Post BF3 Unplayable
BF3 runs like a slideshow in the lowest possible video settings for me.

My setup isn't half bad either, geforce 9500 gt, 8gig ram, i7 processor.

Any suggestions before I give up on the beta and hope they fix whatever's wrong with mine?

I run every other game with no prob.

have you checked the bf3 forums?

EDIT: Also make sure you have your video drivers set to application controled if not it will force the card to use the settings that are configured in the control panal no matter what settings you use in game.

This is probably not what You want to hear but
your video card is below minimum specs.

8800gt>9500Gt in every category.

Heh...I hate to agree with Clorox but yes, your card might not be suite for Battlefield

if you're even running the beta driver yeah....probably not your issue but merely the card not being beef'd enoug.
