my problem is so weird. i got my gtx 680 about a month ago and i have a 1090t cpu at 3.2ghz. when i first got the card it was running great 70fps+ on bf3 ultra but now i get like 45-50 hardly see 60fps. even on low i still get 30fps?? so weird cause i tried to see how many i got when i was getting my normal frame rate and i got 120+ on low settings for bf3.


so whats the problem? its just bf3. every other game works fin borderlands 2, hitman absolution, farcry 3 they all are getting the normal fps for a 680 and 1090t? so i re downloaded the game and even installed it on my external hdd which is 7200rpm aswell so if it was the hdd its not cause the external is only a week old. is my cpu or 680 dying? everything is fully watercooled and i get 45 degrees on the 680 when gaming. i used to get 80 degrees with the stock cooler on it and my cpu is 39 degrees so heat is not the issue. i really need help with this!

plz respond and help me figure this out.

thanks

its not network lag though. its the framerate. i dont think that a bad network can affect the frame rate that the game is running at. i need to find the solution!

oh yeah they can. if you get pink spikes your fps can drop to zero.

have you tried re-installing the driver? if that doesn't work, check whether v-sync is turned on, if so,turnit off, turn off adaptive V-Sync in Nvidia CP, if that still dont work, open Origin>My Games> BF3> right click>Repair Install
