I was running 1080p, Standard settings for Unigine with high and default AA i believe it was 4x

BF3 was the default Ultra settings. Not custom.

No two 560 ti's go beyond the performance of a 580. But the 580 would have more vram unless you have two 2GB models of the 560 ti's. Yes i tested 64 player Gulf of Oman. But yea i'll run it again. But if you have a question about the performance Coold. Please Add me on Battlelog. Its always nice to have someone to play the game with, when benchmarking. And i don't mind answering questions

Get a 670. I was running EVGA precision x while benchmarking, and the amount of vram i used would just max out a GTX 480/580. On single player BF3 would max a 570's vram (not 2gb model). When i went to multiplayer, i checked at was using 1.5 Gb's on vram on Ultra

I tested:
Metro 2033 Benchmark (Needs to be worked on currently, having some issues with the program)
Unigine Heaven:
Avg fps: 55 fps (Orginally 44, but after i overclocked the base clock by 70 mhz, and the memory by 200) I went up to 55 avg fps and a score of 1331

Battlefield 3: With Adaptive Vsync, i get about the same, sometimes it levels at 60fps playing on ultra. You can see it dip sometimes to 40 or 30 but for the most part as long as you use Adaptive vsync, the game play will remain smooth.

Those are all the games i have been able to play so far.

If you want to keep near 60 fps in BF3 tun game AA off and turn on FXAA from nvidia control panel. I get 60 to 80 fps in multiplayer with my 680, you should be able to stay close to that fps

SO is that how you get that FXAA thing to work. I know TXAA is supposed to fix the jaggies but when i turned it on, the fences on caspian border still look fake. Ill give it a run when i get home

 

[darksalvatore]

Davemaster84

do you get same 30-40 fps dips on full ultra 4x msaa ?
i think it's game bug ... AA don't have to take that much ....... it will take only extra 10-15 and you have to get like 45-50 dips only ... not terrible 30 or 35 ;/


FXAA is implanted in game .... so turning on FXAA on nvidia control panel gives nothing .......

 

[Rockdpm]

Well thats what i thought...

 

[davemaster84]

Go to nvidia control panel, 3d configuration and scroll until the last option. It comes disabled by default so you need to turn it on. Beyond that I think it trully works, besides most games at 1080p don't need so much aa (specially bf3) only if the textures are a little harsh (like mass effect 3 character's clothing) and the performance gap is just huge.

Salvatore I didn't know it was planted in the game, but give a try without any aa, the only time I get low fps (50) is when I die and the class selection screen shows (I don't think it matters at all)

 

[Rockdpm]

I'll try it when i get home but.... BF3 is just nothing but a bunch of texture packs....

 

[darksalvatore]

Davemaster84

then gtx 680 has 50 fps dips and gtx 670 30-40 ? 🙁 that's bad ............




With no AA i can run bf3 on ultra even with my old gtx 460 amp edition 810 mhz .... sure i god 30-45 fps only ... but still no dips below 30 ...

 

[davemaster84]

I had a gtx 460 1gb sli and even overclocked to 820 ghz I couldn't run it at ultra with no aa in multiplayer, at least for a decent gameplay. I only use aa for posting benchmarks but of course that's personal.

 

[Rockdpm]

I recommend only playing on the settings your hardware can handle. For a 460, i only recommend medium. Just because its gonna give you positive game play. If you have two 460's play the game on high. But for ultra, You need somthing beyond a 460 tag

 

[davemaster84]

I never said I play the game in medium, I just don't see why you should use aa if your resolution is 1920 x 1080, you wont notice the changes (if the game is good) but your machine will. Besides I can't snipe anymore below 60 fps 😛

 

[Rockdpm]

Yea but... Once you turn AA off, you might as well go play the game on a console..

 

[darksalvatore]

Rockdpm

+1


if i will buy card for 400 or 500$ ... i want to paly BF3 on 4x msaa nad full ultrra .....ifi can't then i can just buy gtx 560 and play on ultra with no AA ;/

 

[Rockdpm]

No a 670 is doing it for me... Ill do some more testing when i get home. You guys are free to join me

 

[darksalvatore]

Rockdpm

it will be good if you upload some video with fps .. some karkand map with 64 palyers .... and try to fly areound to render whole map ....



for showing fps there is a console command you know

render.drawfps 1

....

and it's better if you don't use fraps or any software for recording .... just use small camera from phone or idk ... just some camera ))

let's see what little kelper can )

 

[Rockdpm]

you got your GTX 670?

 

[darksalvatore]

Rockdpm

no .... i will buy it on this weekend .. but it will take 2-3 weeks before arrive my county .... it will be send from USA to my country ..... we have gtx 680 only and it costs like 650$ ........
