TRY installing FRAPS, its a very nice and harmless program. To answer ur question is it necessary to use fraps to make it work?
Well i can tell u dis- I remember one time i disable FRAPs b4 i join the game, and than i applied the same method i post earlier and guess wat? flickering problem was there. So i guess u could say Fraps helps, well for me la.
Regarding the refresh rate:
http://www.ghacks.net/2010/04/28/59-hertz-refresh-rate/ 
http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=301860
Meaning dont worry about it coz doesnt matter if u use 59hz or 60hz. And also if u notice Nvidia control panel will always stuck at 59hz even if u apply 60hz. The only way to apply 60hz u have to force it under customize resolution panel there.

ok so how do u use fraps?? just overlay the fps??

EDIT:

does this fix works on single player??

i dunno if i were the only one who facing this problem??

my pc met the requirement of bf3,
i still get crash when playing the game, then i download the latest nvidia driver so my bf3 works nicely without any crash...

BUT the PROBLEM is...

after I restart / shut down my pc, i will get the crash again when playing bf3.
the only way for me to avoid the game crash is keep re-installing the nvidia driver......

anyone know whats my problem??? why restart/shutdown will change my nvidia settings?

Bro, what do u mean by how to use??HAHa .. jst install FRAPS and it wil straight away enable. U see below there the icon fraps? Or jst click the icon at the deskstop shortcut > general page > tick the box :
1. Start Fraps minimized
2. Fraps windows always on top
3. Run fraps when widows start.

When u open any game u wil see the yellow color FPS overlay.
This fix should work for both single and multi.

AHAH. Good news rclxms.gif Yeah i forgot to mention at my first post - Faulty SLI bridge will also cause SLI flickering. Urm but wait, for ur case u said dat u switch upside down - dat means position was wrong all dis while? lol. But how come u could play other games wit SLI enable?..

i just upgrade to SLI and havent test any other games with SLI enable yet.... i dont know if its in the wrong position all this time... i thought it was just simply install the SLI bridge and dont have any direction to install that....

yeah ive tried lowering the video setting to low but still getting freezes/hangs. it is so frustrating that reset my pc is the only way. the crash is random from 5-30 minutes only when playing mp. with sp on ultra is runs smoothly.

my spec:
qx9650 3.0ghz
gtx560ti
win7 64-bit
8gb ram

all exceeded recommended requirements. it is related to intrnet connection? it requires minimum 1mbps but my intrnet cnection only 512 kb/s.

any1 can suggest anything? ive had veryyyyy high hopes for bf3...dun make me turns to mw3 haha

i'm using GTX 460 SE... try declock GPU, upgrade PSU, updated nvidia driver, update bios driver... also same... Game will freeze after 5-10min wit looping sound after playing...
Then one last try... i updated the sound driver which normally soundcard intergrated with motherboard.. as Bios driver update, it doesnt update the sound driver as its indepedent...
Try update ur sound driver by searching ur motherboard online & under utilities, download the new sound driver...
it helps me... now no more game freeze... playing with Medium resolution... wit GTX 460 SE

Hope this help u guys with other GPU... no harm trying... smile.gif

ive tried underclock my gtx560 ti from 880 to 800 using msi afterburner....also set the fan at 100% but somehow the freezes/hangs still happened.

the only difference is that i can play longer before freezes, around 20 to 30 minutes instead of 5 6 minutes previously.

so sad sad.gif

really hope EA will fix this very very very very very soon plssss
