A nice feature for nvidia users, esp. for those with higher end boards (Kepler): use recent drivers and activate the Frame Rate Limiter option (it works well in combination with adaptive vsync, btw...).
To access this option you need to use either a tool from a gfx board vendor (like EVGA or MSI) or, much preferred!, the NVIDIA Inspector (eg. from here ).
It will stabilize the whole display - and might correct issues with input lag or high temperatures...
very good lets hope this topic will be update from time to time🙂
can admins make it sticky?
some ***update***
In the NVIDIA Control Panel I changed the following:
Power Management Mode: Adaptive (yes, adaptive! I was using Maximum performance and all it did was crash to windows and make my FPS unstable)
Threaded Optimazation: On

My settings ingame : Everything ULTRA + 4x MSAA + HBAO+ Vsync ingame ( no DOF)
for 99% of the time I don't have fps drops, it also depends a bit on the maps.. Gulf of Oman is still a bitch
Rig:
i7 930 @ 4.2Ghz
6GB RAM @ 1603Mhz
Asus P6X58D-E (0602)
Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce 2GB @1231/7406
So far it is working insanely good. I can finally enjoy the game and I am not ALT+F4 after couple of minutes. Only FPS drop I noticed was @ Karkand from the US side going through the right side.. that small area there seems to always give me a little problem.
Give it a try and let me know!
