What settings battlefield 3 should be played on GTX 580?

[mohammad_sanoussi]

Hi I just got BF3 yesterday and was wondering what is the recommended setting to play BF3 especially in MP.

Should AA be 4X MSAA or 2X MSAA and what about vsync on or off?

I played SP and my fps was between 54-72 fps in Ultra Vsync off.

Also, the option "Raw Mouse Input" is on, should I leave it enabled?

My setup is:

1920x1080 60Hz

intel core i5 2500k

8Gb RAM DDR3

EVGA GTX 580 SC

I look forward for your feedback

Thanks in advance

Maximum settings. I never really changed any of the other settings apart from Setting everything to ultra and turning motion blur off.

I was averaging over 60. I used fraps right at the beginning and I don't remember the fps dipping below 40 on any of the larger maps.

Was vsync on or off?

Off. I don't see the need to have it turned on because I haven't noticed any screen tearing and the gameplay is as smooth as silk.

So do u recommend me playing BF3 MP in ultra with 4x MSAA? Does turning off motion blur effects fps?

Sorry for the amount of questions I just need to be sure.

Thanks

No problem mate.

Yep I play with 4x MSAA, so I would recommend it. Motion blur doesn't affect FPS as far as I know. I only turn it off because I find it annoying.

I play on high. I get around 80 fps, i cant really tell the difference between ultra and high. When you play you wouldnt notice the difference anyway so the extra frames is always nice to have.

most games these days set themselves to recommended setting for your setup. Changing them is preferred settings and what each person likes and doesnt like, So asking a question like this is kinda loaded imho. Best bet is to try each and set it to what you like. I myself just set it to high or ultra lol cant exactly recall. and run with it and see how it plays out.

Would agree there, set it to max w/out Motion Blur, you're good to go, fps should be fine, if you wanted rock solid 60fps you can turn a couple settings down but I've never had an fps dip during multiplayer combat.
