Post your performance figures in BF3!

[SlowSpyder]

Is there a benchmark to download, or would I have to install the beta and use FRAPS?

Low everything but medium textures.

18-30fps

everything high, ultra textures.
~50-70fps,

Resolution plz?

 

[houe]

lol! Did you splurge on the SLi setup yet

Not yet. I really don't like any of my options all that well. Might give up the idea of 3 monitor gaming for the time being...

everything medium and special effects off. averaging 40 on metro with dips on the large outside battles to about 30. playable but could be better.

Really on top of your game aren't you?LOL

There will be plenty of time between now and the 25th of october for everyone including myself to make some final upgrade...plenty of time for those special folk with the extremely large e-peen to show off their $1,000 sli system to play one game too :thumbsup:

Starting to find having to only use the 2x deferred MSAA as not too pleasant. There is a lot of visible aliasing to the point it hinders gameplay around fences and whatnot. 4x MSAA fixes it but I get stuttering because my cards run out of memory.

The post AA setting (MLAA/FXAA) is horrible because it blurs the entire image and all the textures and I don't like the effect.

Why does this game use so much freaking VRAM ? Maybe Dice can do something with the release version to bring down the memory usage. Wishing I had 2GB cards to play this game.

Where are the 28nm cards. :sneaky:

you are correct. I will fix my post.

No blurring with post AA medium here.

Guess I won't be playing that @ 1080p with my 5750. Time for an upgrade

I was playing with my old overclocked 5750 last night,I used 1600x1200 on my kids system. With high settings the game was at least smooth playing and looked fine.

 

[Stuka87]

You could download the latest drivers and give the BF3 beta map Metro a go and come back with your results i know i would be thankful cause while i want a 2gb 6970 i can wait till next gen and BF3 does not care about DX10 all that much and i want a 5770 to hold me over.

Medium on whatever resolution would be very helpful to me and others if you could

I already posted my results with a 512MB 5750 on the first page.

You should overclock that 5750, I have my kids at 890 core/1360 memory for this game. :thumbsup:

Overclocking my q9550 to 4 ghz and pumping my gtx460 up to 950 core, my gameplay is smooth as butter @ 1900x1080 all settings high.

Seems I might sqeeze by with this game and hold on to my gtx460 a little longer.
I don't think going from high to ultra settings is worth buying another card for me.

I must say this q9550 cpu was the best 150$ I ever spent. Mt gtx460 might last me a year, which is also a record.

I will try ultra settings and fraps when I get more time.

I think our definitions of smooth may be a bit different. The game is not horribly jerky, but it is far from smooth (I consider smooth to be 60fps+). The 512MB of memory really limit it. Its playable on Metro for sure, as I have been playing it a lot and doing well. However on Caspian Border it drops to around 20fps and is unplayable (IMO)

Mabe because my 5750 card is 1gb or is 20%+ faster than yours?

My game plays smooth, after 10+ years of gaming, I know what a smooth ,non jerky gameplay is. 60 fps means nothing to me, thats just a e- peen thing for some people, and with most games overkill. Crysis games will look smooth with fps in the 30's.

I generally like 40 fps min ,just to be safe.
Except for some racing games, I don't SEE the difference from 40 to 60fps.

 

[Stuka87]

*shrug* I like to have VSync on to prevent screen tearing, which requires 60fps. In a lot of games I don't need anything more than 40fps. But in FPS, which I have been playing since around 94, the more FPS the better. Although this is more true to some games than others. Such as Quake World and Quake 3 Arena, which have physics tied directly to frame rate. So the more frames you get, the faster you can move and jump.

Your 5750 being 1GB card will certainly help it. But I dont see it running the real BF3 maps well. And by real I mean the very large outdoor maps. Metro is very small and runs much better than the large maps do.

Whoops.

Playing at 1680x1050 on my 2407WFP, 1900x1200 takes about a 8-10 FPS dip, which is too much for my setup to take.

Core 2 Duo Conroe @ 3.0
4GB Mem
XFX 4890 @ 900 core

everything medium and special effects off. averaging 40 on metro with dips on the large outside battles to about 30. playable but could be better. I'm able to do well but I think thats more because I know how to flank people and I've been playing BF since 1942. Some ppl def have the edge on me as far as quick, close-in battles..

ESPECIALLY with that cheap ass UMP-45 all the "leet-bros" use.

Well its my kids 5750 now , she will be fine with her 720p monitor even with large maps.
At her current core speed she is easily at 5770 speeds and the memory clock is out of this world @ 1360.

I will probrobly just settle with high settings with my rig, unless the release version of the game kills my current fps with my gtx460 @ gtx560ti+ performance.

I cant get the buttons to map, thats my biggest problem right now.

 

[skipsneeky2]

Anyone doubting a 5770/6770 could do 1680x1050 on medium with no eye candy with 55 fps average or better?

See some useful 5750 posts and appears BF3 really renders any dx10 card useless.

Idk if i'm crazy but i would think a 9800gtx would have the lead on a 5750 but looks are deceiving it appears .

Toyed with a gtx460 and idk if that was driver related but even 1680x1050 on low it had problems averaging 50fps...in my experience .

Ahh 720p, that makes all the difference. Mine runs it super smooth at 720, but my display is 1080, so it looks horrible. But yeah it should be fine and quite smooth at 720.

 

[Makaveli]

I was playing this last night and it run well on my rig at 1920x1200. I left the settings on auto so i'm pretty sure most were on high and not ultra. I will retest when I get home from work.

I'm using the 11.10 beta drivers and no major complaints. And very glad I have a 2GB vram card after seeing all the post about high memory use.

 

[yours truly]

The BF3 alpha needed a minimum of 4gb of ram, which dropped to 2gb for the beta.

I'm sure we'll have a huge patch on release which hopefully will optimise our gaming further.

It's not the performance which is bothering me, it's the amount of bugs.

fwiw I get at 1920x1200 or 1080p - everything set at default high*:

45(ouch)-75 outside
65-95 inside

Switching between 1920x1200 to 1080 gets me no extra fps, one or two maybe but it's very minimal.

* haven't overclocked my card.

btw lehtv, I'm trying to listen to your advice by not getting another card, but my stupidity is getting the better of me!

If this is a game you're planning on playing, and playing on the big maps, you're going to want another card unless you are ok with playing on medium.

Caspian Border gave me a 40% FPS hit from the Metro map.

But your thought on waiting for the retail game is a good one, they may improve on performance.

They better,they are claiming bare min requirements are a 8800gt...my 9800gtx in open beta is barely playable and hearing those claims of a 40% hit will basically render 8800gt/9800gt users out of the run on Caspian border.

They need to up the min requirements or meet up and get performance up there.

Caspian border might run at 35fps or so on 1024x768 but come on thats not even playable for most....

Edit:Not everyone is gonna blow $1,000 or $1,400 on sli and tri sli setups

Caspian Border was ok on my rig. I loved it! I left it to auto, I think everything was high but 2 settings which were ultra. It seemed smooth, and I didn't notice much of a difference - but wasn't using fraps.

I think I'd rather drop the settings down to medium and have smoother gameplay than high settings and low fps.

Am I right in thinking, a monitor at 60hz would limit my framerate to 60fps? Would another GTX 580 be lost on a monitor like mine?

edit: just as a side note, I did notice something that irks me. Sometimes when I look up or down, I get a horizontal line near the top of the screen. Not a solid line and it's only there for a split second, I'm not sure what it is - screen tearing? I sometimes get it on other things like youtube. Not a huge issue but it does annoy me a little.
