I'm just not willing to make a game horribly ugly anymore just to get 60-80-100 FPS like I was back when I was a kid. I remember getting Q2 to run at 80-100FPS with a config that basically made nearly every texture a solid color, and loved it. Now I'm more willing to give up a few FPS to enjoy a game's visuals, I'm not competeting in any leagues or making any money, if I lose a few kills per match because of it, big deal. Doesn't help that I also run 2560x1600, BF3 is really making my 6970s work.

Even my buddies 120hz asus gaming panel isn't that impressive to me. I love the ability of running whatever resolution I want and not having to stay at a native resolution.
I prefer min of 85fps, below that I can really see a difference and notice choppiness. Please don't give me the eye can't see a difference, don't wanna hear it.
It's crazy how changing to a lower resolution effects BF3. 1360x768 @ 170hz is how I play now, yes it's formatted correctly, black bars top and bottom. With a Q9650 @ 4.3ghz it's at 65% usage and gtx570 @ 900mhz running ultra w/ no HBAO and 4xAA I don't drop below 85fps outside and don't drop below 100fps indoors, GPU usage is around 85-99%.
I just picked up a ROG Matrix gtx 580 platinum at lunch today and hope to get it OC'd to 1000mhz. I'll then change it up to 1600x900 and hopefully get the same fps.

Have you ran that on a 21" $1800 CRT before? It still looks crisp and sharp with 4xAA in BF3. Pixels are still tight, no blurry text or anything, it's not what you think it is. Anyways, that rez won't be needed anymore. I've got this gtx580 stable at 980mhz and running at 1600x900, not dropping below 80fps. Using this 16x9 rez really improves your FOV also.lol 1360x768? yeah.. enough said.. sorry dude but i'd rather play a game at 20fps then play a game at the same resolution i was playing games at in the late 80's, early 90's. same exact reason why i think minecraft is a piece of junk.

I keep lowing my settings because my current 45 FPS feels like crap whereaas I'm normally happy with 35-40 FPS. Weird...
IMO the AA modes introduce some weird lag. MSAA especially and post-process AA to a small extent.
Try disabling all AA and see if the game doesnt feel more responsive at the same fps. I felt the MSAA lag bug in BC2 but no one seemed to talk about it.
It's all personal preference, I play at the resolution that makes me happy that I enjoy looking at. I just don't think you really know what your talking about since you have not seen it 1st hand and actually gamed on a CRT running 100-170hz with fps to match.i don't care what the pixels look like.. why the hell would i use an 1800 dollar CRT to play a game at 1/4 the resolution it can display.. and no i quit using CRT's the day they became obsolete and have no plans on ever going back to them.
Thanks for the feedback everyone, I appreciate it, I'm getting the general consensus that for multiplayer you guys want it between 50-60 FPS at least. With singleplayer, you'd find 30-40 FPS acceptable. For multiplayer in this game, that gives us a good idea where we should target.
Sounds about right.
Singleplayer=pretty,
multiplayer=to busy to kill to care
Im running 6970, with 11.9 CAP1, and im getting like 29-33 fps average @ 1920x1200 4XAA all ultra, is this normal? or i should get more?
