Well, I recently bought myself an Nvidia GTX 670 FTW, and, I installed it and it said everything was working fine, I installed the latest drivers and everything, but I am getting really bad FPS for battlefield 3, not for other games, I get good, but not as good as it should be, I think something is wrong, maybe a bottlecap, I am not sure. Anyways, I upgraded from an Nvidia GTX 560 ti, to the Nvidia GTX 670 FTW.

I get about, 35-45, sometimes 50, in Battlefield at max, with no motion blur, I even turned of MXAA, and it only raised it by like 2-3 FPS. It was really dissapointing, because, before, I got like 40-?FPS. The ? is just unknown because it varied what I was looking at.

Maybe BF3 is just a more demanding game on Max than most?

Well, it probably is, but I am getting worse FPS than I was before. I am thinking bottle cap maybe, and I was thinking about getting the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS Mobo with the Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I72600K. Will this prevent the bottlecap?

I had similar issues with Diablo3 after I updated my drivers. Try Nvidia's beta drivers, that resolved my issue. Sometimes they tweak things or make tiny corrections that don't make it into production drivers right away.

Yeah, that almost definitely sounds like a driver issue. Raise the issue with Nvidia if no-one has already done so and just wait until they release a new set of drivers.

Everyone's happy!

I've noticed that Nvidia has had to fix a lot of games lately that have very low frame rates.

Try this:

I went to go download them myself, and 310.70 seems to be the latest stable version out right now. What driver version do you have installed?

Yeah, I went there, and it said, "Click here to dowload the driver" I did, and it just took me to the auto search for beta drivers on their website, and I put I have a GTX 670 and it does a search, but nothing happens, it doesnt say there are none, or there are, nothing happens, it just goes back to the seach.
