Battlefield 3 Performance Test with Nvidia GTX 680/i7-2600- Optimal Settings, Low, Medium, Ultra

4x MSAA CUTS THE FRAMERATE IN HALF! I use 8x anisotropic filter because there is minimal difference in terms of quality at 1920x1080- likely noticeable at higher resolutions. 16x AF should have minimal impact on performance, however. Nvidia driver ver. 471.11 It stutters like crazy with ver. 399.07 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 ShadowPlay cut the video in half somehow and the last part with ULTRA without MSAA is missing but trust me, it was basically double the fps. "Optimized" 01:22 Everything set to HIGH except effects quality set to LOW and texture quality set to ULTRA With SSAO, 8X anisotropic filter, motion blur OFF "LOW" 05:28 Everything set to LOW except texture quality set to ULTRA. Ambient occlusion OFF, 8X anisotropic filter, anti-aliasing deferred set to OFF "MEDIUM" 09:22 Everything set to MEDIUM with ULTRA texture quality Ambient occlusion OFF, 8X anisotropic filter, motion blur OFF "ULTRA" 13:54 Everything set to ULTRA* with 4x MSAA and 16x anisotropic filter and HBAO Motion blur OFF Very impressed with the performance of this system that cost me very little. I got the GPU for FREE from a friend and the motherboard only cost me 49 Canadian Dollars!
