I tried Battlefield 3 for the PC again last night. This time, however, I decided to update my display drivers for my ATI Radeon HD 59XX series. It was a simple matter of going to their website [1] and grabbing the latest catalyst software. All this happened after a friend gave me several suggestions on what to do and me replying, "Hey now! I know how to run my computer!".
Well, apparently I don't. I've known about updating my drivers as I've done it several times in the past. However, in this particular instance, I did not bother since every other game I've played ran perfectly at its highest respective settings which include Skyrim, Crysis, Black Ops 1, and Black Ops 2.
So my box isn't as antiquated as I thought yesterday. Battlefield 3 is playable and it's enjoyable. Now, if EA could only do something about that dreadful origin service. It's mega-extra-bad*!
