On my old 560TI, I had everything on ultra except AA (which was off) and I never had slowdown. I was very pleased with how 1GB VRAM performed.
really? no stutter or texture streaming at all?
because my personal experience was that I had to turn textures to high from ultra as well as turning off AA to get smooth gameplay at 1080p with a 560ti
which is also what the nvidia guide to BF3 says
anyway, as this thread is primarily about bf3 on ultra with 4x aa...
Nope, no stutter. The only time I did see stutter was when I turned MSAA on.
Hard OCP and me disagree with you
Also on a GTX 570 1.2MB here. bf3.exe, right click > properties > Compatibility > Disable desktop composition (turns off aero mode when the game starts) freed up to 200MB of VRAM for me and then also if I close any open web browser once the game has launched it frees up a further 100MB VRAM.
I play at range of fps from 45-70+ at 1920x1080 ultra and 2xAA. Only significant dips I notice are in smoke, but only sometimes, not sure why.
I'd like 120 fps to match my monitor but I'm not willing to reduce visuals![]()
Me three.
TBH I think some people are just less sensitive to stutter and things like that.
I mean it's quite amazing how many people play games these days with vsync off. Me? ten seconds of that **** and it drives me insane.
Wait, what?![]()
Take a look around you. Look how many people put up with microstutter and all sorts of other issues.
Look how many people say they want 100FPS or so out of a game, when they are running a 60hz monitor. Then say they have vsync enabled and don't notice any tearing.
You'll probably find it's the same sort of person who can happily play games on a Xbox 360 and not care about them running at 30 FPS or the fact that they grind to a halt on graphically heavy games.
Some people truly don't notice it. That? or they just don't mind it.
For a lot of people, the input lag introduced by vsync is A LOT more of an issue than tearing.
Quite probably. Personally I wouldn't put up with either as they both ruin the experience.
If you read it all it will also tell you to disable vsync, lower texture quality, turn off triple buffering and basically do everything you need to in order to bring up the FPS.
Nice to know you read it all.
I take it both you guys had/have a 560ti OC?
