    I'm the original poster of this topic and I found the fix to my problem.

    I found out that an overheating CPU can cause very bad stuttering. I fixed it by dusting my heatsinks with compressed air. You can also try increasing the CPU fan speed in your BIOS. If you have a similar problem, you should try it.

You can go to the folder where Battlefield 3 in installed and you will find folders called XP or XPACK followed by a number. Delete them and then repair install on origin and it will redownload them

    i tried these and they did nothing...

    - repair installs

    - updated video driver to latest nvidia 310.90 (with clean install)

    also, this happens only in multiplayer--single player is fine.  it starts happening after a few minutes of playing multiplayer.  my internet is fine, i play other online games with no lag.  only a problem in bf3 recently.  can this be fixed?

    This problem might be caused by lag spikes in BF3. However, this is only a problem with BF3 and not any other online games on my system. I've tried multiple servers. My ping is usually 30-70. Can this be fixed in an update?
