Bump! My i7 920 which is happily running at 3.33GHz base -> 3.48GHz Turbo. It's a C0 and I don't plan on ever doing water-cooling so I won't take it further. In order to keep the whole system current, I changed the video cards over the years, and that seemed to have done the trick. Started...

I recall that in the BF3 image quality article, AA Post was preferred. So, that's how I played it for 2 years, all Ultra + AA Deferred Off + AA Post High. http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/11/02/battlefield_3_single_player_performance_iq_review/8 I wonder what has changed now to cause...

I have the same issue, it was a flicker of disco colour for those texture panels. Also the framerate was about 50% worse than BF3 at the same settings. Though, I was not using today's Game Ready driver. Just installed that so will be trying again. Despite that issue, I toughed it out in my...

Vanilla, The Rift. Black-Briar Lodge on the left.

Despite the recent price drops on the 7970 3GB, decided to go with Team Green this time around :) Now I'm the owner of an MSI GeForce GTX 680! To keep things smooth I've been playing my games at 1680x1050, so I look forward to putting the display back to native 1920x1200 and putting Motion...

Thanks for the replies. My system currently has 12GB DDR3 @ 1280MHz. I'm definitely looking at picking up an SSD for OS + 2 games, especially now that the 120GB prices have dropped to around $120 in my neck of woods. Just that, my OS + all applications + all games are currently on a 1TB...

Sorry in advance for posting yet another one of thes "what shall I get?" threads.... CPU: i7 920 @ 3.33GHz Display: 24in 1920x1200 Games I'm playing: Battlefield 3 MP - Ultra, 16x AF, HBAO, AA Post High, MSAA Off, Motion Blur Off Skyrim - Highest settings, 16x AF, FXAA, MSAA Off...

Got introduced to Elder Scrolls by Morrowind, then also finished Oblivion, so I guess me getting Skyrim is inevitable. I was waiting for the AMD driver glitch (especially CrossfireX as my rig runs 2x Radeon 6870s) to get sorted, the price to get kinda lower than $59.99 and also for my credit...

Are you sure? I'm under the impression that BF3 doesn't even have non-DX11 code paths, so the game won't even run on any video card that doesn't support DX11. That means GeForce 4xx+ and ATI 5xxx+.

Thanks for the preview performance preview. I spent about 3hrs tweaking all the settings trying to get it running acceptable AND to get rid of the stuttering. The preview article and this thread provided pretty much everything I needed. Thanks so much. Can't wait to get home and to implement the...

Woohoo! 2 years on with the Coolermaster CM 690, now the proud owner of the Corsair 650D :-) Didn't have much complaints with the CM 690... until I picked up another Radeon 6870 to CrossFire. As you can see, there's not enough PCI slots in the back for a double-slot video card to use...

System spec, though I don't think it makes much difference.... Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.33GHz Gigabyte EX58-UD4P XFX 6870 CrossfireX Cat 11.4 For Dragon Age 2, I'm running 1920x1200, 16x AF, Very High, all options checked. In-game AA off, CCC set to 16x AF Override App Setting, AA Use App...

I have the Steam version, running on 1920x1200, Very High, all options checked (with high-res texture) with 6870 CF (Catalyst 11.2) and i7 920 @ 3.33GHz. 16x AF but no in-game AA. Using MLAA instead. So far I'm getting 38fps to the 60fps VSYNC ceiling. That's faster than Origins so no complaints...

Great, at least that means I'm not crazy and imagining things :p I don't think I can "roll back" to 10.9, as much as I'd like to, because I don't think 68xx are supported by it :( Oh well, I don't REALLY have to play that now, as much as I'd like to.... Believe it or not, the reason why...

Catalyst 10.10. My last ATI card was an X800XT in a Northwood P4 system, and the GTX 285 was the first and only video card on the current rig since I built it, so there wouldn't be any old AMD drivers on this computer :D Just did that Driver Sweeper thing from Guru3D, cleaned up NVIDIA video...
