hyperthreading and bf3???

920 HT on, CF5850 + W7.

Silky smooth here. In fact so far i've had no issues with the game at all. Unlike BC2 which gave me a bollock load of trouble..
 
turning off HT does wonders for most games that really utilise a quadcore. HT mimics 8 cores, but it also cuts you speed in half. a 4ghz 4core 2600k will become a 2ghz 8core 2600k. bf3 benefits more from a fast quadcore than a weak octocore

I'm getting stutter too and I already had HT switched off in the bios (although to test you could just set processor affinity via task manager), I'm running a H55 based board, an i3 @ 3.8Ghz, and a 5850 extreme video card and using all the latest drivers available for all my hardware. For me the problem is more intermittent as I can play a round or two and have smooth performance before being affected, although it seems to coincide with alt-tabbing out and back to the game that is causing it for me, need to do a bit more testing to confirm but hoping a patch update will fix it as the stuttering causes my enjoyment of the game (and my kill-to-death ratio) to take a nosedive!

It was the first thing i tried... Fresh installed the new betas. then rebooted with hyper threading back on and jumped in a game and the stutter was there very noticeably. Rebooted with hyper threading back off and jumped in a game and smooth as butter. So it seems that the new beta nvidia drivers didn't do anything for the hyper threading issue. Or at least my i7 930 @ 4.0...... As for the drivers tho. They seem to work really well with my 280gtx sli tho... better performance and no more shadow bugs :)

Well, if your experience is better with ht off then leave it off. Me, i have ht on with the i7-860 and gtx 580 1.5gb, have tried on and off and no difference. Maybe you have high ping :D
