Hi guys,
for my user review of Titan I'm currently doing some benchmarks to check for bandwidth dependence. Anyway, while doing so, I got some puzzling results in BF3 I just can't explain:
At 1080p I get 72 fps, at 1600p it's 53 fps. I'm not CPU limited in 1080p since at 720p without AA I get more fps, 90 that is. In all other GPU bottlenecked scenes the framerate at 1080p is about 60% higher than at 1600p, so I would expect ca. 83 fps, but that is not what I'm getting. So I need your help to verify these numbers, please.
The benchmark sequence in question is from the first mission "Operation Swordbreaker" in BF3. If you want to participate, please follow these steps. You should have a powerful CPU, though, something like a SB/IB@4.2-4.5 GHz.
Important: Please disable EVGA Precision of MSI Afterburner altogether. On my system their OSD incurred a 10% fps drop, so better be safe than sorry.
"E:\nvidiaInspector\nvidiaInspector.exe -setPStateLimit:0,0"
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

- Backup your own "Documents\Battlefield 3" folder and then download this file and extract it to your "Documents", replacing your "Battlefield 3" folder
http://www.mediafire.com/?1d1k2kfdk6pypae - Fix your GPU clocks at 876/3004 for core and memory respectively. You can do that by using Nvidia Inspector (NVI). Create a shortcut to the program like this: "E:\nvidiaInspector\nvidiaInspector.exe -setPStateLimit:0,2" and double click it. Then go into NVI overclocking settings, select the P2 state set 877 as clock limit.
- Start FRAPs and tick the box to stop the benchmark after 30 seconds.
- Start the game, go to the graphic options menu and set 1080p + 4xMSAA and the "ultra" preset. Leave all other options like FOV, motion blur amount etc. untouched.
- Resume the campaign and immediately after the first of the three soldiers comes in from the left, start the benchmark by pressing the appropriate FRAPS hotkey. Don't move the mouse or anything, just let it record. Please repeat step 5 to get two sets of numbers, just to be on the safe side.
"E:\nvidiaInspector\nvidiaInspector.exe -setPStateLimit:0,0"
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
