BF3, new bottlenecks after patch.

[skipsneeky2]

Yes, my processor is maxed out at 100% This started occurring after the patch. I went from average 30-35 fps to 2 to 5 fps. I have perf logs before and after patch. The changed amount of CPU utilization was astounding. My original post was asking if there was any changes to the software that could have caused these new performance issues. I know my gear is dated. I don't see a answer except to just buy more stuff. Thanks for your help.

Cheap route would be a i3 2100 and a radeon 6850 or 6870.

Some forum members have pulled excellent performance with this i even started a thread about it you can check out on my profile one guy posted his build and it was excellent for bottom dollar.

Good luck :thumbsup:

I think, I'm going to have to just bite the bullet. What's a inexpensive mobo cpu combo that handle BF3?

Just gotta say, me and a buddy planned to play BF3 last night (kids so time is limited), go to start it up, and boom, get hit with a 4 gigabyte patch... A little warning would have been nice! We're not all nerdlingers checking when the next patch is being released! Took hours waiting for that, ended up playing poker and drinking beer, by the time the patch was done we were 5 beer in! Ran out of beer because of the damn patch


Lawl.

/shrug It took me a whole 10 minutes to download the patch.
