I didn't know that I can check if I'm limited by my gpu by looking at r_stats, well now I know.
I have ATI Radeon HD 4850, 256 bit Memory size 1024 mb gddr3 core clock 625 mhz (can put it to 700mhz) memory clock 993 mhz (can boost it to 1200mhz)
I know nowadays it's obviously not the best card out there, but it serves me extremely well and can play any game without any problems. I just joined an empty server and ran around the map as a marine. I get ~ 30 - 40fps. ~12ms waiting for GPU
I have everything on low / turned off (except multicore rendering and texture streaming). Resolution 1776 x 1000, fullscreen windowed). So since I'm limited by my gpu, I just don't get how can people even be playing on medium resolutions etc.. . (because I don't consider my card to be a bad card - unless I'm wrong..) Or even how can anyone run the game on the "minimum required" cards to play the game.

The 4850 is a >4 year old mid-high class card. 4 years is a pretty normal "life expectancy" for a GPU. The reason why it still seems to hold up pretty well is probably that most games are developed for consoles (which have even worse hardware) first. I had the same card until recently and it did start to struggle with modern games, as I would expect.
I agree that the minimum specs are too low, though you also have to keep in mind this is meant as the target for release, not current performance.
Ok, so, if anyone from the officials steps by and knows anything about the problems in this thread, that would be awesome. Of course I know it's low prio, so I don't expect anything. Thanks!
