Hey all, I finally found a stable OC for my Q9550 to get her at 4ghz! This system was sold to me by a friend last week for only $150 and I couldn't say no even if she's a little old. All my games run amazing compared to my old q6600 @ 2.7. The only game I'm having trouble in is BF3 still. While the performance did increase, I still get sluggish FPS. My friend played BF3 on this same system and got 50-60 on ULTRA (he has a GTX 480 tho). I run the game all MEDIUM with 4xaa, HBAO, 16XAF, textures on ULTRA @ 1280x1024 and get 30-45 fps. Turning off AA didn't do much so I kept it on. I've seen people running BF3 on ULTRA with a 460, so I'm a little confused. Do you think my GFX card is just still too low for BF3? should I get a 570/580? I don't wanna upgrade this whole system for just BF3. All my other games (CSS, CSGO, MW2, MW3, BO, SKYRIM, Crysis) run just fine.

A GTX 460 should be fine for Ultra quality present on BF3. Games don't see dramatic increases in performance because of a CPU overclock, though. You should overclock the GPU to see FPS increases.

Turn HBAO off, it will help significantly and you can keep some AA on afterward no problems. Is 1280x1024 your native res?

with only 1gb of v-ram your not going to be able to push ultra textures. I have a gtx465 ultrea textures is just to much for the card. Run everything on ultra but set textures to high. keep MSAA off and run FXAA on medium(for me high would still cause frame drops maybe once or twice a match) use SSAO instead of HBAO. Note this is what I used for 1080p to keep my GTX465's 1gb of v-ram in check. Only uses 900-1000mb of vram. The PC is also running a q9550 @ 4.08ghz so I know the cpu isn't the problem. I get 45-60fps
Though at 1280x1024 You should be getting better performance, though watch your memory load to make sure that its not bottlenecking your card.
Also are you overclocking your card? My gtx465 is running at 865mhz on the core, your gtx460 should be able to hit 800-900 pretty easily.

At your resolution i would assume you are cpu bound, but you have a good cpu running at a speedy clip.
I don't know your motherboard - is your gpu in an x16 slot? (Sounds like it)
Maybe something in here can help you:

Ok so, I adjusted my settings to textures on Ultra, everything else high, HBAO off, 1xAF, NO AA, and get 60+fps now! but I really don't like playing games with no aa
what's in gonna take to play this game with aa and high AF? I was thinking about picking up a 670 later in July, would that do it?

No offense, but 1280x1024 is a small monitor - you should not be having to cut the eye candy this much. What do BF3 forums say?
The GTX 670 is awesome and pretty quiet to boot.
Good luck!
