In regards to the GFX, I think that maybe having MSI Afterburner running is causing my issue, but fark, I haven't had this many problems with a game since trying to make Call of Duty 1 work with my old ATi

That's your problem right there, I've heard others have had the same problem. Pretty much all monitoring programs (eg Fraps) are causing problems with BF3.

I'm running everything on high except ultra textures, SSAO instead of HBAO and NO motion blur (I hate this setting, is it just me?), gets me a solid 75+ fps :happy:

anything above 1680x1050 the cpu differences are close to none, tests with 2 core vs 8 core cpus showed 7fps difference, when going to 1080 its something like 3fps. tested with 16gb machines and high end GFX cards.

Sooo... since I'm still using a ancient 19" standard LCD with a res of 1280x1024, can I expect close to constant 60fps with my GTX 570 on a high/ultra setting?

That would be sweet.

LOL you are running half of it on Medium? No wonder its fast!

Can ya set it to 'high' by the default selector and see what it does?

Cause you seem a lot higher and there isn't major differences between the 5850 and 6950 aside from the usual performance gains, but not over 25fps surely.. hence maybe I really am CPU fked!

I've run FRAPS without a problem?

It performs the same no matter what for me and bogs in the same places (co-op) :)

on my setup, i ran the command render.drawfps 1 in battlefield to show FPS, i got an absolute minimum of 38fps and tops of 60fps. guess the 60fps is my monitors limit, i never see any games go above 60fps.

this was with everything ULTRA, MSAAx4, AFx16, FOV 90 motion blur maxed and Vsync off. running it on 1920x1080.

not too shabby i guess.

i don't know Ash you don't see as many moving objects in campaign as what you see in a 64 person server

Ye but the servers don't have as much going on in terms of map detail compared to the campaign.

Given my FPS is higher in online even with my moderately old card.

might have to run that command and jump into a 32 player server... i jumped into the singleplayer and it was running SMOOOOOTH at 1080p, everything on Ultra.

If you hold down Ctrl+Alt+S it shows your framerate.

I get higher FPS in single player FWIW.

No worries, will try and give it a blast tonight, do some SP and some MP.

....This kills me to admit it, but as much as I've been looking forward to this, I haven't really played it at all.. I loaded up the SP, played up until you shoot the RPG at the sniper (like in the initial trailers), and haven't played more.. GOTTA STOP PLAYING WOW AND PAYDAY

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
