Plus Triple Buffering adds some input lag.

2) Are you sure? I swear I read somewhere on GeForce it should be enabled, even with adaptive. Going to have to switch that out then. I use the adaptive VSync when I play CQB and I've been putting TB too
Thanks. Repped.
Yeah. I've had Premium since it came out and today is only like the 4th time I've played CQB...maybe 5th. Just hadn't been feeling it. Going to have to start fav'ing some good servers that have active admins and vote kick options.

Well, I will try a mix of medium and high then, if you claim that it isnt mutch diffrence in visual, but I should still use msaa 4x, right?
But you must admit that it is supgprising that a 192bit gpu whit 768 mb ram is able to run it at ultra. I have oc the gpu alittle, so acording to gpuz i have the same bandwitch as 256 1gb version, but can that be correct? 768mb oc handle as mutch data as a "slower" clocked 1gb?
People advacied me to buy a new gpu to play bf3 whit decent visual, that was bull**** it seems, cheers
Cofe time

I agree with this. If you are getting tearing, try the Adaptive VSync and see if it helps. It works really well. Really well. Only kicks in when the frames get too far above the screen's refresh rate so the card can "flex" and not be tied down too harshly. Make sure to enable Triple Buffering if you use it, too.

OT: Guy wants to sell me a Gigabyte 6870 Windforce (only 5 months old) for 80 bucks. Should I buy it and sell my 460? He says he'll show me it can do 1100 MHz core easy, with just a tiny voltage bump. My 460 can only do 940 core 2150 mem stable, at 1.15 volts. My monitors are only 1440 x 900 and 1280 x 1024 so I'm thinking it's a good deal.

I mean, triple buffering's whole job is to somewhat reduce the performance hit suffered when the framerate dips below the monitors refresh rate when VSync is enabled, that's all it does, now, Adaptive VSync, disables VSync completely when the same thing happens, so, if VSync gets disabled when that happens, triple buffering becomes useless, since triple buffering only works when VSync is enabled at all times, plus, you'll notice less input lag with TB disabled.
Thanks for the rep btw!
EDIT: And yes, I also didn't know TB was enabled by default until repi replied to one of my tweets late last year.

If it wasn't a christmas gift it would've gone back as soon as I got it (happens on all games). Maybe after I can break open the manual and manual set the verticle/horizontal pixel clocks when I get my rig back up and running.
le sigh, thanks for the advice guys .

and yea the 6870 would be a great deal, and you could crossfire in the future to give it a punch similar to a 6970/570 . (and use the 460 for other rigs...HTPC perhaps?
so enable active vsync and disable TB? is it worth a shot?

It's pretty mind blowing the impact that this game has had on me cause tbh I love my PS3/Xbox, but ever since I've played this on PC I'm not missing consoles @ all. In fact I sold my consoles to upgrade my rig just to play this freakin game. Only thing I miss is the voice chat, been reading stuff about ventrilo & teamspeak but haven't had chance to make use of it yet. Wish I had jumped on the PC wagon earlier cause it's a pain unlocking everything again
