just a few queries, If the game doesnt come with a built in benchmark then how do we know where abouts in the game to get some data? multiplayer games as we know are hard to get an accurate reading, as theres many factors that can affect the results everytime.

For games without an in-built benchmarking utility I'm just doing a run of a certain level/map. I'll try to mention with the results what level/map was used along side the settings.

Mine looked like that too, its either down to the drivers or one of the in-game settings.

Bottles and team-mates eye lids were a dark black while the rest was kind of a smoky/fog.
 
It does indeed, I'm curious if its something to do with 'Bloom/HBAO' which is a setting I usually have disabled anyhow.

Edit: Beaten by rusty :p I usually play with bloom disabled and SSAO with 2xAA

It's HBAO I think...

Hence why I play with it off :D

Ha, you're right. It gives a big boost to the fps as well when disabled :)

Part of me thinks its not full ultra though, so that means ill probably have to end up cutting off my nose to spite my face. God dammit!! :D

In the world of 2 GPU& triple screen gaming you're always looking for ways to trade minimal IQ for more FPS so I've come round to the idea.

It helps that it's atrocious looking as well of course. :D

Are we all using OP Sword Breaker for BF3? and is it the whole map or just a part of it?
Click to expand...

Ideally, yes. :)

Multiplayer is a bit hit and miss i think as its impossible to replicate the level of strain from gpu to gpu, it all depends on whats going on.

Here's my sleeping dogs benchmark (will add a bar chart in due course)
