Yeah Caspian is a good map, not played it in a while, i might get back into air maps, i just get really annoyed with air rape, i like to be out and about running after flags, i'm an infantry sort of guy and air maps are not infantry friendly.
Have you not played Close Quarters? Conquest domination and Gun Game make the game for me!

And that is wrong. My 6970 was able of 35-45FPS on ultra, but it was not smooth at all. In fact it was that bad that it left the impression of 20FPS or so (maybe even worse), at time it felt totally unplayable. That is NOT ok as it is NOT ok for the HBAO to add lag (even on 7950@1170/1600MHz with a steady locked 59FPS and rock solid frame time). It's just bad cod.
That is my point. I had high settings on a 560TI and upgraded to a 680. The game was very smooth with ultra settings. I could have stuck with the lower settings and carried on with a 560TI.
Am I missing something or is it still not smooth with a 7950?
Done close quaters (was great) but just so bored. I can't rank any more, so I guess this is why I have lost interest. Once I feel I have completed a game, I find it hard to carry on playing.
Got to be honest, i bough a brand new Sapphire 6950 @ the bargain price of £150 for BF3, it still ran like a bag of nails, it just didn't have the grunt at all.
You know how long i had that GPU, 20 days. It ended up on FleaBay with the 7870 on its way to me.
Never looked back.

It is smooth and "laggless" if I lock down the fps via MSI Aft. and use SSAO instead of HBAO. But that is not the point I'm trying to make here. At that frame rate the game should have been a much better experience even on the 6970. Far Cry 3 and a little bit, Hitman Absolution, are also doing that laggy/stuttery thing on the 7950 at around 30-35FPS (heck, FC 3 stutters even under 60fps).
Anyway, water under the bridge. Lag and and a tiny bit of stutter was in Crysis 2, a scene near the water after Gould's lab gets blown to pieces and I enter some sort of a building.
The fact that you have the FPS right, the frame time right, still doesn't guarantee a perfect experience and it's down to the game and drivers. Some devs are just lazy or don't want to put much effort into the final product. As long as I can turn off some minimalistic features in terms of IQ, but high resources hog, all it's good.
My biggest problem with BF however, stands in it's God awful collision detection, physics and netcode. But I'll live with it, at least until ArmA 3 comes around.
I believe you. Lucky me I game only at 1680x1050, 'cause there are games out there that even a mighty clocked 7950 can't handle them right!

If your talking about Arma2 look no further than your CPU, even if it is an i7 3770K or whatever.
That game has some serous codding issues.
I would say something is wrong with your setup Calin. Many other 7950 users are very happy with "Ultra settings" unless they are telling porkies of course.
Now Far Cry 3, I agree. I had settings to medium and was sitting 80+ fps with maybe dips to 70 and it stutters... Drivers? I doubt it because others are playing with it smooth (even though one guy said the game isn't broken. You just need to turn settings from DX11 to DX9 to make it play smooth
)
In my triple monitors, it is a bad game. Not unplayable but just not as smooth as all my other games. I have not tried it on one screen (I can't stand single screen gaming) but some say it is fine and others say it is broken.

I get whatever 8% less of average FPS of 90ish is on my 7950 (on phone don't have benchmarks to hand to verify).
Feels just as smooth as the 680. In fact I'd say it's identical.
Seriously though if you're sensitive to these little bits of lag and stuttering get a 120 Hz monitor and turn Vsync off. Experience improved tremendously.

One amongst others. You can hit 99% usage on the GPU easily though, if you want that and leave the CPU outside of the matter. Others are TW 2 with US, Hitman Abs. with 8xAA, FC 3 with any kind of AA, MSAA or the one for vegetation (forgot his name now) above standard, Sleeping Dogs with Extreme AA, IL 2 CoD at times, Crysis and Crysis 2 doesn't always stay above 60FPS with everything turned on etc.

SSAO feels much more responsive than HBAO and is more obvious in some maps than in others (with only 2xAA is even better). It's fine and it should be fine for most players out there; me, it's just a special case in which I tend for perfection over the course of time or hours invested in the game, more so for online.
I think the problem with FC 3 lays down to how the engine handles DX10/DX11. It's the same Dunia which gave a fine example of stutter in DX10 mode for FC 2, but ran perfect in DX9.
Well, as stated above, there are some problems with keeping 60FPS steadily, nevermind 120.
It wasn't a problem with FPS or refresh rate, but rather how well the game felt for the eye and how well the game "moved"/ responded to my commands under different settings. I still have a second 1680x1050 monitor around here; I won't move up in resolution, to expensive. 
I would say that Far Cry 3 suffers from tearing more than other games I have played.
When it drops below 60fps you can really notice it, even if it's only to 50.
But luckily at 2560x1440 my 680sli setup eats it up after the new drivers were released with sli profile.

Common misconception. You don't need to run at the same FPS as the refresh rate. In fact the difference between 120 FPS and say 80-90 is relatively speaking pretty small.
Sounds like you're sensitive to the input lag that Vsync causes which was why I suggested trying a 120 Hz monitor and then you can turn Vsync off.
