[citation][nom]acku[/nom]My suspect list:amount of RAMstorageI doubt it's graphics related. http://www.tomshardware.com/review [...] 063-8.html The 5850 does relatively well. I've seen a limited number of scenarios where increasing RAM helps. But this only applies if you're running with 2 GB. BF3 takes up as much as 2 GB of space, and it performs a memory dump between multiplayer map loading and level loading in campaign mode. Storage could be a potential bottleneck given our results in the article. I wonder if there are background processes running that's inducing the sudden drop off.[/citation]
Ah, I should have added that. I have 4 GB of memory (1333 MHz, with a CAS I forgot but it was pretty average). I don't think that's the issue, I don't remember it spiking or filling up completely.
I just played some BF3 with GPUz and perfmon on my second screen, but it was the end of the SP, in which the maps are too small to be able to recreate the issue. However, I did notice GPU memory usage and GPU load on Ultra settings were 100%. I'll try the MP tomorrow to see if I can see what it does when I get these lagspikes, and I'll play some less taxing games to see if 100% GPU load and full GPU memory usage are normal. Thank you all for your advice so far : )
-I don't normally have many applications running in the background while playing games, other than Outlook and for BF3 of course the shitload of applications that has to be run in order to play.
