    My current rig just does not push the frames I need to play

    My setup is as follows
    i5 3570k at 3.4 ghz overclocked to 4.2 ghz
    16GBS Patriot Intel Exreme RAM
    Evga GTX 660 Ti Superclocked overclocked to 1201 MHZ and memory clock increased by 200 MHZ

    I get 70+ frames at WG
    40 - 60 FPS in the field with not much going on
    Lately I dip into the 30's FPS range when in a big battle and Im not too happy about that. Ive gotten into the habit of running it at medium to stay in the 100 + FPS range. Doesnt make much sense because BF3 runs at 60-70 FPS on ultra settings at all times!

    Your frames are higher in BF3 because it is GPU intensive whereas PS2 is GPU intensive.

    Kowlefe, did you mean to say that PS2 is more CPU intensive? I have noticed that when running PS2 that my GPU load utilization always sits around 50 percent, using only half of the resources and/or power that my GPU has. When I get 60 plus frames, my GPU load is at 98 percent. I cant figure out why and when PS2 stops placing a workload on my GPU.
