personal preference really.... but why not have both xD 1080p, ultra preset, sweet fx, pretty much always 100+FPS for my 120Hz monitor :D only time it really dips is if I'm standing right on the leveloution..... then it hit's like a *****!!!! but that's more the games fault and not setting changes will help that ( both myself on max and my mate on low had god awful FPS drop when standing in close prox to **** collapsing, damn, hotel, etc... but a bit further away and no probs really)

I use a mixture of settings not only so I can hold 125fps capped solid (except in leveloution) but also to get the clearest view - full ultra for instance darkens building interiors more (partly due to ambient occlusion) than other settings when looking into them from outside.
 
Nex, dont get a 3gb card, you'll be shooting yourself in the foot in the long run. If you not happy with the temps on that 290, send it back and wait it out for 6 months. 6GB 780s will drop in prce once the 880 arrives, and who knows, if the 880 come in at under £600 with 6gb on card, and a 512bit bus, then thats a definite purchase. You'll have way more options and possibilty a better buyers market than what you have now.

880 has been rumoured as 8GB but only 256bit bus...

Two 3GB 780s would drive his sexy new monitor for at least two years. BF4 maxed out at 2560x never goes above 2.2GB VRAM for me, so unless he's driving three of those LGs, I wouldn't wait for 6GB cards

It's going to be the 680 all over again - which as it turned out was a cracking card. Very cool and quiet and overclocked like a demon. Ended up having two in SLI and they ran BF3 @ 2560x1600 nicely :)
 
Ok, after quite a bit of a gaming session there, surprisingly my GPU didn't go past 85 degrees (with two monitors connected), guess the fan must just work a bit harder to keep it at that temp!

Think I am just going to keep this 290, can't really be assed with the faff of sending it back etc. :p

Hopefully 2x120mm fans at the top and a cooler running CPU will drop the GPU temp to 80 degrees @load......

You could also try undervolting the GPU. Getting better airflow/cable management will also help. Failing all of that you could reapply the heatsink although this will void warranty (something I've clearly had to do for all my builds).
 
I cannot get this to start any more. All I get is a slow motion loading screen and then the game crashes to desktop. I have re-installed but still the same ?

Any ideas ?
 
Take it it opens Battlelog and such?

Yeah Battlelog opens fine and it goes to load into a game but when BF4 opens it's all in slow motion then it crashes with a "Battlefield 4 has stopped responding" message.

Just tried different AMD drivers but still the same ?
 
How does this look kiwi:

I forgot to turn it of though, so played zavod and then lacang damn after :p

BTW, I have my frames limited via the user config:

gametime.maxvariablefps 70

Might try that!

Yeah, my cable management could be better, bit of a mess around the sata ports (got 5 drives, did have 6 but removed one yesterday). When I get new CPU and mobo, I'll try to do a better job.

Yup, no way I am doing that! :p :eek:

No idea, might be an Origin problem if it only gets that far.
 
I have now tried different drivers, Re-install of BF4, DX & Punkbuster.....

Still the same issue that when the game starts it all runs in super slow motion then crashes to desktop.

I tried using the EA online help but all it could offer me was a link to the online manual ?

It was working fine 2 days ago ??
 
Ok here we go kiwi, just zavod 48 this time
