Battlefield 3's Frostbite 2.0 engine promises to push your PC's silicon to melting point, but how does it look when running on the consoles? With the beta eating into our sleeping hours over the last week, we found the time to grab some 360 and PC footage to see just how different Battlefield 3 looks when you spend a grand on PC hardware.
We should point out the specs of our capture PC, which has recently been upgraded as a Battlefield 3 Beast, packing dual NVIDIA GTX 580s and an i5 2500k running at a healthy 4.5GHz. Basically speaking, it's stupidly overpowered for the beta. We've tried to upload the highest possible quality footage, but YouTube can only pump out video so fast, so some of the PC's superior resolution advantage has been compressed out in the YouTube version. We'll have a more detailed video comparing all three versions when the full game releases in just a few short weeks.
We HIGHLY recommend changing the resolution to 1080p and then expanding to full screen
