Yup.
The BETA was very CPU hungry (most ports are anyways), although it is my understanding that they worked on that for the retail version.
Most of the times I was getting between 30-40 FPS (on 32 player servers) @ 1600 x 900 no AA, AF at x8, with everything on High (high was not really high anyways). Very playable framerates IMO.
EDIT: Btw, I really did not see any performance improvements with the 3rd client (R3), the one that was supposed to work wonders for Dual Cores users. Did you?
I ordered it and played the Beta. It looks great, plays great, and was a lot of fun and am looking forward to playing the retail version.
My copy I ordered from EA Store has shipped so it should be here Tuesday.
Maybe a few FPS up on the high end, but not much if any improvement when there was lots of smoke and explosions. Going to wait and see how it goes with the retail, and if necessary have my eye on a nice little x4 925. Been wanting a quad for a while and this may just be the thing to push me to it.Btw, I really did not see any performance improvements with the 3rd client (R3), the one that was supposed to work wonders for Dual Cores users.

Sound effects are amazing, great game enjoying it at the moment.
I have been playing it since it was released. The SP mode is very short and you need to be into MP. I really like it especially the way the dynamics of the maps change as you destroy buildings. I am not one that sticks with a game long but this must be the longest I have played a game
