Can't Handle BF3?

bigtyme07 · 05-26-12, 02:05 PM

So I just got BF3 because it was half off today and I was playing online and I couldn't make it run smooth at all unless all the graphics were turned down to the lowest setting. My ping was 32. Now I know I don't have all the best components in the world but shouldn't I be able to run it perfectly fine at least higher than all low settings with what I have?

Could be an SLI issue. Other than that, I would imagine it would run quite smoothly on your system. I would look up known issues with sli 470s.

Where did you buy it for half off? and yea other then that the only reason i would say is that you don't have enough vram but unless your playing on 2+ monitors it shouldn't really matter

bigtyme07 · 05-26-12, 07:30 PM

I should have plenty of power to run that game... It run's everything else perfectly including crysis 2

BF3 has SLI/Xfire issues.
I had a X58A-UD3R
i7-930
gtx 470 1.2gig PNY
And ran the game on high but I had the HMBO off or what ever it's called and FSAA at like 2x.

bigtyme07 · 05-27-12, 04:05 AM

so you think it's the game that has compatibility issues with sli?

Horrerblade · 05-27-12, 11:17 AM

Yea i think u can turn sli of in the nvidia c panel

bigtyme07 · 05-27-12, 06:29 PM

okay I guess I'll try that... That sucks :/ I wish games would come out with better support for SLI and x-fire set-ups

Horrerblade · 05-27-12, 06:42 PM

Its just that it cost more to code with it and the # of people that have those extreme setups is little to none compared to everyone else so its better for them to just not support it if that makes any sense

bigtyme07 · 05-28-12, 05:19 AM

yeaa I suppose still sucks though haha well I'll try it out and get back to you guys to see if that fixed it

bigtyme07 · 05-28-12, 02:54 PM

Ya guys it runs sooo much better with 1 card rather than sli... how can I tell if a game is compatible with sli or not?

Horrerblade · 05-28-12, 03:00 PM

Google it you would just Google known issues of a a game. when you play a game and it starts to act up then you just Google known issues.

Whats the exact issue with dual GPU setupts?

bigtyme07 · 05-29-12, 06:49 PM

there's nothing wrong with a dual GPU set up, it's just that some games don't like it...
