News Battlefield 3 recommended specs only good for medium settings

Meh, the Beta plays fine at whatever the default settings are (getting to the menu proved very buggy for me) @ 1080p.

This is on my HD6950 (1536sp, stock clocks rather than HD6970 clocks) / i5 2500k Stock combo.

The game itself seems quite good from the brief lag filled time I had playing it. The less said about Origin the better.

 

Apparently the beta's Ultra settings aren't active - they're the same as high.

 

The chap over at Tweakguides has confirmed they are in fact enabled; I tend to trust what he's saying.

 

Well put it this way, I saw no difference with my own eyes and fraps returned virtually identical results @ high and ultra.
