MSI ATI Radeon HD 6970 2048MB Twin Frozr III

Hi all

Im new to the forums ive popped on for a bit of advice as my problems driving me up the wall.

I just purchased the MSI ATI Radeon HD 6970 2048MB Twin Frozr III

I was under they impression that this card would run Battlefield 3 in high graphics with ease? But all i seem to get is jerky game play when things start getting graphic I.E large landscapes, Flying , A lot of smoke and effects Ect.

This seems to be the case with other games aswell, Skyrim , Batman:Arkham city. The card gets no Higher than 60c.

I've tried all sorts of graphics settings with and without AA but i don't want to turn to much down not for a £270 card?

Can anyone suggest anything?

You should be able to run BF3 on ultra I can run BF3 on high with my 6850.

Are you running the latest drivers

Is it possible that your CPU is the issue here?

This could be true, I don't know much about AMD CPUs.

Also, if you are running Batman in DX11 it has a stuttering bug that needs patching so try running in DX10 for that game.

Im running all the latest drivers, i thought the cpu would be more than enough to run this game in high?

I would have thought so too but a 6970 should easily run these games in high because my 6950 does.

The only thing I can think of is that the CPU is lacking or that these are known issues with these games with your/similar hardware.

I don't always get smooth gameplay and I am always willing to sacrifice extra effects and detail for a high smoother FPS.
