XP & DX9 is _not_ supported, 64-bit OS is recommended. Lots of time to upgrade if you haven't!" The thread about this on the <a href="http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/batt ... ws-xp.html" target="_blank">Electronic Arts Forums</a> also has comments noting this was revealed already, and there are slides in DICE's SIGGRAPH 2010 presentation indicating Frostbite 2.0 will only support DirectX 10 and DirectX 11.

Well looks like they are moving forwards and pushing towards 64bit OS. Which IMHO is a good thing. I hope it still supports DX10 for people with older GFX cards.
Just changed mine over Christmas. I bought MSI 5850, yes I know these cards are end of line but for the price I couldn't resist. I've got 2 running in Crossfire set everything to high in the game and never drop below 100fps.
Bf3 Bye Bye Xp

Just got a new rig myself hammer last month, love running everything on max settings, though for BF I still play with everything on Low as I like it to go as fast as possible, hit 200fps most of the time when the server is quiet.
I actually started making a video of some Vietnam kills last night just for fun with you guys in it, going to post it on places like Hexus when its done see if it sparks more interest in our server. You'll be able to see then how I run the game and play it, wouldn't mind showing it to those gits who kicked me from their server the other night for cheating just to prove my innocence.
