Battlefield 3 RETAIL Performance Thread

just tried editing the clock speeds on this bios and then reflashing with RBI, I now get a bsod on the card thats been flashed.


I didn't think changing the clock speed in the bios then reflashing it would effect it.

obviously it does, Now I need to remember how I fixed it last time this happened, as the PC crashes when it tries loading any 3D.

Safe mode is fine but can't run ATI flash under it.

Just waiting on the game to be delivered. My set up is a Stock i7 2600 with stock 4 gig and a aging asus 4870x2 tri fan. I get 17,7K score on 3d mark Vantage and can max out on COD. Has anyone yet seen or heard what performance a 4870x2 gets? Some guy on utube played on high settings.
 
Catalystcreator just tweeted.

"For those of you running in CF with BF3, and suffering stuttering, please remove Catalyst 11.9 CAP3, we're looking into the stuttering issue"


At least they are aware of this issue.

Took his time lol

Im happy with my current performance, don't think ill bother with any further drive updates unless they really really enhance performance. DICE have done an amazing job at optimising this game.

Now that I get the FPS I wanted, Im sooo tempted to overclock my 5850s and see how high I can put the settings and still get 60fps minimum. Im just a bit worried I might brake something.

Good for you mate, nice to see good performance from those cards.

I can't see why you can't get a bit more from your 5850's maybe another 50-75 mhz....worth trying to be honest.

I can get another 175 Mhz from my 5970, but I have to run the fan @ 70%.
 
So the 11.10 preview drivers, without CAPS, have given the best performance so far elrasho?

Haven't played the game myself yet, but will be running crossfire 5850's too.

Spec:

* i7 950
* 2 x HD 5850 / Crossfire
* 12gb Patriot Viper
* Dell S2409Wb (24" - 1920 X 1080)

Yes indeed, 11.10 Preview 3 drivers without CAPs gives the best performance. I kept getting BSOD when trying to uninstall CAPs so I had to uninstall the drivers first then CAPs. I ran Driver Sweeper too and then installed 11.10 Preview.

Damien whats your rig?

Wolvers I got rid of the stuttering by doing this:

1. Uninstall ATI Drivers
2. Uninstall CAP
3. Use Driver Sweeper to get rid of any traces of the ATI Drivers
4. Install 11.10 Preview 3 drivers

Im now playing with everything High and not HBAO but the other one and its running 80 - 100 fps. Resolution 1080P. Make sure you reboot after each step, dont do any shortcuts. Yeah its a ball ache but its worth it :)

Thanks, I'm not a big fan of using driver sweeper so this will be a last resort for me.

I've also read that disabling hyper-threading on the cpu cures it. Not sure about that myself but I guess it's worth a try.

I've never had any problems with driver sweeper, if I was you I'd go down that route before disabling HT.
