Alright so I have been working on this issue for the past couple of weeks. Within the past month or so, I have never experienced so much lag while playing BF3 and it's really getting to the point where I just don't want to play the game at all.
It's intermittent, sometimes it happens and sometimes it does not(but it happens more often than it doesn't unfortunately), but I get this weird micro-lag or stuttering, and it really just makes my gaming experience awful. When it happens it's like watching a freaking slideshow. I have played around with the settings in the nVidia control panel in almost every combination you could think of and I have updated to the newest drivers, as well as even tried some older legacy drivers just for posterity. Nothing seems to fix this problem.
I don't know whether it is the fact that it's just a symptom of V-Sync or if something in my system is causing the issue, but I want to fix it because this problem occurs in any demanding game that I play, but more-so in BF3. If it does however happen to be a symptom of V-Sync, then is there anything other than triple buffering that I could do to prevent the lag? The only thing I hate more than lag is screen tearing.
Here are my system specs:
Asus P8H61-M REV3
8GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX Blu
Intel i3-3120
MSI GTX660Ti PE/OC 2GB
OCZ 750W PSU
Dell Ultrasharp 19" Widescreen, 1440x900 @ 75Hz
Also, I feel like at this resolution and with this hardware I shouldn't even be having any issues with framerates at all.. it isn't even full 1080p. The worst part is that when I play BF3, my framerates are ALL OVER the place throughout the game, even with V-Sync enabled both in the nVidia control panel and in BF3. And when I say all over the place, I mean it's typical for my framerates to go from 75, all the way down the 42, and in some cases, even lower. Not to mention, I still have this problem when I set all of the video settings to the lowest possible settings.
I just can't figure this shit out, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
