Unfortunately I have a multi-GPU card, Radeon, can't turn off Crossfire. I did however go into Window mode, which will force one GPU to go idle, and stay idle. Running this way eliminated a lot of the issues regarding flicker, didn't solve hit registration issues or this micro stutter I was seeing. I did a bunch of testing today and what I found was this. By turning off "Core Control" in Windows 7, this micro stutter and hit registration issue went away with the new patch. It did not solve the flicker issue, nor did I believe that it would. What it did allow me to do, is run BF4 with my GTX760 in Ultra settings. I replaced this card with a Radeon 7990 because it would not run BF4 without this micro stutter even on Low. Now it runs smooth in Ultra @ 1920 X 1200. To make matters worst, I purchased an entirely new system to run BF4. Processor, motherboard, memory, water cooler, power supply and list goes on. Four weeks ago I accidentally missed connecting my water pump. Had it on for about 10 seconds, which was just enough to kill it. I'm sure the overclock voltage helped it out. Big bummer? In the end, I'm back to my old i7 950, over clocked from 3.06 ghz to 4.0 with original memory, MOB... yada, yada... and the original GTX 760. All I needed was this change to my system, Core Control disabled in Windows and a GTX 760, a $250.00 card. Certainly not an entire P.C. upgrade. It does say this, "I do enjoy the game!".
