BF3 Beta Stuttering

[trogdor796]

So I played the BF3 beta for the first day pretty fine, with a mixture of medium and low settings. Was getting like 40fps so all was good. However, lately whenever I attempt to play it I get massive freezing and stuttering. Like the fps is good and everything, but it will consistently freeze every about 10 seconds for like a millisecond to a full second. It makes the game unplayable.

I have no idea what is causing it. The guys on the BF3 forum keep insisting I don't have a good enough pc to play, they say specifically my gpu lacks enough vram, but I find this very hard to believe for the following reason. I turned every single setting to low, and lowered my resolution all the way down to 1280x720. The freezing STILL occurred. Told this to people on BF3 forums and they just keep telling me to buy a new graphics card, even though it's above the min-requirements.

Another thing that I find odd, is how much resources this game uses. Measuring with coretemp's gadget, each core of my cpu is at 85%-90% usage, while my RAM goes up to 85%. IMO, that's ridiculous for a single game. Now I have 8GB Ram, and only 32bit, but even so, a single game should not use that much. Do you think it's simply because BF3 requires Battlelog(P.O.S.) and Origin(also P.O.S., but not as bad...) to be running in background?

So do any of you have any idea?

Specs :
2500k@4.4Ghz
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
4870 512mb
OCZ ModXStream 500W PSU
1680x1050
W7 32bit(I know I am not benefiting from all my RAM, gonna get 64bit soon)

That is the first step, get a 64 bit OS, so you can use all that RAM. Only after that, see how the game responds. And the game is still in beta stage with a lot of kinks still to be worked out, so my advice is do not just upgrade your video card yet, wait for the final release of the game. Also, what you can do in the meantime, is get rid of the all the background programs that could slow you down, like AV, unnecessary processes, set the pagefile if you don't have it already.

If things aren't going to improve after all that and after the final release, you could upgrade your GPU, although as of now, your system should be able to run that game, at low-medium settings, with a lower resolution too.

It's just that this game, and I know it's still beta, I know, starts to really sounds like it's not very optimized yet. I just hope it won't turn into another GTA IV.
