Bf3 in 3d help

[5lider]

Hi guys I'm having some issues with bf3, it only seems to be when playing in 3d with all settings on ultra. While playing between a rock and a hard place level I got frames as low as 10 with loads of stutter and it crashed with direct x message saying it ran out of memory and to make sure gpu had more then 512mb memory, after re loading it playing OK. I checked gpu temp and the Max it got was about 88c, I'm running a gtx680 x2 sli with i7 3770k of 4.6ghz thanks for any help

88 oC is hot, I have dual 570s and they peak at 65 oC. Sounds like an overheating issue to me, does performance improve if you remove the OC from your processor? You may have overdone it.

the max temp for that card is 98'c so at 88 it shouldn't be throttling. my guess is its the cpu oc causing it to throttle. likely your hsf cant react fast enough to the temperature change so it may spike and cause the cpu throttle to click in. reduce the oc to 4.2 or less and see what happens.
