BF3 on PC is sooooo much better.. looks stunning. Choppers/Jets are a bit awkward tho, bit of getting used to me thinks! Jets more so than the choppers.

I'm actually surprised how easily I'm gettin by without Internet but those nights when there's no one around and nothin on tv, that's when you'd miss the aul xbox. Plenty of drink over Christmas so I should be grand

edit: actually probably better for me to be off the xbox, drink + Xbox =

Know how you feel. The first weekend was for difficult tbh (BF DLC was out) but for the most part I got by alright. Been busy studying, but also catching up with a lot of TV shows that gaming had gotten in the way of over the past year if not longer.

Only got internet back today.. thankfully.

1080p/High. Haven't tried it on ultra, smooth as a babies arse on high tho.

Nice, i was gonna go with a 6950 but apparently there isn't much of a difference between the stock versions.

I had my try of NVIDIA, wasn't happy, decided to try Radeon, if i dont like it I have a one week chance to trade.

ATI/AMD is diffo the way to go atm... from what i've read anyway. Don't see why you wouldn't like it tho, im sure the 6950 will handle BF3(Apparently the most demanding game atm.. besides metro i think !) probs on ultra (Providing the rest of your specs are up to scratch). Not bad for a mid range card at all imo.

6950 equals the capabilities of a NVIDIA 560TI but is more stable, its FPS is higher but they apparently have cooling problems, so it's recommended you have a good case, which I do,

Just played 1943 for the first time in a year if not more, class game.

Interesting to note how few people, at least in regards to my friends list are playing MW3 compared to say 4 weeks ago when everyone was on it.

Might through on BF1943 too, haven't played it in ages. If it had a few more guns/classes, I'd play it all the time.
