Yup. After a hard days work, I like to get on as independent and score a sniper rifle and camp hi traffic areas like novy and stary or an objective if close by.
I have some pretty high end hardware and the game can chug for me. On fresh server restarts I get 60+ fps until an area gets clogged with players and then it can get jumpy/laggy. Being in the gunner position if vehicles can get nauseous at times.

So I just RMA'd a G1.Sniper 3 board because it could not handle Tri-SLI with nV surround. Can anyone verify that this board can do it? I'm really close to pulling the trigger on buying this. I really don't want to go X79 cause all I need now is a motherboard.
So.... do tri-fire 7970s now play stutter-free in eyefinity in BF3? I unloaded my cards already but wondered if the problem was driver or just the hardware arrangement of CF as opposed to SLI.
Thanks for this review. I am considering this board and have been a fan of ASUS' WS series. I still have a WS board powering 920 i7 and before that one powering a Yorkfield quad. I ilke that they put in an onboard power switch this time and it appears to have the same power components (DIGI...
So I just switched over from 7970s in trifire running eyefinity to two gtx 670s in surround (3rd card on the way) and I was thrilled that nvidia could make all this all run buttery smooth. BF3 in surround is just as smooth as a single card powering a single monitor. Heck even the single card...
too little too late. I got tired of the tri-fire/eyefinity problems and sold off my cards. Will never go multi card with AMD. Single card was great until I added the two cards.
I've been using this for the last couple days. Single card 7970 eyefinity performance in BF3 is substantially improved over RC11. 2xCF smoothness is improved but not better than single card. Tri-fire is till a no go.
the latest 12.4 betas certainly unlocked more performance in my tri-fire setup but still get bluescreens when I try to run bf3 with eyefinity. Forcing triple buffering with D3Doverrider certainly helped a lot with the smoothness.
I own both but prefer the Samsung glossy screen. Everything just looks clearer because of the glass screen. However, the colors just pop on the Asus and find myself just sightseeing in BF3 multiplayer cuz the colours look so good especially for a TN screen.
define good frame rate. I get 55 fps on low settings yet I consider it good despite having 120Hz monitors because its a smooth consistent with very few dips. Ideally I would want at least 120 fps but despite having tri-fired 7970s, it looks choppy despite the 140+ frames that is reported. Turns...
I have 3 7970s and the short answer is to stay away from eyefinity right now. If you can get it to work the framerate looks choppy despite the high number reported. Single display looks fine to me.
Bf3 graphics are better but back in the day I thought BC2 graphics were the bomb...while not quite up to par to Crytek graphics (Crysis), BC2 seemed to run more efficiently. If anything, BC2 is more responsive to overclocked CPUs than BF3.
I so want to do tri-fire with these too but I'm on the fence. Right now I'm on tri-fire SLI 580GTX powering a single 120Hz display (yes, overkill I know but this is [H] damnit) and the fluidity is just breath-taking with my min fps not dropping below 100 fps. I would love to see tri-fire results...
I just set up eyefinity and I have no regrets. I also play BC2. One thing I had to get used to was the fisheye effect. But the battlefield feels more live now with chaos on 3 screens now. They did a nice hardware analysis at techspot.com for BC2 that I used to make purchasing decisions. If you...
I was able to sort out my blackoout issues. I run with the bizlink dp-dvi and running this with my 30' by itself, the screen would cut after a minute. To get it back, I would have to unplug/replug the usb connection. Very annoying. However, I missed a very important detail. I can't use the HDMI...
