    Yeah I've had underutilization in BF3 for a month and a half now with all drivers I've tried... there must have been an update or something since I was getting 99% utilization in late December.

    Will be installing this beta though as I'm still on 13.1. :)

    What settings are you playing on?

    If I play at ultra the utilization would always be high. But if I play at medium or low the utilization would be very unstable. And the framerate would vary from 40 to 60. In my eyes still very smooth but 12.6 driver was more stable.

    Just playing on High, getting 30% utilization if that unless there is a lot of action. Turning it to Ultra is a little better utilization but still < 30 FPS. Kind of baffles me since it was 99% utilization one day and 30% the next without me touching drivers or anything.

    Well i am back from a long a needed vacation, just installed 13.2 beta6, no issues whatsoever (it sure is nice to install a driver without so many worries!).
    My 3dmark11 got boosted marginally (from 6619 max to 6642 max), wich is nice because since 12.11 it was going marginally low (6570s region)

    3dmark11

    Since 13.1 i havent played much, but not a single BSOD as well. Will tell you if i find anything odd or extremely amusing.
