What exactly is this showing (bf3 related)

[LtMatt]

The config won't change the image quality settings, just the vsync, triple buffer and renderahead commands which can solve microstutter.

Thankyou LtMatt

Nay bother.

I have a similair issue with my configuration, It was to do with using SLI and microstutter, Using SLI and triple monitors you cant get them to sync but if your getting microstutter you can stop it with some console commands, off the top of my head they were:

gametime.maxvariablefps 60
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1
RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 1

There's som interesting images in a thread a made a few moths ago http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18490027

Strange, was just in a server (firestorm) with the hardwareinfo program running and it was only showing a peak of 48% cpu load, possibly the modified setting's doing that? On karkand it was around 65-70% max a few weeks ago.

Go onto a 64 player caspian border server Gerard, this map really works the cpu. The b2k maps are a cpu disaster for some reason. I loose a few fps on those maps whatever system i use, seen it on the spec in sig, my old i7 920 at 4.2ghz, and my 930 at 4.3ghz. Personally i think the b2k maps are badly coded.

Yeah those maps seem to eat up more cpu time, must be the "enhanced" destruction that does it. Or cack coding, id say both.

certain maps are more strenuous on the cpu.

bf3 is one of the worst optimized games ever and bf4 will be same its a EA game they only know how to make pretty broken games
