This thread is confusing me, some people saying they have higher fps with a cheaper card than someone with a more expensive card.

Well thats whats confusing me as well. Frame rate is either extremely random depending on the setup or people aren't correctly applying the settings.

anyone using a single/sli 460s? It's not downloaded yet

It's confusing the hell out of me aswell which is why I suspected people weren't restarting their game after applying settings.

I've just installed the latest beta drivers so I'm going to give it another go.

Slight hiccup, I only have 2gb of ram on this machine... wonder if it makes a difference. I guess the tests on my home machine will make it clear (spec in sig)

From Fraps - Min/Max/Avg

Auto settings Cat 11.8 (Metro Defending) - 36/163/86.252 (66,445 Frames)
Ultra settings Cat 11.8 (Metro Attacking) - 46/117/80.947 (65,280 Frames)

1920x1080
6970 CF with Asus bios (890 core)
955 BE @ 3.4Ghz
4GB ram
Creative sound card.

Restarted the game between settings changed and Cat drivers where all default values. Started benchmarks outside at the start of a map and ended after some time of being inside as the level progressed.
I was going to do 11.10 preview drivers but they just hang on install so far so decided just to post these results.

METRO
outside 38-50 average 40ish
inside 48-70 average 50ish

Turned off AA and HBAO/SSAO and its around 50fps constant now on Ultra @ 1920x1080.

Ill do a full match and bench with fraps later.

well, let's say my gtx 480 didn't like my native resolution of 2560x1440 with eveything on high. Lowering the resolution to 1920x1080 fixed the framerate somewhat and fixed my UI which was totally out of the viewable screen but it looks like crap that way :S
hmmmmm.... I'm afraid I might need to upgrade in oktober / november

psychas · 29 Sep 2011 at 19:14

well my rig 6970 i can max it out but, fps goes down to 45 and i prefer over 60 , reduced aa to 2 disabled hbdo and motion blur or what ever its called and shadows to high. now in 60's outside and 80~100 indoors, and my rez only 1680x1050

With these settings

[/QUOTE]

I am getting 40-50 fps at 1920x1200. Got my 6870 at 925 core which i can increase to 1025 to gain a little more. Pretty happy as the game feels pretty smooth. Its raikiris image only difference is my resolution.

I am using the new 11.10 driver. The only problem i am having is the odd flickering now and then.

Anyone running on a 30"? I want to get my disappointment in early on

Azarathal · 29 Sep 2011 at 20:11

It's resolution not screen size that reduced fps.

PCM2 · 29 Sep 2011 at 20:13

Well I'm about to pull the trigger on a pre-overclocked 6950 with aftermarket cooler. It won't be just for this game but I have been looking forward to this for a while and my 5850 just doesn't cut the mustard. I have every intention of moving to a Radeon HD 7000 series card next year too so this is just a stop-gap. Crazy? Possibly.

buchtis · 29 Sep 2011 at 20:20

Loving the FPS i'm getting with these 2 6870's. I really though they'd struggle but the lowest FPS i'm dropping to is 50 outside the Metro in a 32 player server with everything kicking off. All the settings are maxed out too.

If its true about the beta only having medium textures then the full version must be lifelike

HummuH1 · 29 Sep 2011 at 20:38

For any laptop usres:

Dell XPS 17, 3GB GT555M @ 1366 x 768 - from fraps:

Indoor: Min - 29 Max - 61 Avg - 43
Outdoor: MIn - 29 Max - 41 Avg - 36

Textures High, rest on Medium.

I know, running @ 2560 x 1600, thats why I would like to know

steven_belfast · 29 Sep 2011 at 20:54

I noticed a lot of you have not changed the FOV setting,
Is this some thing you all leave a default ?

If you want to change it use Notepad++ and open "PROF_SAVE_body" in Documents\Battlefield 3 Open Beta\settings

Code:

70.000000

About the 3rd line down, i have changed this to 95.000000
When i went to 110.000000 the game failed to load.

LiE · 29 Sep 2011 at 20:54

Pretty much unplayable for me using CF 5850 and 11.9.

I get about 50-70 FPS for a while then it drops to 2-5 FPS randomly or when spawning/dying. I wonder if it's due to CF? Anyone had similar experiences?

Edit: Just disabled CF and FPS is stable at 30-40, no drops. I guess I will have to wait for a CF profile?

P.S. happens with 11.10 preview drivers also.

ojgbrown · 29 Sep 2011 at 21:03

Am I missing something here? I'm running an I5-2500K @stock, 8GB DDR3, 6870 1gb @stock and I am running this at 60FPS with everything maxed out on Ultra.

What was with all this nonsense about needing two 580's?

Yet more evidence of people pushing BS around to justify their unecessary purchases.

smogsy · 29 Sep 2011 at 21:05

no ultra is maxed for now, maxium will be released with the final release.

Ultra canb be played fine with 570GTX/68XX

Maxium requires 2 Cards (due to tellesation i think)
