looks like i just logged on when you logged off

I'll get back on in a bit. Backed out to watch some of the football game and clean up... boxes all over the place.

Pistol only maps are hilarious

RoshDawg · 12-03-2011, 02:59 PM

I've been playing pistols only non stop now. G18 is amazing on it. So much fun..

ggiwin · 12-03-2011, 06:31 PM

Shooting down helicopter pilots with a M4A05 is always fun

Or killing people with the MAV. They get so mad lol

Finally took the 3rd spot with someone who has guided shells and quite the fun. You don't score much though in the 3rd spot.

You really don't, and I think its most effective if you have voice communication. If you can keep the tank moving all the time while you are firing off guided shells its so damn devastating.

Ffuuuuuuu-

I cant play BF3 on my lappytop and Im stuck with it at home. 2.5 weeks without BF3 is making BOBO GO CRAZY.

Ouch, that sucks!

There's a big patch out today which unfortunately for me really reduces the power of the IR scope.

Oh... here's my current work in progress:

The new board is in. Cable management is a lot better than it was before but can still be improved.

I have some cooling mods coming down the pipeline. A real CPU cooler and a bunch of case fans to be installed in the coming weeks... and some shorter SATA cables to tidy things up a bit.

Steve, what the "F" is that?? WOW!

oh my lord...that is a thing of beauty...

m4a1mustang · 12-06-2011, 06:35 PM

Having all sorts of issues with it right now, though. Lots of crashes with Crossfire so far.

I am going to switch back to the standard 6950 bios (1408 shaders instead of the unlocked 1536) and see if it runs any smoother that way.

Do you still have problems with bf3 running CF? Try this and see if this will work. Apparently it's a fix for CF users. Seems like you may need to disable ULPS. What ULPS does is that it disables the second card to save power.
Battlefield 3 Crossfire issues? Complete list of known fix's here! 11.11b link inside!

There's other stuff to do as well such as getting certain ati drivers and CAP4

I'm using an i3 OC'd to 4.4 ghz, 8 gb ram, msi 6950 twin frozr III PE/OC. constant 90-110 fps in high. About 70-80 at maxed settings at 1920x1080 res
