BF3 and ATI 5750

[pcslookout]

I am shocked to see my recent video card a ATI 5750 handles Battlefield 3 really well. Not Ultra High of course but all High basically. There doesn't seem to be a huge difference but maybe there is. I was hoping for at least medium.

Does my resolution have something to do with it? I play at 1680x1050.

I run it on mostly medium settings with a 5770 at 1920x1080 and very rarely will it drop below 45fps. What really surprises me is I can run it all low with a 4670 and remain above 30fps, but of course that's at 1280x720 lol. It's perfectly playable, just not pretty.

It probably has to do with your resolution, it's more of a standard to have 1680x1050 or higher, only the cheapest of the cheap computers come with lower resolution monitors anymore.

of course the resolution matters. according to reviews though, a 5750 should not handle high settings as well as you are claiming even at 1680.

Well glad I didn't go up a resolution but I do want to. Isn't 1920x1080 mainly the standard now? I didn't think 1680x1050 still was? Like it could be called low resolution maybe.

One good thing of my Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS 320 died a long while ago. There no way that thing would of handled Battlefield 3.

That is exactly what has me confused. Though actually it would but barely. Didn't say great or perfect. It doesn't feel or seem bad at all. I haven't looked or measured the fps yet but should. Maybe it has something to do with my other parts of my system. Like my SSD, etc.

I remember Crysis the minimum fps would be higher with a SSD for some strange reason. Has me thinking.

Well sense 30 fps + is the goal at least for me and most games. It would be playable just barely but it all depends if that is average, minimum or maximum fps right there.

An SSD could help with texture streaming.

I have a 5750 512MB and I run at 1920x1080 with everything set to low/off and a few things set to medium (textures and geometry).

I average 45-55fps. Every now and then it may drop below 40, but its rare. It actually runs quite well. But I am still going to upgrade once the 7k series comes out. I actually feel that BF3 runs better than BC2 does for me.

If I set textures to high however, I quickly run out of vram and end up with some pretty bad stuttering. 512MB is just not enough.

Oh, and I run FRAP's in every game, so I am always seeing my current fps.

Yeah I am waiting for the 7k series as well.

Yep BF3 definitely seems to run better than BC2 for me as well.

I have the 1 GB version. Maybe that helps a lot? I know my Geforce 8800 GTS 320 suffered a lot with so little video ram. GTA4 was horrible. Now it is perfectly playable but I have had lag in it when turning really fast in a car. Strange.

My kids 5750 overclocked runs BF3 just fine at 1600x1050 high settings no aa. SIngle player that is.

If you have it overclocking your probably avg. around 40 fps or something right?
Maybe abit higher if your CPU is overclocked too.

Have you had your 5750 since 2009? 2011 and still kicking until 2012 upg time ^-^
Not a bad buy back then really... its still a decent GPU to this day.

I have mine overclocked, plus my CPU is more than enough to feed it. Had it since 2009. I am pretty pleased with how well its done.

1920x1080 on Auto (everything set to high with 4x antistropic I get about 40fps. This is with a Radeon 6790 with 11.9 drivers.

If I set it to 1600x900 at the same settings, its perfectly smooth. I couldn't be happier.

I will never understand why some people do not use 16x AF. it has NO impact on performance for any remotely modern card worthy of playing games on. unless you have integrated video or super low end card, 16x AF has basically been free for at least 6-7 years.

Yep. I do.

Well then ill crank it up then. Thats what the auto settings gave me so ill just change it to custom and tweak it accordingly.

yeah developers of modern games really should automatically have AF set to 16X or at least 8X for anything above low settings.
