I'm having problems with A2 and A3...i have an i7 4820k (3.7 GHz base), gtx 780 (3GB), 16 GB RAM (1866), SSD, Windows 8.1 and i get 20 FPS or less on multiplayer in both games while my buddy has an i5 (3.2 GHz) a GTX 745, 8 GB RAM and he gets 50-60 frames...i'm so confused and i've tried so many different forums/boards lol...any help would be greatly appreciated
-Turn off some things in your settings. Read this so you can turn things off.
Objects:more lower more fps.stress your cpu/gpu
Terrain:more lower more fps.stress your cpu/gpu.the difference between low-standard is game changer in gameplay.+ You wont see ,buggy' rocks/buildings on terrains from far distance.(even on standard)
Shadow:LOW shadow use CPU, Standard and above shadows use GPU, and the game without shadows looks crap+shadow can give You the spot of an enemy.
Visibility distances: LOL WUT the most demanding setting, uses Your Cpu mainly, especially Object distance.
Over all
landscape) more lower more fps
Object
infantry,car etc) more lower more fps, Important update: using above 500m distance, texture quality/Level of Detail changes to worse, they rly need to fix this...
Shadow: more lower more fps
all the settings below stress only GPU
Particles:more lower more fps.Very demanding feature.(I think this is way to much performance loss, and it is buggy/unoptimized, since my vga lags even if I have 500mb free ram left), I can use only low particles, otherwise game can lag hard in some situation.
Clouds:I guess more lower setting give You more fps, but it is hard to notice.
PiP:this feature improved a lot in performance since alpha in My opinion and this feature is totally useless most of the time, but drops fps when You use vehicles (but not so much as before). Useful in some cars, submarine, for helicopters this is totally useless.(I am speaking in first person view here, when You play third person view this feature is just eyecandy doesnt affect gameplay)
If You dont have strong GPU or You not a pilot, You better set this off, but again some vehicles doesnt even need this feature when You are in first person view.
HDR:more lower more fps.Stress Your gpu.You cant set off hdr sadly, low hdr is more then awful, you will be forced to use standard hdr.It has impact on gameplay it is not just eyecandy atleast.
Dynamic lights:more lower more fps.This affect gameplay, and You should use atleast high if You can.The fps drops are not big.(high can be gamechanger at night)
Display mode:use Fullscreen, however windowed mode can give extra fps in some games.
Resolution: use native resolution (Your monitor highest resolution) or 1280*720.Lower resolution more fps.
Aspect ratio: leave this on deafult unless You have problems with the auto detection, this wont affect fps at all.
Vsync: always disable this for all games. (atleast for Me
it does big input lag)
Interface size: leave on default otherwise You will notice You cant see some UI/HUD ingame.
Bloom: set this off (0) to have better graphics and better fps.
the 2 blur: in theory blur affects fps a lot so set this off to 0.however I never noticed fps drop even if I set this to 200.Unlike, I noticed in Crysis 1 or Bf3 dont remember xD.
Depth of Field: My experience is this give you more fps when 100 or 200 or has no impact on fps.If you set this to more then 30 You can have graphical glitches.I use 5 that acceptable for Me and looks good.Anyway game looks worse, more depth of field You use in my opinion.Set this 0 if You want clear image.
AO
ambient occlusion), set off for more fps
Cauistics: in theory, set off for more fps.(You can see this feature under water only) this feature doesnt change performance for my card and, while you play around water or there is no ground in near, your fps will rise up anyway so you should easily enable this one without any problem.
FSAA:more lower more fps.It is recommended to use atleast 2x. When i spawn in editor I have the exact same fps(with My custom settins), when it is disabled or when it is on 8x with my custom settings.(over 80 fps)
Atoc:more lower more fps.
PPAA:more lower more fps.Never noticed any fps difference on(any setting) or off, it is highly recommended You use atleast standard-high otherwise game visual image looks way to blurry...I use FXAA here not SMAA, SMAA looks same bad as when set off almost.
Aniso filtering:more lower more fps.However recommended is standard-high atleast.very low performance hit.Otherwise game textures are very blurry (look floor texture).
Also just note that playing on higher resoluiton wont fix how the game looks bad without FSAA and PPAA disabled, even if You use higher rendering resolution+standard resolution, not to mention these are big fps eaters and You need big monitor....
