    So i was playing BF3 beta for the past few days and i lag like hell. Like i get like 20 fps on 1400x900. I am running the beta 285.38 drivers i think it helped, not too sure on that. Right now I am playing at low settings for everything and 1024x768 to get like 40 fps. Specs of my system are in my signature

    I've seen those low fps on my machine a few times, but I never seem to lag.

    My avg would be 24-25 fps outdoors (Ultra). The game still runs smooth. I'm using native resolution of 900p.
