    Hi guys,

    (assume totally clean cpu/gfx with ICD7, i changed the mobo less that a week ago...)

    I got to try BF3 on a P-79xx and I was suprised how bad the game performed.
    The game has massive lag skipes-hiccups that make it unplayable even in
    low rez with all set to low. I got the newest drivers fron Nvidia but when I tried
    to downgrade to 280.26 the installation program complained that it could not recognize the device (gfx). Please note that I used Driver Cleaner pro to remove the previous drivers (and latest ones as provided by Nvidia site).

    Any help would be appreciated! Take care!
