Hi guys, 
Quick question ? for gaming , using the DVI port or display port on monitor which one is better ??? 

Thanks ! 

If possible the Display port -without- adapters is preferred
DVI-D (dual link) is next best

My new monitor is  LG IPS 29" 21:9 instead of 19:0 and has display port ( Res 2560x1080).I bought the Monster display port cable it cost me 100 bucks ( display port to display port cable ) but I don't see any different when used DVI-D . am I wrong some where ???
Thanks

OMG!

$100 for a displayport cable!  RETURN IT
A high quality DP cable is $15

You should have posted your monitor specs
That 21:9 IPS panel has a very slow response time. A DVI-D or Display port cable will make no difference.
Such "wide format" displays LOOK great, but this first generation has serious issues and they are not well suited for gaming

Hi guys, I am having performance issues with Battlefield 3.

After about 1 to 2 days of having computer powered on , and I start playing battlefield 3 my FPS will be at 30 FPS, max 45.

I don't have any On Screen Monitors or It doesn't matter if I have Precision X open or not, it will still be hovering around that.

If I restart my PC, everything goes back to normal.

Under Nvidia Control Panel doesn't matter if I change the Power management option to "Maximum Performance" or leave it at "Adaptive"

I also did a clean install of drivers and currently using 314.07

My computer specs are:

EVGA GTX 670 FTW
SSD 120GB M4 Crucial
2TB Hard Drive 7200RPM
Asrock Extreme4 Z77
i5 3570k OC @ 4.2
8GB of RAM
750w PSU

Not sure if the monitor makes any difference but it is a 120hz monitor.

Instead of starting another BF3 issue thread I figured this was the option. I have read this guide before and just read it again the last couple of days. I have been dealing with crashes and lock ups for a long time. For about 2 months I experienced no issue at all and for what ever reason I been having lots of issues. I am using the latest 314.07 drivers with a fresh install. This all seemed to start when I swithced to afterburner about a week ago. I did still experiacne an occastional crash BF3 stop working error. I did use the keyboard display not the OSD. So I unistalled afterburner and did select not to not save any profiles and restarted my computer. So I am not using any program PrecisionX or Afterburner and my computer locks up and have to reboot or I get a message saying

"DirectX funtion :GetDeviceRemoveReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_HUNG: Device hung due to badly formed commands...GPU: "NVIDA GeForce GTX 580", Driver:31407"

What gets me sometimes is when my computer locks up and I go into bios I get a overclocking failure, which is weird because I run prime 95 for hours with no issue and my max temp after a few hours is 61C. This failure happened even when I lowered my overclock to 4.0. Sometimes I can play for 30min and sometimes it locks up right away. The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling windows, which I really don't want to do because I have to redownload all my BF3 content, but I really don't think it's the problem. I play all other games with no issues, Farcry 3, Metro 2033, Tomb Raider, Max Payne 3, Bioshock Infinite and others. It seems to run better with SLI disabled, but still crashes and locks up, just not as often. I was thinking it was my CPU, but I run prime 95 and futuremark 11 with no issues.  Also this is with no overclocking on my cards. I have also tried increasing the voltage up to 1050 and still crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an odd issue.  This happens in several maps, but most often, the big "desert" map.  

I'll be running, and for a brief second, it'll appear as if I'm running in place, and then it'll go back to normal.  I've tried many different settings - all told, my framerate is great, and all the diagnostics I try don't actually capture spikes or even differences in frame rate when this happens.  I haven't had issues with BF3 before, but in the past month or so this one issue happens.  I don't have this issue in other games..

The NVidia drivers are the biggest change I can think of.  In trying to diagnose the issue today, I've updated mobo and 670 BIOS.  No changes good or bad.  I've also tried a lower NVidia driver (but now I am switching back to 314.22.  Also drivers didn't change symptoms.  I tried playing on a couple different servers, same issue.

I'm running 2x 670s on 3 1080p monitors with an i7 3770.  I have not tried running on just one to see if that makes a difference.

I'm running High textures, High FXAA, no AO, no msaa, ultra for the rest (maniac's set up as far as I can tell).  I've tried a great many different settings, none seem to impact this particular issue.

Also, as a side question unrelated, what's the recommended FOV in Surround?

Hi,

So I have been trough all the the topic in order to found a solution to the micro stuttering that i am experiencing in BF 3.
For now the only solution that works for me is :
-Fix fps/frame limiter at 59 in BF3 console or via AFTERBURNER
-Enable VSYNC in-game)

With those setting gameplay is smooth, if I disable vsync gameplay is not smooth at all and when I quickly move the mouse
it's like it skip frame or micro stop.
I would like to play witout vsync (I don't mind about tearing).
I also have notice that when I increase the setting (all ultra & no msaa) stutters are bigger (without vsync).
If i play on normal setting for example with no vsync, I don't have stutters (weird).
I know that this kind of GPU is made to be played at high setting and doesn't like low setting.
My rig is :
interl core i7-3770K
Asus P8Z77-V
GTX TITAN
2x8 GO DDR 3 1866 Mhz
Windows 8
driver 314.22
mouse : logitech g400// / LGS driver
monitor plug & play Eizo FS2333 / 60 hz

I am also experiencing stutters at High/ultra setting in far cry 3 and Bisochock but with frame limiter 59 with vsync seems to avoid the problem too.
Am I doing something wrong ?
I don't understant that such a high end GPU perform this way in-game (too powerfull ?)
Because for now I am not that much impressed with the titan as my older rig perform better in BF3 with a 660 an driver 306.97.

Thank's inadvance for your reply 

Welcome to the EVGA forums

Something is not right.
First, remove the frame limiter settings -completely- and then disable Vsync. OK
Next in the NVCP--> hit the RESTORE button and then APPLY  OK

Now MAX all settings in the BF3 in-game panel -except- for "Antialiasing Post" (leave that OFF)  OK
Save the changes and then EXIT the game, close Battlelog and Close Origin and then RIGHT CliCK and close ORIGIN from the right hand task bar. OK
*(this will correctly Sync your new settings, so that the next time you start up Origin your changes will be correctly applied)

Now it will be time to trouble shoot...
I would start with your mouse settings (only in the driver panel, NOT the Windows mouse panel) and crank up the DPI as high as it will go and then drop sensitivity to taste.
 
Windows panel set to default
For now I only Have the mouse and the keyboard plugged into the pc
When I go to device driver, mouse it says :
-logitech g400 mouse (location : USB device)
-HID mouse (location : on logitech gaming mouse)
But only one mouse is plugged

Next up go to MSConfig and make -sure- your NOT loading the Intel iGPU drivers -and- anything else thats unneeded.
Sorry but I didn' find iGPU under ms config (windows 8) but under device drivers GPU is 314.22

You should "review" what USB connected devices are attached to you computer
For testing, consider unplugging -every single last thing- except for the mouse and keyboard

Also you did NOT post what -exact- type of internet connection you have available and its speeds.
15 / 1 / 35 ping
Nor what the normal pings are to the servers you test gameplay in are....
between 20 and 50 ping servers

Lets see what happens when you correctly change and sync the in-game settings

Are you using the latest Afterburner? did you or did you NOT install the RTSS software addon?
Yes it's the last one, frame limiter was enabale via RTSS (bf3.exe tools/wrench frame limiter 59)

Do you have the Asus AI Suite software installed?
No
Sorry to go in so many directions, but there is alot that could be going on

*Remember for BF3 "testing" use -empty- large map servers with low ping FIRST--> then try populated servers
I like to use Caspian Border map 64, Gulf of Oman 64 and Kiasar Railroad 64 for my settings and driver testing

Thank's for your quick reply,
Can it be a mouse problem?
I wil try to test the mouse:
"Close everything to the desktop, then open TaskManger/Processes tab
Now look at the bottom for the CPU use percentage number (it will move around a bit) and note the highest number you see"
