so i own a gtx 670 gigabyte oc its an awesome card but on battlefield 3 when something blows up creating smoke my frames will go from 70+ down to 30ish but on my old card witch was a AMD 7850 the frames would stay the same. also my clan mates that own the gtx 670 get the same problem. so is this something to do with the card or are they able to bring out a new driver?
Thanks in advance

Well if it's happening to your friends also I think it might just be the game being power hungry.

so is there anything i can do to make it stop?

There will be a setting you can change to turn down the level of detail in situations like this one. Look through the BF3 video settings (I can't, as I don't own the game) and look for something like "particle quality".

the only thing is, is that its a gtx 670 so i shouldnt have to i mean if my older much worse card can handle y cant this?

Well, the 7850 is not "much worse" than the 670. It's hardly different at all. You may have had different settings on then, or some new, intensive setting may have become available with the installation of an Nvidia card. Nvidia and AMD use different types of specialized AA, for instance.

yea theres a big difference the 670 bf3 ultra=60+frames were as the 7850ultra= 40ish.
i know whats wrong its because AMD dont support Physx and nvidia does

BF3 does not use PhysX.
