How does the 570GTX compare to a HD7850? I have a similar setup except my processor is at stock and the HD7850 instead of the 570GTX. I plan on overclocking my CPU soon and expect better results that what I have atm.
Currently have everything on High + 2xAA , post processing off, my FPS goes between 40-60 and then if the server is suffering 20-single figures.
i5 3570k (stock), 8gb ddr3, gainward phantom 570 using latest whql drivers.
I get around 50fps +/- 5. Usually.
In nvidia panel i put everything back to default just to be sure nothing i had before which was tweaked affected fps too much.
Ingame settings are:
visibility around 2500 or so
object 1800 or 2000 ish (cant tell when playing what this effects as turning it right down helps fps a little and barely any diff to maxed values imo when playing but you can see the difference when you at main menu and see the island from overhead but playing normally i couldnt tell the diff unless its for objects far away for when using scope this is helpful for.
shadows around 100
1080p
vsync disabled
aa off
ppaa fxaa high
quality normal (fps boost if lowered tho and if disabled gets rid of motion blur or goes off at very low one of the two)
HDR standard
AF ultra as it has little impact
pip high
Dynamic lights ultra
Texture - High (can do very high tho with some fps loss but still playable)
Objects VH
Terrain VH
Cloud high (might be ok vh but for now i have it on high
Particles - VH
This usually nets me around 45 min and 50-55 average during the sp infantry mission.
Atm i have basically all as said above but tweaked visibility to 6000 for better color depth, somehow makes things a lot nicer as if you slide it left it makes things whiter and more you slide it right it makes it more fuller in color i.e if it generally looks grey looking compared to other peoples screenies or youtube clips then you know they have this setting higher than you. I think 6000 is a semi ok compromise for fps for the color quality it gives. Also i adjusted my textures quality from high to very high which droped the fps from the average 55 ish to 45-50 or there abouts along with the visibility setting adjust.
Hope this helps.
