The graph shows 60 fps at the bottom (not top as you would think). The higher the mark on the graph the lower the performance. It shows the CPU and GPU performance in Milliseconds and the higher the MS means the worse the performance for that component. So you can tell whether the GPU or CPU is causing the bottleneck. Now for lower systems I understand that both will probably not be able to push the 60fps mark. But, its a cool little graph to try.___________________________________________________________BF3 Settings Menu and Performance ImpactGRAPHICS QUALITY TEXTURE QUALITYSHADOW QUALITYEFFECTS QUALITYMESH QUALITYTERRAIN QUALITYTERRAIN DECORATIONANTIALIASING DEFERREDANTIALIASING POSTMOTION BLURANTISTROPHIC FILTERAMBIENT OCCLUSIONMethodology - I ported in an empty server.

Stevenxowens792 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 This game is phenominal. As always with DICE their is some netcode issues which can't be denied. This impacts hit detection which really makes me angry on some maps but the game is so much fun. Loving it so far. I don't care about my crap K/D ratio. Just having fun.Look me up on OriginXcessiveForce33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Some feedback.. The rush maps are complete fail without smoke grenades. Very painful for the rushing team. At this point Im disconnecting from any server that cycles to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted October 26, 2011 Founder Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yep basically in a meat grinder when rushing. SP is pretty fun even though its heavily scripted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjahunter Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I can second Stevensx's Performance, and if you do need that little extra visuals you can Easily get away with SSAO too on the M14x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br0jo Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Cool thx for the info. I will do this when I install BF3 tonight and post my results as well.EDIT - The campaign game runs fine at mostly all ultra settings, cant complain. But now I cant get the MP games to launch through battlelog. "update available" Click on it, brings me back to Origin and does nothing. Tried Repair and changing browsers but no good. Will try re installing tonight. Edited October 27, 2011 by Br0jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 @Ninja - Can you give us some performance number in MP from fraps logging, from an I5 perspective? I am going to log today as well. Just screenshot your settings (that's what I am doing). On my I7 ALL cores are being used HEAVILY and I re-enabled turbo at default settings (temps at 96c on cpu) but the game uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 the id changer is not working for me, the button to login wouldn't work for some reason.Does it just keep spinning a little circle loading thingy? If so, disable peerblock (if you run it or anything similar), that was blocking it on my system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Still waiting on some I5 numbers from the FRAPS logging (F11). Remember to hit a 64 player server (full if possible) and then set the video options to vanilla medium to get the best comparison. I already have an Idea of performance difference between the I5 and I7 on this game. Thanks, StevenX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamba66 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 yes me too, i would gladly test this, but unfortunately dont have bf3 yetbut as soon as i will get it, i will test it!this could be interesting too since i have the 2430m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenxowens792 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 dude.. my k/d ration went to shit last night as I hit 3 clan servers that were spawn camping like kids. i went like 3-10 4-11 and i forgot the last match and just left and said to hell with it. Im done with clan boxes. Sticking to public boxes and will have to deal with hackers. (ive seen a couple of players) that were damn suspicious. I killed one dude. died right in front of me. Then he just popped right back up with no revive like i never shot him and headshot me. WTF??????? (and nobody was behind him to revive him either). It even registered the kill for me too. it was WEIRD. It was not a spawn in either, same guy, same place, it was like he never died. So I went form a 1.17 k/d to a .88 in one night. F' those spawn camping bitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n3ocort3x Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) will bench later this evening and give feedback with unlocked, modded A03...

mw86 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 added you n30cort3x mine is marcwaters86. Guys I tried Stevens commands for the console and they seem to help me. I am currently trying 840core 1100 vram 6970m's with 2920xm @ 4.4~ stock volts cores states off so constant 4.4... and using edge detect and SSAA setting in catalyst @ use application settings on all else and everything on ultra in BF3 except AA Diffused at 2x and Post AA at medium as recommended by in shoutbox... Thanks @Widezu "For the best performance and in my opinion the best picture, use 2xAA plus medium post AA. Higher post AA cause over smoothing and thin lines begin to disappear, with medium it is perfect especially paired with 2xAA for minimal performance hit". So far mostly 60fps but according to that performance graph it drops to min of 20fps... how do i get the stats like Nija Hunter posted above? "Frames 36354, Time (ms) 923370, Min 21, max 70, Avg 39.371Frames 23331,Time (ms) 498314, Min 26, Max 91, Avg 46.820"i'd like to post my performance results too... just don't know best way to show... i know i can take pic of hwinfo after hours of use... that will show good stats but how bout that listing for min, max and avg fps... since perfoverlay only shows like stats over last 5secs or something...
