Little Sister maniacvvv Little Sister The manage 3D settings you adjusted and recommend, have you tested this to be the best performance ect. would it be fine to leave that way for all games ect. For 3-way SLI I would recommend the stock setting of "frames to render ahead" value of 3 Other than that, yes that is the preferred starting point for any game install. Since each game (and supported in-game/NVCP settings) is different, there could certainly be changes... But for BF3 those are the settings I recommend using with the current drivers and patches (so far) TY allmighty GPU guru...lol

roopepal Could someone interpret this perf overlay for me? I'm having this occasional little stutter and rubberbanding. i5 3570K @ 4.0GHz 670 FTW Welcome to the EVGA forums "Rubberbanding" is caused by playing on a poor quality/high ping server and/or by your own internet connection. This is NOT caused by your videocard and your framerates would suggest that it is not client hardware based. What type of internet connection do you have, and at what speed? Is it shared? If your seeing "stuttering" and "rubberbanding", its either your connection or the connection/quality of the server you are playing on. BF3 plays best on servers showing pings--> below 100 As for your Performance graph.... Without having any further information (other than videocard/CPU) I can only comment on what is shown. It appears completely normal, based on your description. I do notice that you appear to be using "preset" quality settings... No reason for that bro, using the killer video hardware you have *try the below You might even see higher FPS and certainly much better quality

No reason for that bro, using the killer video hardware you have *try the below You might even see higher FPS and certainly much better quality Here is another graph, showing those yellow spikes that seem to occur here and there. What could cause those? They are the little stutter I was talking about. What information would you need more? I've got sufficient memory and power. The rubberbanding does not show up in the graph (and is better now anyways for some reason), and my connection is high quality. You are using the Precision (or Afterburner) OSD (on-screen display) function You should shut down and then -uninstall- Precision, to test if the OSD is causing issues. Then information need to judge the screenshots posted is: Your complete hardware config information Screenshots of your running processes and system loading Precision performance graphs showing vidoecard data at the time of stutter Your internet type and speed Your distance from and ping to the server you are on The BF3 in-game performance graph is for rendering and CPU performance levels in the game engine, and should not be used for trouble shooting. You stated you are having "rubberbanding" and slight "stutters".... These are caused by connection issues (either on your end or most likley the server you are playing on), not your config or videocard.

Hey, I've recently been having some issues with running Battlefield 3. To be quite honest its kind of universal, a lot of my games aren't working, namely battlefield. It works perfectly for 30 seconds to about 2 minutes and within that time frame the game that I am playing will crash. Here is my operating system, if that helps. Please respond with what information I need to give you to get the help I need. i5-3550 8GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 RAM EVGA 660Ti graphics card Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H ATX LGA 1155 MOBO Thanks.

Well So your running a 32 bit version of Windows 7 that does NOT support more then 3.5gigs of RAM and You have not checked in your BIOS to see if your RAM is setup to the correct factory voltage and timings You situation will require more discovery and work than is really possible typing back and forth in a forum. Do you live in the U.S.? If so, I would be willing to work with you over the phone to get your system running better

I'll stop the massive quote block here. If need be, I'll go get a 64 bit operating system. I had the 32 bit lying around and figured I could use it for this build, but if it bottlenecks my computer I will completely buy and install a new operating system. Will I lose much if I install a new operating system? I happen to live in Canada, although I would be fine with doing this over skype if possible.

Installing the 64bit version will require a reformat and loss of -everything- on the primary drive. I believe we should troubleshoot and find the primary fixes, then worry about the OS upgrade later... Please check your PM's

I've been trying to figure something out recently on some maps, specifically Strike At Karkand, When i initially load in my FPS drops a ton and my CPU usage is all over the place, it eventually becomes stable and i can play fine, but what would cause that? It's almost like its loading all the textures etc really slow. I've only noticed this problem around the halfway mark on the map, if i play right at the start of the map it doesn't happen. I7 3770k @ 4.6GHz 16GB Corsair Dominator 1333 9-9-9-24 1.6 Asus Sabertooth Z77 2way SLI EVGA GTX670 2GB 120GB Mushkin SSD Windows 7 64Bit

I see you have GTX 670 (2gb) SLI, what is your monitor setup and game screen resolution? What in-game BF3 settings are you using? Strike is a B2K map, this means that as gameplay continues the texture and CPU loading increases due to "destruction"

In regards to the ram queries if anyone has over 4GB ram and you are running a 32 bit operating system it will restrict you as far as how much total ram you can use and also limit you to 2GB in ram in a given CPU thread. 64bit operating systems overcome this limitation.

My settings for ingame BF3 are below, as far as NVCP it's all on default other then i changed power from adaptive to max performance. I also just started noticing a slight stutter at the end of a Metro map on the Russian Cap side behind A flag. Wasn't until the end of the map, i checked my ram usage at that point and it was almost at 2GB. I was watching the in game performance graph noticing the cpu sutter, it would spike up in 1 vertical line, it wasn't all crazy. I don't use a User.cfg in my BF3 folder so none of that has been changed. and It's a 100% complete fresh reinstall of Windows 7 64 + all updates as of 10pm pst yesterday. My bios (unless its somehow lying to me), has all the power saving/throttle features disabled, But i have noticed once in awhile when i change my settings in my bios, they don't stick when i load windows, they're changed in my bios if i go back in and look. It's very odd , My SSD is working as it should i've benched it multiple times and its writing and reading at the speed it should. I'm starting to think its a ram related issue. My exact model and brand of ram is below.. http://www.corsair.com/en...cmp16gx3m4a1333c9.html Latencymon is showing some odd result's but i'm not sure if that could contribute to the CPU stutter. I only have 3 USB device's plugged in. My Logitech G35 headset is plugged into the native Intel USB 3.0 port. and my Razer mouse and keyboard (Mouse at 500polling), is plugged into my USB 2.0 ports on the back, They're split up though, not on the same stack. If it makes it easier for you i can get teamviewer and you can remote desktop my computer and take a look at stuff

Something is not right Please describe your monitor setup are you running the Asus ROG desktop theme? that would explain the Vram as it takes like 285mb... What browser are you using to launch? no open "tabs" right? What Nvidia driver are you using? I would certainly change some of the in game settings for testing First off, turn OFF "colorblind" support Next try the settings below (as shown) for testing

I'm not hitting 2gb of vram, 2gb of system ram. I'll monitor the vram this run though after i change the settings. I'm not using asus rog desktop theme, just a BF3 background with windows aero enabled. Browser is google chrome, completely updated with adobe flash caches cleared out. only tab open is the battlelog. Driver's im using are the 310.54, they give the smoothest experience i've had since i got 670's. I get much worse performance with anything else

Alright, after changing those setting's that you showed above. I joined in on a 64 metro, which was keeping the RU side in their spawn. Played for about 15 mins or so and didn't see any stutter at all, other than when i checked my score, for some reason whenever i pop that menu up i get one. Sometimes i don't get one it's odd lol. This is what my EVGA Precision chart looked like after the round ended. (And no i do not use the overlay or any of that garbage, just the fan profile). I did just notice in that chart, that my boost clocks kicked in, and stayed on the entire time i played there was no flux. Could having the boost flux on and off contribute to a stutter?

Looks like it running perfectly now Continue to test and report back

Still doing some testing but it seems like just turning off MSAA and Occlusion fixed the problem, which is really odd. Because my system should destroy games on the market right now. When i do use MSAA, i have only ever used x2.. x4 can cap out the VRAM incredibly fast on newer maps or big maps like Karkand.

+++short version: I would like to know if i can turn on HBAO and whether my system is over- or underwhelmed with maniacvvv 's setting+++ hello guys, first of all thank you to maniacvvv for the great guide! so I did everything as maniacvvv suggested for the graphics (6x high, AD off, AP high, motion blur off, 16x AF, ambient occlusion off; Hi-Fi and enhanced Stereo; all other settings default), I play with 1920x1080. and my question now is whether these settings are ok for my system or too high or too low. I ask because I still sometimes have the impression that it’s a bit laggy (killfeed delay, getting shot although I’m already around the corner, other guys kill me with one or two shots with m416s, a little jittery when I turn fast… stuff like that…) I just want to be certain that it is not the hardware but slow servers / slow internet (when I am in games I almost always have pings in the 20s-30s) anyway, my system: MSI Z77A-G43 Intel Core i5-3570 3,4GHz EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti, 2048MB DDR5 2x G.Skill DIMM 8 GB DDR3-1333 Kit ADATA SSD 120 GB Asus VS248H 24’’ 1920x1080 Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless 7.1 Gaming Headset Logitech Gaming Mouse Software: Windows 7 64bit Corsair Software for the headset Logitech software for the mouse Microsoft Security Essentials (Antivir) 1. so I would say my system is strong enough for the settings maniacvvv suggests, right? 2. also do you think I can enable HBAO? 3. should I run some FPS-tests and come back to you? (the problem is I read that FPS can be high but still the performance can be mediocre..) 4. or should I do the test with render.perfoverlayvisible 1? thank you guys!!

No need to run such low settings with that hardware bro! Try these you -can- turn HBAO on, but try ALL of the below first. That way you will be better able to judge the performance loss from having it on. *Game should look much better and run very well indeed

awesome, thank you for the quick reply maniacvvv! I've tried the settings yesterday and it felt good :) i had some issues (enemies skipping, killfeed-delay, having to empty a magazine on players until they drop) on servers with a 19 ping on the battleblog and me having a 20 ping. i still think this is not due to my hardware but some connection issues... i'll test it with HBAO activated this weekend and keep you guys updated. I'll also try out the perfoverlayvisible-command and stress-test my system on a big 64 player map so i can rule out hardware-performance.

I have two PNY 580's in sli. The lowest frame rates that I get in bf3 range from mid 40's to low 50's(sometimes low 40's in back to karkand maps). Does this sound about right, or should my frame rate not be dropping below 60 at all? By the way, I'm on a 120hz monitor.
