so i tried and followed to the letter your instructions and still had stuttering... thinking maybe because i had 1 monitor with hdmi and the other with dvi, i tried both alone, and unplugged external hdd.... still stutters.. have game on SSHD.. doesnt do it for any other game i own including metro last light... disabled raw mouse input, tried to turn down resolution and same effect...
not sure what to do now :(

OK, we just need to look elsewhere for the cause  For TESTING remove the extra monitor ONLY use your Primary monitor connected with DVI-D You said you "upgraded" What OS version are you using and did you reinstall it on the new build? Do you have any monitoring software like Precision installed? Just WHAT is showing on the "extra" monitor while BF3 is running? (be detailed and exact) -->Also please describe the exact make/models of each display and what cable is being used for each. -------------- g500 mouse Seagate external HDD 2TB logitech headset (wired) logitech media keyboard Please describe your HD setup completely, you also mentioned a SSD? Also the logitech drivers for those (3) devices can be a KNOWN problem ----------------- Lets see what you post back about OS, hard drives, monitor setup details and what is running on the "extra" monitor Once we find the problem, should be a easy fix

The OS is Windows 7 Ultimate on Corsair Force SSD and i did a fresh install onto the SSD.
I did have MSI afterburner installed and have now uninstalled it. Did not have precision installed.
While playing the extra monitor has nothing on it, just my windows desktop background and thats it.
My Monitors:
Seiki 39" SC391TS using HDMI cable
ACER 22" AL2216W using DVI-D cable
I have tried to run the game on each monitor seperately but the result is the same...
My HDD:
Seagate Barracuda 320GB
Seagate Barracuda 250GB
External Seagate 1TB HDD
I use the 39" as my main monitor for playing bf3
While i was testing last night for a 30 sec period when i logged into a 1/32 player server with only my main monitor plugged in i had no stutters, but when i exited the monitor turned off and said Unsupported mode.. when i finally got it to turn back on and logged back into server stutters came back... weird
Should i uninstall any drivers for my logitech devices?
Right now i have Logitech Gaming Software 8.46 installed and Logitech SetPoint 6.61 installed.
Thanks!!

Seiki 39" SC391TS This appears to be a 1920x1080 unit with a post processing unit.... highly problematic  QUOTE "with only my main monitor plugged in i had no stutters, but when i exited the monitor turned off and said Unsupported mode" This would point clearly to signal inputs on your monitor and detection issues. I tried to Google the technical on that monitor and there is NOTHING from the manufacturer This is the best I could find http://www.searsoutlet.com/39-1080p-LCD-HDTV-SC391TS/d/product_details.jsp?md=ct_md&pid=101020&mode=buyUsedOnly ---------------------------------------------------- There is a reason 30in computer monitors are $1200 and 30in TV's are $300 A computer monitor is -designed- to use a video card output, a TV is not ---------------------- Great attention will need to be paid to the NVCP/Display Properties Tab The setting MUST be at 60hz and 1920x1080 AND You MUST use the correct input location and Monitor ODS settings for the videocard input *given the information I found on that TV, this will be highly problematic and technical.

makes sense, i also removed citrix application for remote desktop and that helped, and exited the keyboard/mouse icons in my tray, lowered the resolution and seemed to help a bit... will look into getting a new monitor, maybe 3 for the nvidia vision... would getting another vid card and going sli help any?

How hold on there You only have a gtx 650 Ti Boost costing appox $160 Thats NOT a card for anything more than 1 monitor, preferably at 1680x1050 SLI is NOT going to help very much at all, and GTX 650's -cannot- run 3 way monitor surround If you are thinking about 3 way surround and BF3/BF4, then you should be thinking about a FULL upgrade. A new high end Intel CPU, MB, RAM and a -pair- of GTX 780's in SLI

Hey everyone, just started to go back to bf3 today. Once bf3 was loaded up it was a pretty terrible experience. With a mix of medium and hight settings on bf4 I can easily hold 100 fps constantly but with bf3 I cant to that on an empty server with all my settings on low. The gpu clock is constantly staying at 862 mhz when it should be boosting to 1202 mhz. Heres an image. This has all happened after I installed windows 8 for bf4:

Sorry for question in old topic but I need to ask
All Battlefield 3 DLC's are maps for Multi Player, no some some new level for Single Player Campaign?

If I'm not mistaken, they are Multi-Player only.
