Good deal. Things don't seem quite as smooth after my last clean OS install, but it must be in my head. These are my settings:

I have. It's a pretty significant difference between CPU and GPU on my system. Like a min of only 3-4 for CPU and 20 for GPU. Average is like 18/32. CPU line way beneath GPU and very jaggedy too, which indicates unstable performance. Id be curious to see what you get your 920 (4Ghz?). Crazyesyes with an overclocked 2500K says his lines are about synched which is what you want.

Considering these low numbers it's perfectly playable though, at 2X MSAA and High anyway. Wasn't with only 4GB RAM, for the record. Want higher AA though; need to play around with Post more and see if I can find a nice compromise between smoothness and blurriness.

It could be that you need more memory bandwidth as I play with high and 2xAA and med post and get an easy 60+ fps. Right now I have my 920 at stock, but the uncore is 3200 with the ram at 1600mhz. I've got 6x2GB dimms and don't really have any dips in fps.

Going higher then High settings in games kills my frame rate, but then you need more then 1GB of video ram per card for those settings.

What are the console commands for the CPU and GPU overlays? I have not been able to find them yet. Also what are they showing, usage? Task manager shows about 80-90% CPU usage for me.

edit: I just realized you have 2x 6850s. CPU is fine. You need more GPU power.

render.perfoverlayvisible 1

I'm not sure if this is exactly the case, but it's what I found:
It shows you the frame render time for the GPU and CPU so the lower the better. Also if the CPU graph is below that of the GPU then you are GPU limited and vice versa.

The ideal case would be GPU and CPU in sync and below 16ms, so you have >60 fps.

I never played with anything on ultra with my 5870s. Though I do notice that I dropped about 20 fps with the addition of the extra monitor I have now. When it was on just my 28", 100 fps on high with 2xAA and med post was no problem even when everything was blowing up around me.

Well Alex you too have a similarly low min on CPU what clock speed is that 2500K at and what general settings and resolution?

The i5 is at 4.4, 8GB G.Skill @1600, 5870s are at stock clocks. My general settings are in the first post on this page, and I play at 1920x1080.

Wow. Well scratch picking up a sub-$300 2500K and P67 combo at Microcenter as the quick solution to my "problem" (which I don't really want to do anyway right now for various reasons). Though I thought crazeyeyes with a 2500K at 4.5 was getting much better perf but he will have to pipe in. Though another guy started a thread about this a little while back and he had a 2500K overclocked too.

Anyone else that want to post their perfoverlaygraph results would be helpful I guess...

Mine look like Alex's (except my 920 is at stock clocks and 3200mhz uncore), so I'm pretty confident that your limitation is in the GPU and not the CPU.

I know before I hooked up my second monitor that I was tearing through frame rate with an average of 100 fps. This is all high, 2x AA, and med post in game settings.

I'm editing PROF_SAVE_profile (EA inverted stupid things) connecting to digi's server to test. I hope I got it right this time.


Edit: I'm getting somewhere. "negate" is the key. It's just a bitch to figure out which one is for controller... :D

I might have to make a program that makes this easier.


Edit: Yay! I got it. I set negate 0 on all jet Yaw and Roll as well as changed the rest of the bindings and now flying feels natural. :D

Problem is, it doesn't have an off switch so I have to pop the batteries out to turn it off. Otherwise it'd probably vibrate itself off the counter.


I'm saving my PROF_SAVE_profile so I don't have to reconfigure everything the next time I do an inevitable format.

you can turn off vibration in game setting.

Yeah, but if I'm not flying, it might as well be off anyway to preserve the batteries. Popping the battery pack off quick and putting it back on is fast and effective so I'll probably just do that.


It looks like it is gonna work. I'm keeping mouse for everything except jets.

Now I just need my headset back from RMA...

Well how could that be based on the numbers I'm seeing? Not really sure how you are drawing that conclusion. Granted I don't have anything to go on besides the perfoverlay graph.

What problems are you referring to, Wrigley? The jaggies on the CPU line are a result of crossfire, not instability - cadaveca says his graph looks like mine, which looks like mastdrver's, which probably looks a lot like yours.

Edit: Also, crazy had 2GB gpus.

what program are you guys using to gather this data?
Im curious what settings I can set mine to Max with smooth play.

GIGABYTE GV-R585OC-1GD Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro)
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM
Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz HDZ955FBGMBOX
27" HannsG 1920x1200
COOLER MASTER Hyper N 520

What are the MAx settings while still smooth for BF3 with this rig and if i can OC what settings?

Well I guess the "problem" is that it tells me (or us rather) that the minimum CPU frames is like 4 which would seem to be a bottleneck to me. My minimum GPU is like four or five times higher. I'm not talking about the jagginess of the graph lines so much as the really low numbers being reported. Though offhand I do not see how a jaggy CPU line would have to do with crossfire, got more info re. that?

Duck go into console in game and type Render.perfoverlayvisible 1 and it will show you this performance graph on screen.

You would probably do decent with settings like mine which is High + 2X MSAA (Post instead is blurry but I need to try Low). What settings are you using now?

Crossfire is more CPU-Intensive due to the extra driver overhead, and having to feed and manage both cards. As data is fed to both cards, you'll see see the "waves"(tight jaggies) in performance. These waves are less pronouced in singlecard rendering. Give it a try. ;)

my graphs look just like Alex's graphs, although mine are a bit smoother on the GPU side of things. I am currently playing on medium settings with an avg 120FPS. Clearly performacne, for me, is not really an issue, but my graphs are the same. Makes 'em kinda pointless, dem graphs.
