I think your running into a driver issue. The stuttering sounds like drivers. I don't believe ram at 1333mhz will cause stutter, your still getting adequete bandwidth. What drivers are you using?

EarthDog · Apr 23, 2012, 08:43 PM

+1. I was reaching on that.

At this point, Im thinking dude needs to go in to safe mode, use Driver Cleaner Pro and wipe out ALL AMD/ATI drivers, then install the latest ones.

Have you tried reinstalling BF3? Windows?

Yes I have tried an entirely knew Windows installation on an 80 GB Sata driver with 12.3 drivers installed.

swap our video card several times on that crappy motherboard? the lag may not from your system when u playing bf3, it may be your internet connection. I'd suspect those 2 things.

Just keep putting the card in and out? and I tried playing BF3 Single-Player, and I got the same amount of lag.

NOSDuco · Apr 23, 2012, 09:56 PM

Anyone still out there?

mrthanhnguyen · Apr 23, 2012, 10:00 PM

did u update punk buster manually? did u try turn on msi afterburn to see your graphic card usage during bf3? also try a command in bf3 to see your graphic card and cpu perform. it starts with something render. perforlayvisible or something that I don't remember. if u think your psu dying, why don't go to a nearest store and take a new psu to test. if not psu, then u can return it to them.

Well my graphics card doesn't only lag in BF3. It lags in all the games I have tried to play including Blacklight Retribution.

What kind of HDD is that? Stuttering could come from anything. 80gb HDD (unless it's a SSD) sounds like a very old HDD to me.

It's time you ran some stability tests like ATTO disk bench, Memtest, Intel Burn test.

It's a pretty old Western Digital SATA drive. I don't have any other HDD's to test, would creating a new partition on my current HDD be worth it?

No. Run the tests I mention above. They are all free on the web.
