If you pre-ordered Digital Deluxe edition yes. Not sure about the original edition.Is the preload option for those who preordered the game? I'm not getting that option.

The card will go on sale in 2 weeks I think. Pre-order the card and you get BF4 for free.
The earliest benchmarks show this card to outperform the Titan. And it beats the GTX 780 by a fair margin. And let's not forget the 290X is "only" $600. Once newer drivers start rolling out, I'm sure this card will be the card to have unless nVidia drops the price on the GTX 780.

An hour ahead of you in Australia. I should be playing before 7pm.

Well then, I guess I can say that tomorrow when I am playing the beta, just one of my single 780's will blow away any 290X that's currently available. WOOOOT! Two weeks of glory, and I'll take it. In other news, can't wait to see what the beta has to offer. Pretty excited about this title, should be fun.

Dirty Bomb isn't even called that any more, I can't remember what the name is now (it's super generic) but they changed it a while ago. But thanks for reminding me that driver updates are a thing, I haven't done that for quite some time now.
I've got the beta preloaded (finally) but tomorrow is also the GTA Online launch which I think I'm more excited about... But then I went to the effort of fighting Origin to preload, so I will try to get at least one game in on BF4 tomorrow.

So the beta comes out tomorrow? Will I get an email with the code or something? Since I have premium in BF3 and also should get one for preordering Medal of Honor Warfighter...
Also, I've decided to wait until PS4 comes out to get this. I'm just gonna get the PS4/BF4 bundle, I can't justify purchasing two copies of the game just to play it a month earlier.

Origin seems to be crap as usual.
Currently downloading to pre-load and I've had to re-start the download twice so far and I'm at 68%.
Come to think of it that's pretty good going for Origin.
Edit:Make that three times and 74%. Four times and 81%
There is an upgrade offer if you buy on the PS3.
Still seems a bit cheeky to double dip albeit for a much smaller amount second time around. The ability to roll your stats over is good though.

I've just had a quick go, I forgot to update my driver (!) and I was getting an absolutely awful frame rate on high settings at 1680x1050 with my 680 and i5 2500K. I assume the driver will fix that, but I don't have time to test it as I should be leaving for college in three minutes. So far I've only had a quick blast in the Chinese IFV and M1 Abrams, not enough to really make any kind of purchase decision, but I look forward to playing some more later on.

Loaded up my PC game and had to update drivers which crashed and made my screen look like Windows 95. Finally updated that and now am waiting to get into one of only 4 servers. Really? 4 servers? Doesn't look like you can choose location on the beta server browser either.

I've got tons of servers to choose from. Could be a localization thing, don't know.
Feels really good so far, don't know if I like some of the little tweaks here and there though, but I can get over most of them. The sniper tracer smoke... thingy, is a bit off imo though, they should tone that down. The air burst GL is brilliant though, what a gadget.
Guns somehow feels more solid, creeping even closer in tactical feel to a style in line with Counter-Strike. Feels a bit more visceral, I love it.
Haven't driven much of anything yet though, I'll have to check that out tomorrow.

I'm having problems. Waited forever to get into a game and when it fired up I got a message saying my drivers weren't up to date. !?
Then when I get in the game after waiting 20 minutes it is unplayable due to being ridiculously slow or terribly leggy.

Did you update your drivers via Windows Update?

Ah, okay, try and find out what Windows updated If you go in to control panel and then windows update, you should be able to click on something like, "recently installed updates".
Windows Update is known to not be the best at updating the very latest drivers, however, as others have said, this is a beta.

Got a question for anyone playing on PS3, is it true that they changed the control scheme from classic BF button layout to the one used in COD? If they did, is it possible to change it back? (will download beta after work,but it is big thing for me since I really didn't like COD layout)
