Recently I got a GTX650ti BOOST 2G GPU and when I asked around here guys said I wont have bottleneck so the problem is while I play BF3 on ultra I get some lag glitches... and on LOW i get non...
My specs are 4G ddr2 + Q9600 OC 3.2GHZ and the GPU I said ...

Could be because the DDR2 is 667MHz?

please give me some logic in this...

Im sure no one said you would be able to play on ULTRA on BF3. Thats not your CPU bottle necking, its simply the limitations of your card.

Ultra setting is for higher end computers. Set it on Medium settings with no AA and you should be fine.

Sorry but I think you are wrong... I just tried it with FRAPS to see the flrame drop and guess what, It's smooth on 60+FPS and every time I move in-game I get drop to 40FPS (happens every 3-4 seconds of smoothness -> frame drop)
So it's probably something else because that gpu is capable of ULTRA settings but there is just one thing that bothers and I want to figure out what is ...

It drops when you move, because that puts more load on the GPU.

Toms said that you need a gtx 570 to play BF3 at ultra @1680 at an acceptable framerate, which is more powerful than a 650ti boost.

You have to remember, that usually the ultra settings are for high end hardware, the 650 ti boost is a good mid range card, but not high end.

Ok well the Q9600 stay in the same line most of the time but when I get those lags I see the GPU usage drops to 50% of it's 100% (when working on rendering the display)

So was the GPU at 90-100% before? If so, that shows the GPU is the part that is maxed out at them settings, like we said.

how the MSI software can know what is my card max?
Now I tested on LOW, I get the sometimes the frames drop for shorter time (little glitching)..
Do you think if I overclock the card it will get better?
Maybe if I add 800MHz 8G ram it will help?

I just got that card :(

It might help having more RAM, 800mhz ram wont make much difference. 4Gb isnt much these days.

Have you tried the latest geforce drivers?

It could also be another process running in the background. Run msconfig and disable startup of anything you dont want to start on boot, then reboot and try again.

Btw the max it got was 84% (i ment before 50% of the full100% scale)
I updated to the new drivers and used nVidia experience to optimize the game for my GPU and guess what? the optimization is ULTRA settings on all, AA also on max.. I tried closing Chrome and shutting down lots of unknown EXEs who were operating on the system (also through msconfig) and still I got the framedrop... I will try adding an additional 4G to see if it changes something unless you or anyone else got another idea?
