Yeah I really don't want to deal with a CF/SLI setup if I don't have too. I believe this will be the best solution for single card BF3... possibly the DC2 TOP however is in the running.

My DC II non-TOP, flashed to a TOP, has been a champ. Overclocks to ~1350's with no vmod, and closer to 1475 with 1.35V. If I had to complain, it would be the dinky VRM cooling, and non existent VRAM cooling (other than blow by air from the heatsink fans). I like the card though, and it's water cooled, so no big deal.

That being said, if Afterburner does something good for these Lightnings, they'd probably end up being my first choice, especially for an air cooled card thumb.gif

Your probably right...
I don't know how to edit all the settings, I can only touch those between "Directx 11 options" and "Gamma"
Anyway, these are my settings.
I also edited the config file to have the v-sync but I'm not sure it worked well

I was wrong rolleyes.gif The lowest isn't 40.
I just played a couple of minutes and It seams to be more around 20 fps min.

What exactly is physx confused.gif I don't know how to deactivate it (or activate it)...
That's what I get when I go the the nvidia CP.
