Battlefield 3

Publisher: EA

From our Battlefield 3 review:

'The infantry combat is responsive and engaging, the vehicles a grin-inducing joy ride. The fact that there are so many game types and that the maps reconfigure depending on player count means there’s a huge amount of variety in BF3’s online offering, and with more unlocks than you can shake a boom-stick at, it’ll take you ages before you’ve seen and done everything. Battle Log and Origin are awkward, but Battle Log is at least functional, making it easy to find servers with free slots or running your favourite maps.

In short, Battlefield 3’s multiplayer is a triumph, and while the single player campaign isn’t the most original, or entertaining shooter, it’s the online modes that will keep us playing for months to come.'


Battlefield 3 has garnered an almost Crysis-esque reputation as a graphical benchmark for PCs. We run the game at its highest 'Ultra' settings with the Field of View set to 70. We record the average and minimum frame rates during a ninety second on rails section in the campaign mission 'Going Hunting'. The benchmark begins the moment one of the NPCs says "plans have changed".

seems various reviews are showing power draw is HIGHER than the R290.... and others like yours show it being less....

a much better cooler than the 290 :D and titan`s day are over


power useage and temps when overlocked??

Posted by rollo - Thu Nov 07 2013 14:16

All Reviews use different review systems, Some draw more power than others. Bit techs review system is one of the more power frugal ones that ive saw.

Performance is great that price is Insane.

you should probably look into mentioning that the 290x would likely compete much better upon the arrival of the non-reference cards which amd has been rumored to have put on hold till the release of the ti.

plus really on price-performance ratio i'd say 280x is still the better bet.

Posted by rollo - Thu Nov 07 2013 14:24

Cant compare none reference cards which dont exist yet to a card thats out now. Thats not how a review works lol.

Its cooler quieter and uses less power and is quicker than the 290x thats a win for Nvidia.

Problem 99% of us are not gonna spend £550 on 1 GPU. Even the r290x at £400 is above most peoples budgets. ( Even on this forum and those like it theres very few people who buy top end gpus on a consistant basis)

In the Real world £200 - £300 is the most ive saw most people spend across a good number of forums.
