I have:
560ti evga vcard - 306.23 drivers
q6600 cpu
asus maximus mobo
2gb ram
cooler master 600 psu
windows 7 32bit
Charter cable internet - 50mbps download
Im running bf3 with all video settings on low 1680x1050 resolution and when im stationary or just looking around my fps is decent, around 60 fps but as i start to run through the enviroment and engage enemys my fps drops down to 10-20 fps. I play team dm and i like to quickscope and when it takes like a full second for my scope to come up that ruins the game for me. When im running the game my cpu usage is high, around 90% but never goes to 100%, my ram usage is only about 1gb. I have tryed dropping my resolution all the way to 800x600 and the lag is still there. I always pick close servers, the ping is around 30-50ms. I live in texas and alot of servers seam to be hosted here. Some people that ive talked to seam to think my cpu is bottlenecking and i need to upgrade to an i5 and as a college student without a job theirs no way i can do that. Every other game i play is just fine, not sure how graphically intense they are but borderlands 2, skyrim, diablo 3, blacklight retribution all run flawlessly at high/max settings. Maybe i need to rollback to a previous drivers version because i remember playing at medium/high and not having a problem back when bf3 came out. Does anyone have any sudjestions?
