Battlefield 3 Frame rate check in.

Didn't see a post on BF3 Frame rates per machine, lets see where abouts folks are with their rigs. I for one am thinking of upgrading.

Settings 1920x1080
Texture: Ultra
All other settings: High
HABO: On
AA: Off
AF: 16x
Motion Blur: On

Average: 40-45

 

Anyone else?

 

Ultra settings across the board, no AA, 720p, 50-60 fps in single player

 

System: Clevo P170HMx
GPU: Nvidia GTX 580M (Slight OC)
CPU: i7 2920XM 3.5GHz
Memory: 8GB
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Drivers: 285.62 WHQL

Game Resolution: 1920x1080
Textures: Ultra
Terrain: Ultra
Terrain Details: Ultra
Effects: Ultra
Rest: High

Antialiasing Deferred: Off
Antialiasing Post: Low
AF: X2
Motion Blur: Off
AO: SSAO
Vsync: Off

Never under 40fps in SP (Usually between 45-60).

MP: 35-50fps outdoors / 45-70 fps Indoors

Only time fps drops below 30 is when I'm in a tank and people are shooting rocktets at me or if a another tank misses right in front of me. I'm thinking of reducing everything back to High since I'm pretty sure I'd benefit more from the extra frames rather than the very subtle graphical improvement.

What I'm curious here is which settings uses up most resources? I'm pretty sure the different AA/AF's are not needed at this resolution (from what I've heard) but I could be mistaken.

FOV: Default

 

The Specs are on my sign.

Playing on Native 1920x1080
Textures on ULTRA (this load the FHD Textures and make the game look amazing!)
Everything else on High.
AA off (since I'm playing on native ress, this is not very useful).
Ambient occlusion HABO On (this one also helps a lot on DX 11, I wonder if the game is running on DX11...)
AF: 2x (I dun see much difference with this over 2x)

I get Avg 50~60 FPS, lowest 35 highest 90.

If I apply a 15% overclock on my GTX 580M I get 60+ avg and 109 Top so I can get the best of the 120hz pannel with minimum temperature increase (76C top with OC and fn+1 active)

 

Just tried it with all settings on ultra, 1080p, no AA, and Vsync ON (i hate screen tearing!) with my gtx 485m overclocked to 660/1320/1600.

Got anywhere between 35-48 fps, temps stayed between 77-84 degrees. Very very nice!

 

It depends on the map.
Ultra settings no AA I get 40-60 fps on small maps like Metro.
On Caspian Border it's around 25-40 same settings.

System: Clevo P170HMx
CPU: Intel Core i7 2720QM 2,2 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6970m @ 710 MHz Core & 1000 MHz Memory

Graphical settings:¨
1920x1080
Textures set to Ultra
AF set to 16x
AA off
Motion blur disabled
SSAO on, but HBAO doesent impact framerates that much.
Rest of the settings are at low.

My FPS hover around 60 but never goes below 50.
Also gives me improved visibility so i can spot airplanes through the sunflare.

The Specs are on my sign!!Running latest cat 11.10 WHQL!!

All settings Ultra!!
HABO:On
AA:Off
AF:16x

Average: 35-45
if i overclock 800-1000 fps goes average 40-55

here are my temps afte one hour with 800-1000 overclock!!room temp is 23 celsious!

 

Here's the 1080p, ultra settings video i made.

Battlefield 3 - Ultra settings and 1080p on GTX 485m - Thunder Run - YouTube

 

What kind of FPS can I expect on ultra/high settings for this setup on a P151HM1 Lotus from MALIBAL?

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM, 6MB L3 Cache, 2.2-3.1GHz
Memory: (8GB) 8192MB, PC3-10660/1333MHz DDR3 - 2 SO-DIMM
Graphics Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 560M 1.5GB GDDR5

It just shipped today, so I should get it on Monday, or sometime next week.

 

with the gtx 560m, setting in low and medium and aa off and no hbao o ssao (i dont know what it is ) get betwen 45 to 70 at 1080p

 

i7-2760QM, 6990M OC to 790/960, 8 gigs of 1600 RAM
Textures set to high, everything else on medium, no AA or AF or SSAO.
About 60-65 FPS on average.

 

^What resolution? 1080p or 720?

 

Me? I'd be looking to play it around 720p or a bit higher if possible.

If you weren't talking to me, sorry xD

 

1600x900, High Textures, Low Shadows, everything else medium, no AA/AF/HBAO/etc.

Smooth 40-60 fps (guess; I know it's usually in the 50s) in multiplayer and it looks fantastic.

 

try oc the gfx card i got like 10 more fps with 880 core and 1500 on mem

 

Settings: All Ultra + MSAAx2 + HBAO @ 1080p
Drivers: AMD Catalyst 11.10 preview 3

Average FPS: 33
Min FPS: 22
Max FPS: 60

 

1080p

It's running alright, though I expected a bit more.

 

Ah I want to get this game but the price here put me off: 70 swiss francs!!

 

I made a video with these settings:

Resolution Native: 1920 x 1080 at 120hz
Textures on: ULTRA
Shadows and everything else on: HIGH
AA: OFF (not needed since we are playing on Native resolution)
Anisotropic filter: 4X (anything over 4 won't do any good).
Ambient Occlusion: HBAO (this also helps a lot to display the game true graphics).

As usual FRAPS steals like 30% of the frames on 1920x1080 but Its still over 45 frames while recording (over 60 when not recording) as it can appreciated:

<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q-Ivy-wQGHc?version=3&amp;hl=es_MX&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q-Ivy-wQGHc?version=3&amp;hl=es_MX&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width='853' height="480" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

I believe this is a very balanced config. on the GTX 580M to fully enjoy the 120hz screen and an average game experience.

I must say I'm pretty disappointed of this game since I normally use my 360 controller and Battlefield 3 don't fully support it. not rumble function, nor the "in game button display"... a real shame, but Oh well its alright for 4 hours play on the campaigning, I will be waiting for Call of Duty MW3

 

There is still noticeable aliasing at the native resolution, adding 2xAA wasn't a big hit in performance on the 6990

 

Yea i'm mad about the 360 controller support, check out my support topic on the BF3 site. Hit the follow button on it and comment, so the devs take notice (the more follows it gets the more likely they will patch it)

System: i7 2630M, 6990M, 8gb 1333 RAM
Game type: Multiplayer (don't ever play single player in bf games)
Res: 1920 x 1080
Textures on: ULTRA
Shadows and everything else on: HIGH
AA: Off
Motion Blur: Off
Anisotropic filter: 4X
Ambient Occlusion: Off
Vsync: On

I get between 50-60 (due to vsync) with these settings. Even on Casp Border. Smaller maps and indoors is a solid 60.

I have found that this is by far the best combination I have found for my setup and preference. You get most of the eye candy with great frames. In fact, I was finding that with everything on ULTRA, it was much much harder to spot enemies!

 

Update with the P180HM...
Specs in Sig. Stock clocks.
1920x1080 Ultra settings including AA and everything else.
35-70 fps on all maps including casp boarder.

 

I know its noticeable ^^ but if you pay attention some of the borders look even cleaner with the AA-Off on Native resolution, anyways; enabling or disabling it will only take about 2-3 fps for each 2X so its a personal decision I like to play with over 60fps so I keep it off.

 

I like the post FXAA more than MSAA anyways.

 

from reading these post is there not much point in having AA deferred and post on if you are playing on native resolution? thx

 

I play with these settings @1080p 120Hz (FOV - 75):
Everything on ULTRA except
Motion Blur off (gives me eye strain)
FXAA High (AA post)
MSAA off.
I am around 30-35 FPS most of the time and drop to 21 if a tank blows up in my face.

I dont know if you guys have seen this talk by Johan Anderson of DICE at the Nvidia Geforce Lan Party for BF3 promo.
GeForce LAN 6 - Johan Andersson Battlefield 3 Presentation Part 1 / 5 - YouTube Really worth watching; all about BF3 PC graphics.
He explains why they decided to have both MSAA and FXAA options simultaneously for the game.

I just have a general Q.

Running a Sager 8130 with:
nVidia GeForce GTX 460M 1,536MB PCI-Express GDDR5 DX11
i7-2630QM, 2.0-2.8GHz, (32nm, 6MB L3 cache)
8,192MB DDR3 1333MHz Dual Channel Memory (2 SODIMMS)


Have to run my settings on low to get 30 fps under the most taxing situations.

The big issue I have is that in most cases, there is this constant "snow" of visual artifacts raining down from upper left to lower right. Kind of like 2-3 inch darker color blobs. Seems to be worse on some maps like Seine.

Anybody else see this? I can only imagine what it's doing to my performance/framerates . . .

 

That's interesting. Did you update to the most recent drivers from Nvidia's site?

 

Yes, and just did a recheck thru their online utility: 285.62

Or as displayed in device manager 8.17.12.8562, 10/15/2011

 

Yep, that looks alright...I'll have to look into what causes that. In the meantime, even though you're on low settings, I'd suggest turning things on and off within the settings to see if it is a certain item causing those artifacts. Any other 460M users experiencing similar issues?

 

edit; removed quote, not needed

Everything on high (initially had textures on Ultra). Getting frame rates of 40-55... rarely drops to the 30's during high action.

Very pleased

 

Ok, didn´t see any X7200 user, so here we go:

All settings are on the highest level!

System:X7200
Video Card: SLI GTX 485m OC to 580m stock clocks
CPU: Intel Core i7-970
Memory: 12GB
OS:win 7 64bit
Driver: 285.62
Settings 1920x1080
All settings on ULTRA
HABO: on
Anisotropic: 4x MSAA
PAA: HIGH
MOTION BLUR: ON
Antisotrop filter: 16x


Low frame rate 41
High 62 (because of vsync on of course)
Average 52-57

It runs very smooth, but I can´t say that I am THAT impressed. Before BF3 came out, people talked about it as it would be a milestone regarding graphics... but I don´t think so. It is not bad, but not THAT good.

 

Beastly! x7200 is so awesome.

 

Hi mate, something doesnt add up.
Those average fps you get is what i get with my G53sw at 1080p, with a lower cpu and gpu.
Are you sure your system is running ok? All drivers updated etc etc? I would expect at least 40fps on a gtx485m since its an underclocked gtx580m.
Also other users with a 580m are reporting much higher framerates with same settings as you.
Isnt it strange?

 

Perhaps my reported frame rates are conservative because I merely noted them down randomly while playing the game. I now went back and ran the Fraps benchmarks. Results are as follows:

Multiplayer maps Caspian Border & Kharg Island
Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
10781, 300000, 26, 51, 35.937

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
9988, 300000, 16, 50, 33.293

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
12926, 300000, 28, 84, 43.087

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
11701, 300000, 16, 90, 39.003

Single Player: two different levels (including the jet one)
Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
1698, 44289, 33, 50, 38.339

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
64745, 1061868, 25, 114, 60.973

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
33459, 732065, 17, 124, 45.705

(Kindly ignore the max framerates for the last two SP records. They are very high because I started the Fraps benchmark during the loading screens, without thinking)

I am using the 285.62 driver set. And I'm on stock clocks only. I also only run the game with Fn+1 fans on.

 

Well now thats what i was talking about.
It was strange to me to see BF3 running at 30fps with dips to 20 as you said, pretty impossible.
Even your lowest framerate is farily higher than what you initially posted.
Which is awesome, great machine btw, many thanks for your kind benchmark!

 

You are welcome But scenes with lots of smoke just makes it drop to 16 or 17, as you can see from the results. However, while playing, I never notice it too much.

Happy battlefield-ing. ***insert BF3 buzzer noise***

 

For those with 460M's looking for any additional performance I can post my modded vbios if anyone is interested, it's based on the newer V 70.06.3B.00.08 (7/17/11) firmware and matches the 560M's stock clocks, the temperature difference is negligible.

I've been using a 560M clock matching mod of the factory 460M bios for a while but have since moved to the newer firmware revision.

Those interested let me know.
