Here is just a quick test that I did with FRAPS (single player mission) with these settings:

Avg: 74.899 - Min: 56 - Max: 113

FPS will be a bit less for multi player, depends on the maps and what size of server you're playing on.

So you should get a bit higher due to having a better CPU, someone posted a chart of all the CPU's and BF 3 benefited a lot! with the better CPU's (for minimum FPS that is)

The worst fps drops in multiplayer are on the b2k maps, particularly with 64 players. Im running a gtx 670 @1310/7586, 4.2ghz cpu. Can normally average 70fps on ultra, x4msaa, 16x af, high post aa, blur off and hbao on at 1920x1200.

On theese maps it will drop below 60 a few times. Still playable though.

This most definitely. I run high settings on stock 3570K and MSI 670 OC and I stay at 60 may dip as low as 57 on some maps but on B2K it goes down to low 50's and if on ultra as low as 42/43. Bit of a pain but no game breaker.

Have to mention on a side note. I turned on colorblind support last night. I am not colorblind myself but the game looks so much better. Love the different colours used for enemies, friendlies and squadies.
 
anyone else getting bored with 1 shot kill snipers that infest 89% of the servers in BF3? WTF were dice thinking giving sniper an ability to 1 shot people and giving them semi automatic weapons.

Lost count how many times i get killed with 1 shot even when i have 100% hp.

Totally overpowered

Shut up and put up.

It's fine. I rarely play sniper and never have issues countering them. Just play better.

well I would play better, but when my gun needs 3-4 bullets to get a kill, while a sniper has almost fully automatic firing rate and has a range of 5 miles and 1 shot can and usually does kill you, its pretty hard.

The best thing about the useless sniper is when they miss and then you hear a bullet flying past you every 0.2 of a second, like the guy is using p90 or something.

I wonder what you would say if my m249 had a 1 shot kill capability. I am sure you would not just shut up and put up.

Total BS.

Rifles have associated downsides weighing in against their damage per bullet. If what you are whining about was anywhere near the truth everyone would play nothing but recon with semi auto rifles. Clearly that is not the case.

An M249 is not an appropriate weapon to be using at long range versus recon. Know your role, know your capability with your load out and play to that stregth. Accept you cannot take on the entire other team, their range of classes and loadouts with your LMG. if you have such a hard on for LMGs and Support then choose to loadout with mortar and deal with snipers that way.

It is a fact that most sniper kills are 1 shot....Also most people do play recon.

Since clearly you are a very experienced BF, you do know that mortars cannot kill people when they are in the buildings right? Also another great dice design is that, a sniper has far greater range than my mortar, so even if he is in open ground, I might not be able to reach him lol. Another advantiage of a sniper, he can outshoot anything on the battlefield by 50 miles.

But since clearly you are another camping sniper I will just end this discussion.

What I best love about BF? It's a team game and yet we got snipers, the most camping designed class in the history of online gaming lmao.

Feel free to browse. Recon is my least played class.

As for you, un-install the game.

Wants team based game > Complains about not being able to deal with Recon > Clearly playing solo with LMG. :rolleyes:
 
Snipers are more hassle in hardcore, you shouldn't really have a problem in normal as it takes a head shot to kill you, and if they get a head shot then they deserver the kill mate.
 
I don't find the sniping too bad in this game thankfully, not sure about hardcore mode as I haven't played that mode in a long time due to pathetic campers who only care about their k/d and virtually no teamwork.

The recons are the most useless class by far, DICE messed them up big time, should have kept the class the way it was in BC 2, recon gets C4 and mortar and the support gets spawn beacon and MAV. The only thing the recons use the MAV for is to glitch to the top of buildings/highways and the only thing they use the spawn beacon for is planting it on top of said building/highway or in their wee camping position miles away from the flags/action :rolleyes:

If you think it is bad in this game, you would love bc 2 for it! In hardcore mode it literally was a one shot one kill all the time :D :p The amount of snipers was unbelievable, in fact it was so bad that nearly every hardcore server had a recon limit (3 for each team) lol.
