Battlefield 3 Clubhouse

[Darkleoco]

Okay, so guy's heres the deal.

This is my video on Ultra Settings everything. I avg about 90 FPS because its inside and not a lot of open space. However, my FPS drops down to 35-40 and 60 sometimes because I think the drivers are a little bit iffy or the BF3 needs to have another hotfix for crossfire.

Heres the video:

Lastly my questions are the following:

- If you have 5xxx or 6xxx crossfire, does your GPUs have lag issues or FPS droppages? It's not scaling that good for me in some maps

- Are your maps time loading a little bit longer than usual?

I was having some FPS drops but I think I need to install the latest preview drivers then check it out.

I have the latest patches and betas, what they need is a new hotfix for crossfire. The 11.9 CAP3 works a little better but not exactly where it needs to be :shadedsh:

 

[Darkleoco]

Hopefully the hotfix will come soon and we can enjoy the game even more.

plz add me!

Dam'it 3 days till the BF3 is in the post to me, and I am still wanting to get my 2 last weapon unlocks for BF2..... maybe I am giving too much away of my skill level. LOL

Can't wait

Played a couple hours this morning 12:15am to a little after 2am. I spent a good amount of time just trying to save my setting changes. The game locks up almost every time I click 'yes' to save.

Anyways once I got all my settings changed I loaded up and played several matches, conquest, and the game runs so super good.

I'm playing 1920x1080 ultra everything, 4xAA, 16xAF all options enabled and my FPS ranged from 73 to 160+ though mostly i'm in the 85-100 range. I'm running the 11.10 cats.

I couldn't be happier.

Oh yeah I could...is there a way to change game options while not IN the game? Right now it seems I have to be in a match if I want to make any changes to controls, audio, video etc... kinda lame.

what kind of GPU you are running?

 

[WhiteNoise]

what kind of GPU you are running?

It's in my specs under my avatar but I'm running two 6970 2gb cards in CF

Nope, there is no main menu for the game since it uses battlelog.

yea...i could use an upgrade to 6950 and flash it to 6970

 

[Chewers]

for god sake, can they do something correct? I cant get it on full-screen. Doesn't matter which version of drivers installed i get error:

And with latest 285.62 my pc crashes constantly (blank screen which is caused by kernel crash - only this time nvidia can recover it)

#1 Overclock Moar

#2 sell said 5770 and grab a GTX570/580

#3 play BF3

#4 Win

I don't see the point in spend $340 for a GTX 570, or over $400 for a 580, when a 6950 2GB card plays the game on Ultra just fine and is only $260.

I have noticed there is alot of glitches/errors for Nvidia card owners for this game.

 

[alexsubri]

Yea, I feel sorry for the nVidia users

 

[Chewers]

thinking to change camp to RED if they wont improve anything within one hour (HD5850 awaiting in shelf

 

[Volkszorn88]

Anyone getting micro stutters with crossfire enabled? And also which are the best drivers atm for AMD users?

 

[brandonwh64]

Alex, I think your huge frame drop is a Vram issue. 1GB on these 5850s cannot take all ultra with mixed AA/AF even in crossfire it only uses 1GB

The 6950/70 2gb cards have a much higher advantage. I would like to see how a 5850 2gb does (they were made but don't know anyone that purchased one since the price was much higher)

A good clocking 5850 can OC and touch a 560TI in alot of games, Its not the fastest card out there but it isnt a slouch either

Its only one i have at home from AMD camp. Im so pissed about NVidia and BF3

I have a 5850 Crossfire, BIOS flashed with a XFX XXX 5870 @ 900/1250 and I adjusted the motherboards vrm

 

[brandonwh64]

What I mean about the Vram is that the 5850 only has 1gb and the 6950/70's have 2GB the extra Vram helps out ALOT in large textured areas like you mentioned. thats why your FPS tanks when going into large areas

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

GPU-Z shows me using like 1900MB+ Dedicated and like 450 Dynamic so idk wtf to think. Its not tanking and never recovering like the beta did...

What are the other best tank and vehicle map(s) besides Caspian?

I played one were your in a bazzar that had tanks and infantry which was very nice!

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Cool. Inf has never been my strongest point especially on a game I'm still getting used to not to mention my kinda wonky keys (moved them all one to the right for now so I don't need Q for anything...though commorose moves to the key I rebind tho spotting does not grr). So I need to stick to tanks and AA and stuff for now mainly I think.

Hey can anyone think of a reason why I sohuld not use my main side mouse button for both Enter/Exit and Interact? Isn't Interact primarily for Rush e.g. MCOMS? Though I ask cause I could be forgetting another use/need.

 

[brandonwh64]

Honestly its mostly user dependent. I leave almost everything as is except the sensitivity of the mouse and my knife is one of my side mouse buttons.

 

[CDdude55]

Certainly doesn't take 2x GTX 580's to max out at 1080p as mentioned in the past, peaks at about 50 FPS with a single 6970 and stays mostly in the 40's FPS range unless things start blowing up in your face. For a solid 60 frames and higher (not sure why anyone would want to go higher then 60 though) then you probably have to move into GTX 580/SLI territory.

Haven't checked the memory usage on my card in game, but one advantage the AMD cards could have is the extra memory, not sure if BF3 is very VRAM heavy though.

Anyways, i'm really enjoying Damvand Peak, Grand Bazzr and Operation Firestorm.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah just trying to make sure something about that particular overlapping combo isn;t going to screw me up in some situation. I can't imagine it would but finding out the hard way is the worst.
