I play battlefield 3 all settings on low @ 1920x1080 and my fps usually is 70-90, but sometimes my fps drops to 50 (very rarely even 40) and i can feel the lag when the fps goes below 60. I can play on high settings, but on intensive situations my fps starts dropping and game starts lagging and it really bothers me, I should be able to play this game on ultra settings. When I play on TDM servers where there aren't a lot of players and vehicles, I get very smooth gameplay, but when I play on servers with 48-64 people then my fps starts dropping. What is the cause of this? I see people with my specs playing the game on ultra with no problems.

Your frame are dropping because your computer can't handle the "intense" scenes. Additionally, the more players your game has the more work there is to be don't to present those players to you. Why do you think you should be able to play the game on ultra settings? Who said that? Did benchmarks? Even if benchmarks say that we have no idea what else you have running in the background. You listening to music? Downloading? Peering?

Of course, your computer can play smooth on low quality and low number of players. The more work you throw at it, the more it's going to get bogged down. That's just how it works and why people spend big money to overcome those issues.

But still, I see people with my specs running the game perfectly fine on my specs and even on ultra. I have origin, chrome and teamspeak opened in the backround. Tigerg, what do you think is bottlenecking, my CPU, GPU or something else perhaps?

Yeah, but you don't know what they are doing. When those people said they get that experience, what resolution were they playing on? How many people were playing on the server? How intense were those battle scenes? It really depends on a lot more than "someone said I should get x". You said it yourself, on low load games you do fine, but when it gets intense and complex, your computer can't handle it.

Try these things to maximize your experience: Update your drivers, make sure you have an adequate power supply, and close all non-essential programs.
