Another day another patch
Game still runs about the same with fps bouncing all over the place
Still getting about 35-40 avg fps on ultra on 2 cards

Fps seems worst now then before
Iv been running on a single card for the last week and was getting about 60 fps on high
Now its down to 45 fps
Sli seems completely broken now for this game
Getting lower cpu usage and gpu usage then before

Still low GPU usage, but it seems slightly better this patch.

Performance is still not where I'd expect however and the glitches in audio acommpanied by drops to 0 FPS and 0 GPU usage still happening.

Still not playable.

I'll suffer through some later anyways just to grab some "stat perfdump" logs to send in.

If this isn't sorted by the time BF3 comes out, I can't see myself wanting to play this game much though. Really starting to regret my purchase.

I get these also where my computer hangs for 1-2 seconds

Only getting 27%-40% usage now on ultra for each gpu
30-50% cpu usage

Am I going to have to build a new pc for this game?


Heh interestingly, I'm going to be probably re-building this one soon.

It's totally a side-grade to get Sandy-Bridge from x58, but I have a friend who can use the 6-core more than me as he does CPU-heavy work and is still on a core2 quad.

If he ever decides if he wants it, I'm going to sell my x58 stuff to him and build mine back up with a 2600k.

Maybe once on a new platform with new chipset and CPU I'll have better luck winning the performance lottery with this game.

Not sure if this will happen, as we just started kicking the idea around and he's figuring out if he can even afford my "for a buddy" prices and not have his wife kill him still. (shed be a fine fearsome addition to the game as a hero-class)

Does anyone at twi know when this is going to be fixed?

I don't think they've yet sorted out why we're seeing this bad performance. :(

I'll keep trying stuff too when I get some time. Maybe it's some kind of application that's conflicting or some obscure software-caused reason.

You know what's worse than 50% GPU usage in-game?

100% GPU usage when in the game's menus!

For crying out loud, please cap the menus at 30fps so my powerful GPU doesn't run wild trying to render menus at 339fps, which causes it to heat up which in turn makes the fan on it crank up real loud, all of which is a completely unnecessary waste of energy and noise.

Many of us have noted this and been asking for this fix since beta. On the scale of the issues that need to be dealt with, this one is relatively simple.

Might not be worst, but its definitely annoying
