Make Sure You Download The New Drivers Before Playing BF3

This information is very IMPORTANT so I reposted it so that it would have it's own link. Make sure you download these drivers the night before and install so that your not scrambling to uninstall on launch day if they mess up. Below I have added some things that might help you during launch day to be prepared. If your headed into battle whether it's online or in real life, you should always do a full check of all equipment at your disposal. I will add more items to the list as I think of them. Download links for drivers are below.


Prep your gaming area:

• Get a minifridge
• stock up on monsters
• buy a carton of cigs
• if you smoke weed then you know what todo there
• clean every part of your computer of dust
• enable overclocking
• do a disk fragmentation 
• clear your internet browser cache (origin calls functions through IE, Chrome, Firefox)
• uninstall any previous versions of Battlefield 3
• (Windows 7) Start>Run>Type 'msconfig'>Startup Services> disable any apps that you don't use.
• Don't play online using a wireless connection.
• Just remember alot of pro gamers use low resolutions on a wired local area network so that framerates and latency won't hinder their skill. If your Kill/Death ratio is horrible (under 1.0) then you should think about dropping those pretty graphics down abit. If you have the rig to max it then props to you, but alot of us can't afford a new rig everytime a game comes out. I won't be getting a new gaming rig until Janurary.

     FYI. New drivers will be released the day before Battlefield 3 launches. Make sure to grab them especially if you will be purchasing Battlefield 3 as there are numerous bug fixes and better performance as well.

For those who have modded the latest Quadro driver (http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-tesla-win7-winvista-64bit- 285.58-whql-driver.html) it is very close to the final driver but is missing a few Battlefield 3 fixes so if you do download and mod them, make sure to update to the newest Geforce drivers next week. The Quadro driver does contain the fix we've added to address the TDR issue.
