M17x - Battlefield 3 Discussion Thread

[SlickDude80]

What are the frame rates some of you are getting on BF3? It seems like mine are a bit low, hovering around 25-45fps. I have 11.9 CAP 4 and 11.9 drivers and I have half of my settings on Ultra and half of my settings on High. I am doing 2x AA and 1X MS I believe.

Thanks

Bartlett, you may want to try this and see if it helps you. I know its helped others complaining of low frame rates in BF3

[GUIDE] So you want to play Rage and BF3 but you don't want to update your AMD drivers

Mine are generally around 30FPS and I'll get these random drops to 4-7FPS for some reason. They can last anywhere from about 30 seconds to a minute.

Iv had everything on Ultra and had zero issues. The only thing I ended up turning down was Aniso its at 8x instead of 16x cause I just don't see a difference.

GPU is a 580m

What FPS are you getting?

At those settings on a 580m I was getting 25-40fps. That is playable for sure. But it stutters and isn't good for max accuracy, as the minimum frame rate will be <24 which will result in noticeable lag.

I noticed 0 stuttering and I'm extremely sensitive when it comes to that with shooters. I will log the FPS and let everyone know what I'm getting.

I just downloaded the 11.9 drivers...and I too am getting 25 - 40 fps on Ultra (depening on which map it is). Things are still playable @ 25 fps.

I'm hardwired onto the net.

clean installed 11.9 and cap 4, running GPU-Z while I play BF3, it shows GPU-1 getting high on 75-80. GPU-2 only on 30!!!!!!!!!

my gps is 5870m xfire, from the temputure, I dont think that xfire is really enabled, or xfire suck, sli is better!!?

check the screenshot, the software I used is RadeonPro, it can show all ati card status when you gaming. ignore the fps, it will drop to 30-40 fps when I switch to full screen, and on LOW SETTINGS!!!!! is it sad for a xfire user? it runs on xfire but only one card working hard for gaming.

I haven't been getting any stutters as far as I can see. Also multiplayer performs much better than single player for some reason. And just for kicks, my WEI:

CPU: 7.8
RAM: 7.9
GPU: 7.8
Aero: 7.8
Storage: 7.9

how did you pull off the 7.9 on RAM ? it's still 7.8 even with cas7 20,17GB/s
i got 7.8 across the board except 7.9 for SSD

BF3 give me (vsync on)
40-60 fps (heavy-OC) and 35-55 fps (mild-OC low temp)
no stutter at all with 8.92 (catalyst 11.12)

I'm actually getting 60FPS on Ultra setting without any AA enabled. Lowest I've ever seen on SP was 40. I tried multiplayer ONCE and i ended up getting the same FPS as SP. 50-60FPS and 40ish on heavy fights. On 11.9 with CAP4. Very happy with the performance!
