Lagging in bf3

[Bang]

That sounds like a good idea. Look at the 3570k for gaming. Theres lots of reviews/comparisons and its a smokin fast little cpu. Chuck in an MSI Z77A-GD65 and some ram and youll be a happy camper again.

Just an idea, but with your V-Sync and other settings: Leave them on Controlled By Application. It might help in not confusing the drivers as to which setting to pay attention to, the games or the Driver.

In msconfig do the selective start up, then click the Startup tab and deselect anything you know for sure you dont need loading on bootup. Things like Realplayer and Realplayer update, phone software, be it Ipod, Iphone, Kies (for samsung) and things like that which do nothing but suck up system resources.

Also, as someone else said, get the latest drivers.

Can you guys help me before I make that move?
How can I be sure that once I switch motherboard and cpu, the problem will be solved?
Right now I have horrible lags during any game I play, with 50fps and above.. it feels like 30fps tbh.. however when I record with fraps on 50fps the video has alot better quality and is smoother, why is that?
I've been testing my ram and cpu with prime 95 for hours, no errors...Memtest86 for 12hours... this is frustrating, I don't know what's wrong with my rig...

hetro is the processor overclocked? at all, cause bf3 is highly multi threaded game i suggest you overclock the cpu much as possible so its less a bottleneck with the video card, for example i have a phenom II 965 BE at 4.35ghz now bf3 runs like butter, when at stock i experienced sort of the same issues as you, hope this helps good luck

It is overclocked, but slightly... I get tons of BSoD when I go more than 3.8ghz
so right now it's on 3.6

ok letting us know your system specs will help us out more, and for starters is this with a stock cooler and whats the motherboard

Motherboard: GA-770T-D3L
I have a scythe mugen 3 cooler, but the temps are still quite high, not sure why.

to be honest that motherboard is not the greatest for overclocking due to the vrms are bare with no heatsinks and 5+1 phase, so i suggest two options either look for a better board with heaksinks around the vrm like a M5A97 R.20 for example!! in which its 8+2 phase power and will allow you to push the phenom II 965 to higher clocks, or second the cheaper way is overclock the north bridge to 2600-2800 and 3800mhz on cpu

Try turning on VSYNC. If the 560Ti has adaptive VSYNC then enable that. I was getting tons of stutter in BF3 with my 570 SLI setup and that helped. The problem could be the amount of VRAM you have on your card. My 570's were only 1.2GB and BF3 usually maxes that out and causes it to stutter.
