Downloading this right now. A guy running a MSI GtX 660ti Power Edition Oc says that his card runs the current beta butter smooth with it all maxed out including TXAA 4x. I hope this is true. The download speed isnt horribly slow but its not that fast either, I cant wait!
The download was finished in about 20 mins. I ran it with it all maxed out "AA disabled" at 1920x1080. I got roughly 40 fps average. It was still playable but I did get some lag. Time to tweak the game and see if I can do better. Time for a CPU upgrade too. Good luck everyone.

seems like alot of people are getting mixed results haha. I can run it with 2x msaa on high @ 1080p with 50-65 fps but the minute i put it on very high and/or 4x aa of any kind, my fps simply tanks. Not that im running a high end video card or anything lol, but you would think going from high to very high would only decrease your fps by a little bit.

Try shading at high, rest at very high.
I saw Shading takes away at least 10fps on average, next it water, then shadows, post process and object detail.

those new modes seem pretty fun, I'm not sure if they're done in other games but its nice to see EA hasn't sucked out all the innovation of crytek yet.
