I've upgraded my CPU/motherboard, kept my old videocard. I-5 3470 9800GT I can max out all my video settings except keeping infantry render quality and shadows on low and I can get 40 FPS which is just fine for me. With the new CPU no longer do my frame rates wildly fluctuate when more players are being rendered like before, but I still do fluctuate about +/- 10 frames per second going from no battle to biggest tech battle so I adjust my RenderQuality from 75% to 25%. It would be nice if render quality automatically adjusted down when getting below 25 FPS or automatically adjusting up when getting above 35 FPS, would be nice if I could set the low and high threshold. Other than that, even with my old video card I get absolutely no micro-stutters, and it runs slicker than snot.
I would just be happy with people not disappearing like hackers did in PS1 while sniping. Scoped mode should stop attempting to render anyone not in your scope or outside 10 meters. I include the ten meters in case you need to turn around and defend yourself.
I've been messing around, apparently render quality has an ever bigger effect on frame rate, for my 9800GT, than adjusting video quality.
