Could someone interpret this perf overlay for me? I'm having this occasional little stutter and rubberbanding.

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

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.

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.

Please post what Nvidia driver you are using
Have you made -any- changes in the NVCP (Nvidia control panel) under 3DSettings?
What program do you use to monitor and control your videocard. Precision?

What in-game video settings are you using? are you using a "preset"?

Any overclocks on the CPU, RAM or Videocard?

Driver: 306.97 (I've installed it exactly as you show in your driver installation guide)
Haven't made a single change in the NVCP
MSI Afterburner, although I've barely done anything with it thus far.
I use the Ultra preset, I feel my computer is statistically sound for running it. I've tried it on minimal but the problem still persists.
I've done no overclocks of my own accord. Just the factory "overclock" on my Ti.

This would lead one to think that you have a underlying config problem.
What power supply (make/model/wattage) are you using and how old is it.
What model number of GSkill sticks are you using and is the BIOS setup to factory timings and voltage?
Did you install the OS? What OS are you using and how old is the install?
Did you install your motherboard drivers or did you let windows do it?

When you installed your Nvidia drivers, did you do a "custom" "clean" install?
You have MIS Afterburner installed, what exact version number are you using? 

PSU: NZXT HALE82 Series 80Plus Bronze, 650W. 2 months old.
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws Sniper Series DDR3 1600MHZ LGA1155/1156
I'm not sure how to check if the bios is  "setup to factory timings and voltage"
I installed the OS, Windows 7 32 Bit, installed it 2 months ago. 
I installed the motherboard drivers myself.
I did a custom clean install, I followed your instructions to the finest details.
I'm running afterburner Version 2.2.3.0

Thanks again for the continued support.

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.

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.

+++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!!
