I've found suggestions that I should underclock my 570s below stock, but I don't want to do that. I had them overclocked to the exact levels before without any problems.

Hello again people of BF3. I hope you guys aren't the idiots I run into playing this game. I should play the lottery because there are better odds of me winning that than a BF3 game. Teammates are useless.
Add soldier llabons, we can play at some point tomorrow maybe. Rage quit NoobField 3 for the night.

Majority of the people will be sticking to Win7 until all the issues are resolved. 2nd mostly dislike Win8 UI anyways, I've tried it and I can't do what I wanted to do like in Win7 anymore. Biggest NO I've given to Microsoft.

Maybe AB has some incompatibility issues with Win8, probably have to wait for an update to AB to fully resolve it. So goes the problem with living on the cutting edge.

I haven't found anything ground-breaking that's been cut out; the standard Start menu and Aero being the obvious features cut out.
I found a tip somewhere that I should unlock my voltage control MSI and set it to about 1000-1025 which is roughly the average stock voltage for the 570. I just did so remotely from work and will try it out when I am home. I don't think the problem is particular to Windows 8 nor NVIDIA video drivers for Windows 8 because it works fine with DayZ, recording and all. BF3 just seems finicky for whatever reason and manually setting voltage to 1000mv could be the solution.
