I do have a ssd but bf3 is not installed on it, i set up the ssd awhile ago but basically the ssd is just the boot device and everything i download/install goes straight to the hdd. I have just sold my 670 at a decent loss lol, sold it for $250, and i will be picking up a 7970 tomorrow @ $410, so i hope that solves the issue and it was bad drivers on nvidias part. If not i will be in the market for a 3570k, and if that doesn't work i will be looking at getting a bigger ssd. None of this is cheap. lol.
