Battlefied 3 FPS

[madmeatballs]

I get unstable fps on BF3 on high or ultra it goes down to 30+ from 60+ running it on 1920 x 1080. I have the latest Gfx drivers installed. is this normal or something wrong with my gfx card. This is a new build anyway.

AMD Phenom II X6 1090t | Sapphire HD 6870 1GB | G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB 1333mhz | Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200rpm | Corsair GS700 | Fractal Design Core 3000 | Corsair A50 | Asrock 990FX Extreme 4

ur video card is FAIL for ultra settings it needs a sli 580's for ultra so ur 30+ seems ok

The other issue is VRAM. Ultra textures use up 500mb of VRAM alone according to some benches I've seen. Just drop that to High and 2xMSAA instead of 4x (or go with none) and you should see a decent improvement. You can also turn AO off for a nice FPS boost.

Hey, I have the Gigabytes HD 6870 1 GB and the game is really fluent on 1080p LG screen. On BF3, I have 45-50 fps (with i7 2600k) on high settings.
