Battlefield 3 RETAIL Performance Thread

I cant see how Driver Sweeper would mess up your OS. It's very easy to use, just click on the type of device e.g. Display ATI and click clean. When you have ran it and restarted your PC your resolution might be very low, that happenes because all traces of the drivers have been removed. You just have to install your drivers then.

Yeah good job, it's just ****ed MY windows up.
You should be banned for this, recommending highly suspicious and hack-fisted software that has ruined thousands of hours' worth of stuff.
I now have to reinstall Windows and redownload BF3 amongst other things, and bandwidth costs money. Nice one.
 
AMD CAP 4 has been leaked if anyone with Crossfire stuttering wants to try it, the file is digitally signed if you doubt the legitimacy of it.

List of profiles due for AMD 11.9 CAP 4:

Battlefield 3 – Provides great CrossFire scaling and resolves stuttering issues when running in CrossFire mode.

Can't blame me for that, I and thousands of others have used it without any problems. Its not highly suspicious at all, its been around for years. I've used it many times before, what exactly did you do? I think you may have pressed the wrong button. All Driver Sweeper does is remove registry entries that a normal Uninstall wouldn't.

Thats a shame,used it myself 2 years ago and it destroyed my hdd,never again.
Same with most of my mates.
I also have mates who use it all of the time without any probs.
AMD/ATI and Nvidia should have software in their latest drivers that give you
an option to wipe your previous drivers.
Just so sick of downloading new drivers that are worse performing and having
to revert to previous ones.
 
Thats it... I've gone bonkers... Was buying a 560Ti, then two of them, ended up walking away with a GTX580 and HS1 Headset to with it!

I am BATTLEFIELD 3 ready! (At least until next payday to add another 580.

See you MO FO's on the Caspian Border!

Bit harsh, don't you think?

I've seen loads of members from these forums recommending driversweeper...so perhaps it would have been wise to do a search, or a little research, before using it?
 
Oh man those screenshots look amazing!!! Seems my 6850 won't bring me that godliness...

How is the gameplay? I'm only going to buy it if the gameplay matches the graphics ;).

I've used it many many times over the years and haven't had any problems with it.
Have you tried a system restore?
 
Performance was way better tonight, no stuttering just some banding from the servers and all I did was uninstall cap3. TBH I reckon most of the problems are on the server side and they seem to be better now. I did stay off of Teamspeak as well so that might of had an impact. Guess I'll have to try out some more demanding settings tomorrow and get the eye candy up a bit. :)

So glad I didn't use driversweeper, it's proper dodgy.

anyone got a 2500k/oc'ed 570 combo? what are you getting?
Click to expand...

i5 2500k @ 4843mhz, 8GB ram.
Asus DirectCU II unclocked (at the moment)

1920x1080, everything on Ultra
55-60fps with it dropping to 35 in crowded firefights. Very playable.

Default the game set most things to High, but I switched it to Ultra and it plays fine.

Will be clocking tomorrow once the EK water block is on the card.

i5 2500k @ 4.6Ghz
8GB 1600Mzh RAM
6870 1Gb

1920 x 1080 res

Games runs very consistently and well, no real stuttering or crashing, settings on "high" getting me 45-60fps, MSI Afterburner shows approx 900Mb VRAM useage.

Maxed out ULTRA settings also plays OK, again no stuttering, consisten but 30-40fps, and not as great to play but looks pretty, VRAM useage shows about 970mb

Got another 6870 arriving tommorow for Crossfire so hope that boosts perforamnce on ultra :)
