Nuckle are you gpu limited? you're running a 3770k Ivybridge correct?

My video card deal is odd.
EVGA SuperClocked 012-P3-1573-KR GeForce GTX 570 HD w&#47

isplay-Port (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - Newegg.com

They say superclocked but when installed EVGA Precision they show a clock speed of 732. The link says they should be at 797. I just realized that. I turned them up to 775 with no issue but I am thinking I should be running them at 797min. Confusing.

Sqyrel, what are your settings on?

Nuckle are oc'ing with the bios? Fermi bios editor guide - Guru3D.com Forums did you come across this one yet?

Sadly.. blowing money on hardware upgrades. Bastards! I'm hoping beta next week will have quite a few more optimizations and go easier on our systems.

I sat here trying to figure out how to respond to this lol, but I came up with nothing. None of my stuff is OC'd.

i7-930 2.8ghz
GTX 460
12GB Ram (mhz escapes me @ the moment)

I never notice any performance issues other then a bit of tearing when im trying to snipe @ 1.1+ KM. But you should see me fly a chopper, low to the ground, max speed, no issues whatsoever, as can be verified by all our fellow TSGers that get ferried around by me on the regular

I usually get 25-30 FPS on average in a 50-man server, otherwise smooth 60 alone. Disabling Picture-in-picture (PiP) gave me a 5-10 FPS boost.

i7-3930k 6-core OC'd from 3.2 to 4 GHz
16GB Quad-channel RAM
GTX 670 2GB

Funny thing is, I have a barely-used GTX 460 that's been sitting on a shelf for almost a year.

I set up a second monitor today. My CPU usage and GPU usage never goes about 20%. WTF?

Hell I am not bottle necked, I am not using near my available.

I like this setup:
How to: CPU and GPU usage along with FPS in-game

Looks like a pita to get up and running but it's really not.

Also MSI Afterburner is a pretty good tool. I find either work alot better than the windows monitor.
