New BF2 patch drops framerates?

[josh6079]

I've noticed it on mine and wondered if it is maybe just something with my setup of if it is happeneing to others as well but...I have my 7800 GT SLI rig at 4x AA, 16x AF, High Quality, and Split Screen Rendering...that's it. When I used to play BF2 with SLI AA at 8x I would be in the 60~100 range 99% of the time. Now, even if I go back to using SLI AA I get constant 30~50?!?! Besides, isn't split screen rendering a little less stressful on the cards? I don't know if the last patch did something to the engine or what. I mean, when I had one card I could play it with those settings!

Wow, also when I do the Split-screen rendering mode, my game play is really "choppy" like the lower half of my screen isn't keeping up with my upper half? Are you sure that if you overclock using coolbits that it does it to both cards?

what patch version you running on? maybe u need some vsync

I unistalled the nVidia drivers (84.20) and used driver cleaner pro to finish the job. Then I reinstalled them and the problem is gone...and...now...ANOTHER PROBLEM IS HERE. I booted up my computer today and it wouldn't boot. The load screen would show then it would go black. I had to start in safe mode and use a restore point to get it to boot up. I restored it back to before I installed nHancer and it has been working pretty good so far. I think some of the tweaking I did in nHancer did it but I'm not sure. Could it maybe be the 84.20 driver, it is a beta right now after all.
