    Okay, I've been playing BF3 and the FPS isn't "bad", but I'd like to safely squeeze out a few more FPS if possible. I know there are threads that talk about OCing the CPU an GPU some, but could somebody provide some tips on what exactly I need to do here? Thanks

    Might help if we know:
    What laptop you have
    What your current BF3 settings are
    What FPS you currently see
    What driver version you are using currently
    etc

    Open beta was nice and smooth on he auto settings for me... That was on 11.9 drivers too, wasn't worth a non-steam $60 to me, so I couldn't tell you about retail. There other threads in BF3, you may want to poke around in those :)

    For me the 11.9 modded drives and CAP3, overclocking the gpu to 800/1100 and overclocking the cpu with the default button and with setfb helped a lot. I was testing out different drivers for the beta and i felt that 11.9 modded and CAP3 was the best solution. With this i got the best gameplay i could get and the game also is faster and better with a SSD.
