More shaders on a gpu does not equal more vram usage as far as i know.

So on 1920x1080 ..high settings , and the game screen blinks on and off ? didnt do that before ..when I was using a 760 4Gig MSI Card , and IF i get into the game its very sluggish with maybe 35fps
on 1440x900 high settings i get around 75 fps , no sluggishness and the game is very playable

Having upgraded from one 670 to two, the game feels quite different. Although I thought it was smooth before, having a higher frame rate has made the experience a lot better. Some how the IQ has improved. 
My 24/7 settings in BF4 now giving mostly constant 60fps (vsync on) with only something like a cruise missile dipping my frames into the mid to high 50's..
I had CPU spikes again last night but then noticed that the CTE had downloaded a patch update.. after restarting the game the spikes had gone
Max VRAM with these settings is around 2.6GB and if Mantle would clear the VRAM after each round i reckon i could do full ultra as the build up of VRAM wouldnt be an issue. But hey both BF4 and Mantle are still in Beta
To be honest though i dont see a huge difference image wise with these settings and full ultra.
@Matt.. I changed to RenderDevice.FramePacingMethod 0 and after a good 6-7 rounds of testing it does seem like there is an extra few FPS to be had over RenderDevice.FramePacingMethod 2 Cheers for the tip 
Btw RenderDevice.FramePacingMethod 1 is a stuttery mess and i learned not to change this in game last night as i saw my FPS hit 7 before the whole thing all froze up lol
On a side note.. with my clocks in sig and this warmer weather my GPU has seen 72c in temps. Not bad for an almost 2 year old Dual X 7950

Something i'd like to do as i loved the GOL in BFBC2.
Was that just now? There was a new patch today, (1gb ono). Checked mine just now for updates but says all is upto date.

would it make any difference to in game fps if my monitor resolution was different to the resolution I set in BF4 ,or whatever my monitor is set at should be the same in game ?
That's reassuring. I reinstalled windows but maybe ill have to download the CTE again as the main game was horrible when i played last night.
Jesus monsieur PG Tips its been like that since launch lol.
