Apparently the Ultra settings are the official culprit but I get stutter on any setting, less noticeable on lower settings, but enough to piss you off.
edit: was also getting a bit of sound lag, uninstalled realtek and nvidia audio drivers and it went away, my comp fails lol
Just done a quick test and I’m getting still getting stutter with low settings. New Nvidia drivers too.
Guess they may need to roll out a new patch for the game to work flawlessly.
EDIT: Apparently Firefox is now a bloated piece of shit, switched to Chrome as a test and now my stutter has gone. r.i.p my beloved Firefox. cry
I’ve been having stutter while watching youtube videos in firefox lately, so it’s probably affecting the hardware and/or drivers.
Yeah, sadly firefox is a terrible resource hog. With later versions, it’s like a god damn browser meant for use with a supercomputer lol. I loose like 15 fps in BF3 if i run a youtube video in the background :what:
Firefox may be the reason many people are getting stutter.
Ultra settings and v-sync.
Firefox: avg: 36 fps min: 9 fps
chrome: avg: 58 fps min: 32 fps
I just found out why my online rounds keep freezing, the IOH is overheating. My fucking luck, both my bro’s ASUS Rampage III Extreme and my X58 Pro-E have overheating IOH issues.
Hm, I’m gonna try using Chrome instead of FF next time I play to see if I gain any FPS.
Edit:
Why are you people running your browsers while you’re gaming… [color=black]or is bf3 browser-based or some shit and I just never heard about it? I couldn’t give less of a fuck about it after all…
Battlefield 3 launches from a browser based server browser.
Close the browser after you’ve started the game up?
that’s dumb.
It actually works quite well.
I love how i get home all excited to play BF3, and i finally turn it on…and the computer completely fucks up. It turns on for 5 seconds, turns off, then turns itself on and off until i manually hold the button.
FUCK me.
Agreed.
Why can’t we use good ol’ steam?
OH RITE
I remember when people would have freaked at you for calling steam "good ol’ ". Lets give Origin some time, I’m glad EA has been doing this because it means EA is making and investment in PC gaming and won’t be bailing on it like so many other game companies seem eager to do.
First of all where the hell have you been the last few months?
Second of all it works really well.
It’s a bit annoying to have to wait for the game to start up every time you want to join a game, though.
Just went out and bought the game, got home, put the dvd in, origin pops up, put the key in, origin “downloads the game” even though its actually reading from the disc lol, takes 30 min to install, now it wants to download a 450mb patch, fine, takes half an hour to 40 min on my 3mb connection, fine, installs, fine, play, firefox opens up, login, fine, you´re not running the latest nvida mofo drivers hoe! 250mb download, sigh, fine… waiting for that now, jeeze how long could it possibily take to start the game!!!
While I was it, I checked the “is your pc ready” thingie, says no, wtf? you telling me that my i5 2500k, 16gb ddr3 1600, 2x ssd raid, and 2x 275GTX in SLI aint enough? I check the recommended stuff, gtx560!? looool, what a load of marketting bullshit, 2x 275 in sli kick the shit out of a 560.
EDIT: Hell according to this, a 560 is 1%, 4% better in x sections, and a lot better if you use a lot of AA which I don´t… so yeah 2x GTX275 is better lol

The recommended specs are BS, yeah. I don’t see any reason it shouldn’t run for you :meh:
I’m glad that they ended up adding blood splatter into the game but it looks pretty bad. Also how are you supposed to decide between weapons if there’s no stats? It just shows rate of fire, mag size, etc.
