Wouldn't rely on it %100. Looks like it's just a marketing scheme by Nvidia.

I downloaded the drivers, so I am hoping for a bit of a performance boost. And judging by the settings screenshot, my 570 might be able to do a bit of ultra and high at 1680x1050.

Excellent, I got the beta drivers installed. Looks like there are a boatload of settings to tweak once I get in the game. Pretty exciting stuff!

So would a GTX 560 ti rank the same as a GTX 560 on that scale or would it bump it up closer to the GTX 570? I'm not sure where I'd rank in there...

A GTX 560 ti is better than a GTX 560 so it should be closer to High.

That will easily do High since SLI is supported(and I have 2 GTX 460s as well) and Ultra at various res like around 1920x1080, not sure about 2560x1600.

It should be able too. I have one 570 and for comparsion's sake, I can run Crysis 1 and Warhead at 1680x1050 at all Very High (Crysis) and Enthuansist (Warhead) around 40-50 FPS. I do have the AA down to around 4 or less. Same with Bad Company 2. I think a 570 can do a good mix of ultra and high for this game.

Yeah. You should be able to do a mix of both high and ultra. Probably also depends on the resolution.

LOL at people using that image as an official benchmark for beta performance. Don't be silly. When you get the beta, tweak the settings to your liking and go with that. There are tons of graphical sliders and options to toggle. It isn't like you're going to be stuck with All Low, All Medium, All High, etc.

I feel the same way. The 570 superclocked under performs a 580 by like 7-10fps on average. I'm for sure gonna be doin 1080p on ultra with my 570 based on that screen ^ I bet I can get at least 30fps minimum on ultra.

Marketing scheme or not, at least they're providing up to date driver support which can only please most of us Nvidia users. Whether it warrants 38% or 5%, what does it matter? A gain is a gain. As long as it's stable and optimized well, I could care less.

My gtx460 is overclocked to 850mhz which works like a default gtx480 so I should be able to play on High/Ultra with a few tweaks on 1920x1080.

I am going to max this **** out. Not on 1920x1080 @ 60 fp/s offcourse... but a solid 30fp/s should be fine if cf and ski are optimized well.

With your setup, should be maxing it out, 60fps, period. I don't see why not.

I think some developers do not like the idea of having a bloom effect options because some of their levels and environments hone more to it. Of course, we're talking about outdoor environments. Indoor environments suffer badly from it especially when some lighting like a lamp or light bulb magically illuminates and blurs the entire room with "lighting fog." Imho, there should always be an option for bloom if they're going to put everything else in the graphics options.

Oh it will, I have 0 doubt about that one. BC2 has amazing SLI support, and it uses 98% of both of my GPUs and I get double the performance. That wasn't made with PCs in mind first, and this one is. I don't think multi-gpu owners have anything to worry about.

I second this. BC2 ran very well with sli (2x GTX 460 1GB). BF3 will probably be better optimized. The dogfights should be grand. :)
