    Hello ,

    I saw several topics for " BF Perf on this " or " Bf perf on that " , but there's no topic only to share the tweaks you found that makes the game runs better !

    On my config ( you can find on my sign ) , i overclocked my GPU to 900Mhrtz.

    Then , i use thoses consoles commands :

    XXX Value depends on something like pre render of GPU / CPU. Change this value from ( -1 to 6 imo ) to change a few fps

    Default 1024 , this seem to have boost my FPS a bit.

    and

    This gave me a HUGE boost , you should give it a try.

    just use
    to have FPS on screen ! Share with us what settings / console command give you a boost !

    With thoses commands , i was able to get 50-60 FPS All the time ( most 58-60 ) with medium / high settings ! ;)

    I haven't found a way to keep console settings or to boot up with them, if anyone has input I'd be grateful as well.

    Save the settings in a user.cfg file, put it in BF3 directory.

    I read this on other forums , but it seems that i doesn't work for me.

    I'll try to do a video of it , but with my poor internet , i'll have to wait for something like 5 days to upload an HD gameplay video ...

    But i'll try to do it.

    Anyway , after the game was restarting and try thoses tweaks , the game seems to be crappy and laggy ...

    I'm really glad of this found wich , imo , boost smoothness way better than driver update did with 285.62 !

    Give it a try , you won't be disapointed ! Must have for me.

    Autobump ! I see around the net that BF3 is somehow messing with i5/i7 Hyperthreading. I suppose this is something we enable / disable from the BIos , but the G74 is ... kinda empty. Any ideas ?

    @Villani : I didn't see your message ! Here's my settings :

    [​IMG]

    Yes , my GPU is overclocked at 900 Mhrtz , no i still use the latest official drivers.

    As we have the same GPU / CPU , can you post yours ?
