Star Wars Battlefront 3 Open Beta

[eagl]

I'm also running windows 7 pro 64 bit.  Could it be that they don't have 260 GTX drivers for win7?

I just ran NVidia experience and it correctly identifies my video card as a GeForce GTX 260, shows a circle with slash through it for not compatible for games optimization, and has an error "sorry, GeForce experience cannot optimize games on this PC".

My CPU (intel Q9550 quad core), 8GB ram, and OS are all listed as supported.

When I go to the drivers tab, it says "Your GeForce driver is up to date", with 341.81 version installed.  Checking further, it says game optimizations are available only for GeForce 400 series GPU or higher.  Even clicking on "beta" driver notifications doesn't get me any driver options past 341.81.

Was worth a shot, but you're right. Your card is just too outdated.

I tried to try it but apparently an NVidia GTX 260 is too old and it won't even run.  Game complains that I don't have new enough drivers, newest nvidia drivers won't install, and NVidia "legacy" drivers aren't new enough.

GTX 260 is ancient.  I gave mine away for free to someone two-three years ago.  This post is tantamount to someone commenting in a thread about a game written only for a PS4 that it doesn't run on a PS3 (or PS2).  Expectations are set all wrong.

Really not impressed with the game play.

Seems to me that the gameplay is not supposed to be impressive, DICE has rather gone for a cinematic experience.

If you have 30 minutes I recommend you look up Bluedrake42's "Total Rant" about Star Wars: Battlefront on utub. Watch out for language though.

Crazy how fast the vid cards today are, but... GTX 260 runs AH just fine, ran portal and portal 2, runs civilization...  Yea any game that runs looks like it was made 10 years ago, and some won't run at all.  But this game is the first new game I've even tried to run in the last year and a half and it is the first one that has outright refused to run.

So I've got a bunch of games that do run fine and I still don't have time to play those either.  And cash is a problem right now so the computer refresh I've been planning for 4 years will probably get put off another year or three.

I had a lot of fun with it.  I will be buying it when it comes out. 
I consider it light entertainment.  I think it will provide a good amount of online sillyness.
And it's great eye candy.

Yeah bummer.  It was fun.  I took a Fri off and played it for 3 straight days.  DON'T JUDGE ME!

But, it'll be released in less than a month.
