Our Settings for Battlefield 3
Here is our testing run through the game, for your reference.
NVIDIA’s new GTX 680 runs away with the performance win in our BF3 testing on the single display configurations. With a lead of 17% over the HD 7970 at 1080p and 9% at 2560×1600, Kepler is the clear winner.
The reason for frame rate
The reason for frame rate capping is to lower the temps of the card. Which also reduces the fanspeed automatically and consuming less power overall.
It works, I tried it in Battlefield 3 with my two GTX 580’s in SLI. Normally I get about 100 FPS on Ultra, gpu’s at 82C max. With a FPS cap of 80 FPS, I drop temps down to 70’s. 10 degree savings and quieter operation.
