Below you can find some tweaks and settings on how to get better performance in Battlefield Hardline on PC.

NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL SETTINGS:

1: On your desktop right click and choose Nvidia control panel.
2: Go to Manage 3D Settings > program settings & add BF3.exe
3: Change the following settings:

Maximum pre-rendered frames: 1
Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration: Single display performance mode
Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
Texture filtering – Negative LOD bias: Clamp
(When enabled helps remove jaggedness of edges in still pictures but while in movement it introduces more jaggedness)
Threaded optimization: On
Vertical sync: Off

HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM CONFIG FILE:

1: Go to your Battlefield Hardline beta folder. Check the description for the default location. The default location is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3
2: Open notepad and copy & paste the settings from below in the spoiler tag.
3: Go to the File > Save as
4: Make sure the Save as type is set to All Files and not as a text document.
5: Save the file as user.cfg

GAMEPLAY & GRAPHICS SETTINGS:

1: Make sure your raw mouse input is enabled. This way you have no mouse acceleration on top of your mouse input.
2: Make sure to have the network smoothing factor set to 0 % for reduced latency and a better experience.
3: Go into ingame Video Options and do the following:

Set your mesh quality to ultra so you don’t have any objects or textures pop ins
Turn OFF anti aliasing
Turn OFF Anti aliasing post
