I was just wondering what type of FPS i should get with a gtx 660 on max settings and what FPS everyone else gets.

I've discovered you need to TWEAK quite a bit for performance and preventing stutter.

*I noticed if I did NOT use anti-aliasing I got much better performance, and there was already anti-aliasing being used that I couldn't modify which looked great. So again, NOT using MSAA at all was the biggest thing to boost frame rates.

You may wish to try 1600x900 instead of 1920x1080 as well.

Also, if possible run at 50FPS instead of 60FPS.

*One problem for me was SEVERE TEARING with VSYNC OFF. If I turned it ON then my performance would feel sluggish because it actually synchs to 30FPS when 60FPS can't be maintained. So when I finally managed to tweak to stay ABOVE the target refresh things were pretty smooth.

Intel i5 3570k
MSI Z77MA G45
Gamer series 880w psu(this could be it caus ive never really heard of them)
and some random 500 GB harddrive by seagate plan on upgrading to 2 TB or maybe even 6 cause i have like 4 hard drive slots in my case. i was looking on the internet and it said something about turning adaptive v sync off so id idid and i got about a 20 fps boost but it just went down back to like 12 after that.
