Re: New computer time!!
I don't think so. I've done some more testing and it's more like 50+ fps, I'll normally get 60 but in a gunfight it'll drop a bit.RazY70 wrote:Congratulations on the new rig
Is your HD6870 overclocked? I have a similar card and can reach 60+ frames only on low settings and not in all the maps (though my display is 1920x1200).

Oh and no color blind.. eewww
What map(s) were you testing on and were you actually looking at the number enough to see if it went lower ever? Because I don't think my 7870 barely got ~60 minimum on high.Calloutman wrote:I don't think so.

Re: New computer time!!
so if i was burnt by ATI during BF2, but do want get those specs with nvidia card till will last longest (star citizen and BF4) what should i shoot for?Calloutman wrote:Hopefully I'll be able to do some light overclocking with this. Got the more powerful PSU to cope with any future GPU upgrades which would be in the form of single card upgrades - not crossfire.

Re: New computer time!!
I've been on maps from the vanilla game, Armoured kill and Aftermath. Running around I'd be averaging about 55. When in combat maybe 50, when just running about 60-65. On Alborz I was actually averaging 65.
These are the exact settings I'm using.

Edit: @Digz, I'm not fully sure, I only looked for a cheap second hand card on Ebay to last bf3 till I buy a new card for bf4/star-citizen.

Re: New computer time!!

Hmm, I think reducing Shadow and Effects down to medium/low could achieve that. I'll test it out later.o1oo1 wrote:you need to get it to a point where you dont dip below 60 in combat
It's awesome playing at such a high resolution, however there are some annoying things. My minimap was much larger and easier to see at 1024x600

btw 01001, what's the benefit besides slightly smoother images? I'm running at around 50 as well and it works fine for me ^.^

Re: New computer time!!
Actually, I'm pretty surprised by the lack of V-Sync. Don't you find it irritating when fps changes and your screen tears?

you should see as much as your monitor ables you to see, the normal refresh rate being 60 hz , the fps should be 60 .
