Fov is 80 Edit: just noticed you're running your 2500k at 3.3 ghz. That will be limiting on busy servers. I'm running 4.5 ghz, makes a lot of difference.
2500k@3.3Ghz V 2500k@4.5Ghz *edit ha I've had the reply box open for ages. Didn't see Eclap posting the same thing above
What do you mean underperforming? Check benchmarks on what FPS are you supposed to be getting with that card. Get 580 in SLI and then start to complain. That's why there are settings in this game to find the best that suits your needs. I have a 22" with 1680x1050 and on everything maxed out, 4MSAA the campaign is working great 45 to 60 FPS and looks stunning. On Multi sometimes I have to set 2MSAA because I get stutter but anyways if it's between 45 and 60 with all eyecandy I'm OK. Don't know about the mouse stutter. Maybe get a better one?
I am going to get a code for Battlefield 3 with my CPU Any idea what should i except for performance/settings?
Oc that 2600k a bit more. I would say you will run just fine on high settings at 50+ fps. Maybe even with 2x MSAA. Edit: 7 gb ram? Wtf?
Yea, i just bought some RAM and then my birthday came and i got even more and how far you think it would be safe? I only got the stock cooler.
I wouldn't push it too much with the stock cooler mate. Get yourself a cooler master hyper 212+ if your on a tight budget. They're great, I'm using one and my highest temp in prime after 6 hours was 58C.
That's a question, with all respect, nobody can answer that precisely. Its depending on your airflow in your case. I got a nice airflow and for example in Bf3 the TJ is hitting 48-50C. Measure your TJ temp and apply a OC and measure again, if ok then increase the OC more and so on...till you got on a safe side of 75-80C If you having a other cooler then its possible to go higher but you have take into account its now winter in Belgium too, so if its the ambient temp rise in summer you still on the save side with stock cooler. But that is personal preference anyway. Real Temp is what i use for temp reading on Cpu.
Only benchmarks I can find of the GTX 570 are on ultra. Those I've asked about their performance on high settings with a GTX 570 seem to be a constant 60+, which is why I am bothered. Gonna get a new mouse as soon as I get paid to see if it solves the mouse problem at least.
Anyone experienced green full screen flickering with 580 SLI? It happens totally randomly. Exiting and entering back to full screen seems to fix it. On other thread replacing the SLI bridge did the trick... ..what gives?
I hate the fact that single card solutions are slower but, usually, more effective and stable (driver and software wise)
Usually, no. Sometimes it is, or at least it just looks like (micro stuttering, flickering, image corruption, etc.). Or at least is more stable from the driver part and usually there's no need to be waiting for application profiles or driver fixes. But, hey ! when they work, its awesome ! Except for 3-way SLI/CF that seems is micro stuttering free... (although a bit unnaffordable)
Well I decided to OC my 580 again and im running at 850/2060 now, also bumped my CPU OC to 4.5ghz. Seemed to give me a nice few extra FPS so I decided to go what the heck and bumped up the MSAA to x4 (was messing between off and x2 untill now) Played all night in a low ping server (it said max was 100 limit to join, for me it was 30's)and it was very very smooth. I had the FPS counter open all night and never saw it go below 45fps. x4 MSAA, 1080p, All Ultra, Blur ON (and set at 30% ish), FOV 75 VRAM for those who like that sort of thing maxed on Operation Firestorm tonight at 1600mb, Caspian Border was ~1400mb (but I have seen it go 1800mb in previous testing) Loving this game and its IQ, Loving my 580 3Gb also :banana:
Heres a little tweak i guess, boost FPS a good bit! in console type WorldRender.DxDeferredCsPathEnable 0 no idea what it does, no lost in graphics as far as i can tell, nice boost in fps. i have notice it shifts more work load to my CPU and my vram usages goes higher..
