EA to test server fix tonight It seems that the EA and DICE guys have found a solution. EA and DICE have now identified the memory leak problem and a fix is currently being tested with the Windows server software. Linux will follow later but ETA is unknown. The fix is not the smoothest one as it will require a total re-install of the server files, but at least the users won't have to worry about anything. EA will select service providers for an open test tonight.
As for our next test, mid-range cards still run 1280x1024 very well, though we would recommend against enabling AA for anything beyond 1024x768 without a higher end part. This really seems to be the sweet spot for this range of performance, but we have tests reflecting higher resolutions as well. For the higher end cards, the 7800 obviously leads the pack while the SLI solution is still CPU limited without AA/AF turned up. The ATI x850 XT leads the 6800 Ultra, and only increases its lead when we look at AA/AF numbers. But that's not to say that one or the other feels better when playing at this resolution.
