The driver you want is 306.23 Yes, leave the NVCP at defaults Try the -exact- settings I posted (all of them as shown) and leave the FOV at the default of 70 Now test for stablity and framerates with the new settings, I think you will be quite surprised at the results

Extra CPU core speed will always help a game like BF3 But your really at almost at top performance on your 560Ti, so dont expect any large FPS gains.... It -will- help with the min framerates, just be sure to keep an eye on the CPU temps

Running something different "while" playing? Have you tried reinstalling the exact same audio driver you are running? Have you tried a repair install, and let Origin check your BF3 files?

Hi Maniac,
The current latest driver from Nvidia is still recommended for BF2 & BF3, any majors change in game setting or in NVCP ?
Thanks

Also, please post more detail on the "type" of internet connection you have (Cable, DSL, Wireless), and any routers/wireless sharing in your home. I will be back tonight around 9pm PST and will fully review and respond to your posting then bro *I got a guy on a ladder in the ceiling above me right now....

vinhus Hi, Recently I got the flickering( flashing scene) in infinity scene while playing BF3, but when I turn on vsync it's gone but frame drops around 50fps ( without vsync on it's average 150fps). Everything is on hight in game setting, latest drver 306.23. Any suggestions? Thanks Thats not much info to base a opinion on... Try clearing your Browser Cache and test. Might be a good idea to pull off the SLI connector and re-seat it as well... Can you please explain the "filckering" better, is it the whole frame of is it just parts of the background? For dual 680's in SLI and a 120hz monitor I recommend the NVCP 3DSettings be left at at defaults *(except for Single display performance mode) -->And then the following in-game settings using CUSTOM Mode Just a heads up, "whole" frame flickering that is reduced or fixed by using Vsync "could" be a sign of a failing monitor. If it starts happening again, dont use Vsync or make any changes, and run something like Heaven 3.0 or another game and see if it occurs

Just went through the setup guide for my current setup: 3930k i7 @4.0GHz 16gb ram EVGA GTX 580 3 Gb Running off SSD 1080p 24" I got far better results, good work! I did find I needed at least 2xmsaa when used with HBAO to avoid crawling of textures (chain link/ trees) in the distance. Vsync off helped with frame rates obviously but I hate tearing.. My real question is, I am upgrading to a GTX 680 4Gb classy today and will have a 2560x1440 display soon as well. Are there any tips for that high a res? And was there anything useful in the advanced section that you never finished? Great work btw maniacvvv

No real tips or suggestions, crank it up and enjoy Thanks, I have a updated Nvidia driver guide on the way and both a ARMA3 and BF4 guides planned

hey, maniac. noob here. i see you've been very helpful in suggesting settings for several people here. i was hoping you'd help a new comp builder out. i haven't built a rig since 2004 and at that time was helped by someone far more proficient than i. anyway, new rig specs... i7-3770k asus maximus v formula evga gtx 690 8 gb corsair vengance 1866 benq xl2420t (1920x1080 via dual link dvi to get 120hz) crucial 256 gb ssd 500 gb wd hdd corsiar h80 corsair hx750 win 7 64 bit everything is stock (not oc'd) now since i'm just finishing building and want to re-familiarize myself with the pc "ropes" before i mess it up. played a round of bf3 on pc for the first time last night. it's like a totally different game from console version! hoping you can help me optimize it with some nvcp and bf3 settings suggestions! thanks!

Leave the NVCP at defaults except to set "Single display performance mode" You want the latest official Nvidia driver--> 306.23 -Always- use a "Custom" "Clean" install use only the BF3 in-game video options panel to make changes Leave the FOV at the default of 70, Refresh rate at 120 and Vsync OFF With such a nice setup, I suggest the following in-game video settings *Remember, you must use the "CUSTOM" option listed at the top for "Graphics Quality" (dont use the Ultra or other presets) After making the changes (and saving them) you must completely close the game and then restart it for the changes to properly take effect Since your config is so powerful, you should try the above settings "first" -Then- Turn off the AA "post" and try it with the x4 MSAA "defferred". Pick the one you like the best, but I suggest -not- to use both at the same time.... You got some sweet hardware for BF3 ENJOY it bro

maniacvvv You want the latest official Nvidia driver--> 306.23 -Always- use a "Custom" "Clean" install also, could you elaborate on the above? i have the latest official nvidia driver (306.23) since i just set this thing up yesterday and went directly to the website to download it (did not use the cd included in the box). does that count as a "clean" install? though i don't believe it was "custom". not sure what you mean by that. thanks again for the help! told you i was a noob.

Weederpup maniacvvv You want the latest official Nvidia driver--> 306.23 -Always- use a "Custom" "Clean" install also, could you elaborate on the above? i have the latest official nvidia driver (306.23) since i just set this thing up yesterday and went directly to the website to download it (did not use the cd included in the box). does that count as a "clean" install? though i don't believe it was "custom". not sure what you mean by that. thanks again for the help! told you i was a noob. For what a Custom/clean install is, read my Nvidia GUIDE http://forums.evga.com/fb.ashx?m=1174372 Now you dont have a borked install, so you DO NOT need to do any of those steps listed in the guide. Just read up on what the Custom/Clean install means, and does Just next time you install a driver, use CUSTOM Mode and be SURE to put a Check Box in the "Perform a Clean Install" option. Thats all you need to do

hello I'm having some really weird stuff going on with my game. If you look at the images below you will see this very annoying haze glitch that randomly came about along with some other annoying things that make my in game visuals look way out of whack. here is the funny part, I was running an EVGA gtx 570 that I bought back in June that ran fine all summer. So when I noticed this a few weeks ago I figured my card had gone bad even though I hadn't OC'ed it or anything. I tried updating my drivers and re installing the game but still no luck. So I gave in and spent 300 bucks on a new 660ti 2GB. This is what has me lost..I put the card in and did a fresh OS install and 3 weeks and 320 bucks later still no luck. Im still getting the exact same graphical issues. I am running your NVCP settings and in game I run a mix of high and ultra with no ssao or Hbao and only high Post AA. When I turn up MSAA the haze gets worse and textures look even more odd looking. and lowering the settings doesn't help. Like I said before this I've run the game fine as long as I've had it. And its up to date with all DLCs. I'm currently on the latest nvidia drivers and the rest of my hardware is more then enough. AMD Phenom II x4 955 at 3.9 ghz 8GB DDR3 ASUS sabertooth 990FX mobo 700W psu 500GB caviar blue WD HDD Win 7 64bit CM 960 II advanced case running 5 fans any help would be greatly appreciated on getting this fixed. I'll give any needed info Thanks! EDIT*** I guess I cant post the links to the screenshots yet

EDIT*** I guess I cant post the links to the screenshots yet The DICE patch may have reset your in-game settings on you Go in and make sure it has NOT reverted to a "Preset" in the in-game "Graphics Quality" setting It should be set to "CUSTOM" and with that card the "Texture Quality" should be set to HIGH.
