GTX 670 and BF3..Texture problems?

[Nevakonaza]

Hi,

Just upgraded from a 6950 2GB to a GTX670 2GB,Wow what a difference i can finally max out BF3 on Ultra settings and still get 90+ FPS.

However one problem,I'm thinking its driver related but could be a simple fix?

In BF3,Ive noticed as i drive along the rocks/plantation are showing up very slowly,Its as if its not processing the textures until i get closer,Never experienced this on the 6950.

Heres an example of something else that's going on..something to do with Textures.


Not looking down sight.

Looking down Sight.

Here,If you look where ive marked there's no rocks,plants etc its just blank.

My settings.

Btw,I done a fresh install of Windows 7 before installing the new card,I done this just to make completely sure there was nothing left over from the AMD drivers.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Could possibly be running out of VRAM? My 670 can fill up to about 2,030mb when running BF3 maxed out though ive never noticed this.

Sorry but I can't actually see anything missing? What drivers are you using? It is deffo not running out of VRAM. If it was, it would turn into a slideshow.

On the first shot,See where i circle...now look on the second image shot there's square block things on the land.

on the third image,there should be more trees/rocks im sure of it i play this map often.

Well all your settings are good so I can't see a problem there. What drivers are you on? I am on 301.42 and have no problems with what you have. Try those and also if that is no good, try the 301.79 drivers. I am also a BF3 player and have never seen your problem.

Is it just Karg island you get it or other maps?

this is how I see it with a 680.

The OP is looking too hard to find things that aren't there. Well when you did (@OP) you down the sight in the first instance I can see a texture corruption but I'd just reinstall drivers and tbh I wouldn't give a monkeys about something like that. If the game plays as good as you've stated Nevakonaza then I don't understand the problem with graphical/texture corruption as that's been happening for YEARS in hundreds of games. Stop looking for things as you're now even talking yourself into seeing problems that were never there (the last picture).

Enjoy your card.....

As above,as you'll always find something wrong if you look hard enough

The second image doesn't look good to me at all. I don't have that on my GTX 480's...

It's just the game, it's a mess on that map especially, there's a wall in the middle that if you get close to it it disappears sometimes, and don't they build textures on top of old stuff? I seen one screen shot of caspien border and it had an american football field under it from a distance.

Well played BF3 again just on different maps,No problems at all with textures must have just been a one off thing.

Really happy with how the GTX670 performs!

And for those who say im been really fussy,Im not!...i play that map the most and it was kind of obvious something was up.

I have a 7970 and I notice a lot of flickering textures on Kharg island especially when using scopes I just put it down to buggy bf3.
