i5 wont limit him at all people really should stop with this hypthreading nonsense people have benched this on these very forums and there are many articles showing in bf3 even older phenoms unless in sli or crossfire can match higher intel cpus.

hypthreading intel sales crap

someone guy benched on here difference in bf3 same cards i5 3570k and i3770k 1 minute bench marked runs less than 1 fps difference ! same gpu.

No your post is utter nonsense! My i7 happily uses all 8 threads under BF3 and did with my 670. BF3 is nicely multi-threaded unlike many games. If you re-read I said his i5 will limit him "somewhat" not LOADS / LOTS. It WILL limit him somewhat. And my suggestion to o/c is spot on. As per his sig "i5 3570K 3.4Ghz" WILL limit BF3, which is CPU intensive. :rolleyes:

Wow guys really? Take it some place else all the op wanted was confirmation he could play bf3.

Yes it will play it fine and with good frames and graphical levels. the 670 is a very good gpu, enjoy!

put the AA to 2x and you'll be fine.

When you're actually moving around you won't notice the difference between 2x and higher.

Well the good news is I was getting a steady 60-100 fps on Ultra.

My CPU is overclocked now to 4.0GHz.

Thanks for the responses nevertheless, however I was playing last night and on occasions the graphics kept messing up/flickering.

I have 320.18 drivers installed (or at least I think from memory) and I've heard these are causing some problems with some peoples gaming?

What drivers, if at all, should I revert back to?

Don't use those drivers, reports are they're damaging cards.

314.22 worked great for me.

How do I revert back to older drivers on Windows 8? I've never had to delete/re-install drivers before.

Just uninstall them and install the previous ones.

How you finding 120hz? great isn't it?

i just got a 2nd 680 no way in hell i am using 320.18s with them lol.
