Battlefield 3 Performance on my PC

Watlinguk · 10 Nov 2011 at 18:35

Hi guys, i know a lot of people have had stutter issues in BF3, and some say different things to resolve it but i have tried prity much everything, drivers,lowering settings, turning settings off (such as hbao)

When i am playing BF3 my average frame rate is around 70-80, and rarely drops below, yet when i move within the game it is very stuttery, and not fluid at all. My temps are okay and my cpu temps are at 55 on load

Im just really baffled, my spec is below, which i think should be more than enough, but even on low settings i get stuttery performance.

Any thoughts?

Kind Regards

I tried with Hyperthreading off yup :/

EDIT- Oh nice Stulid, will download them right a way. Im hoping this is the solution! It does say it improves stuttering!

Thanks all will let you know if it resolves it

The new drivers do help with stuttering. Also, go to your origin games folder, open bf3, right click on the games exe, properties/compatibility. Disable desktop composition, this willl free up some vram by disabling windows aero. HBAO is a bit of an fps hitter, try SSAO, also MSAA (deferred aa) hits fps hard, try using the post aa setting.
