Every Video setting turned to MAX?.. Resolution?

Im at 1920x1200 and not 'every' setting is maxed out for me..I couldnt unless i wanted low FPS are our systems are very much alike

[rakinroll]

Game res is 1024x768. When i turned my game graph settings to medium, i still have stutters. :(

Have you renamed/removed intro movie file?

^ surely you've done that right?

Save your ini file and reinstall the game it's made difference for some. If your still getting lots of stutters on Med settings then I don't know what else to suggest sorry

[rakinroll]

Yes, i removed the intro movie and reinstalled the game. I am still have god damned stutters there. :(

[Ze-Jamz]

Mate have you got these on any other games? Have you tried some benchmarking program's and stressed your system to see any similar effects?

You shouldn't be seeing lots of stutters with your rig unless you've got hardware problems but I can't think what would cause that apart from gfx related..

I'm wondering if you've damaged your gfx card maybe?

We all get micro stutters still afaik but from what your experiencing I'd say you've got another issue somewhere.

Can you borrow another gfx card and check that?

Put CPU back to stock?

Trial and error mate

are you flying online or offline?

iff you are testing online, for some reasons the AI causes more stutters than what they should.

He's got the same system give or take as me mate. Offline or Online he shouldn't be getting these problems like he is especially if he's tried it all on MED settings too.

That sux

maybe he is on 1GB V-Card?

from what ive read around these forums having 2 gigs makes a huge difference.

S!

Rakinroll..first of all remove FSAA alltogether as it does not work proper forced or in game. FXAA or MSAA Injector give better results without so much FPS hit.

I have in CCC (preview 12.1a) the following settings, try them out as I have 6970HD too and no stutters or VERY minor ones.

FSAA Application controlled, morpho OFF, standard method.

Aniso Application controlled

Tessellation AMD optimized (has no effect in any games I play anyway).

Catalyst AI Performance and surface opti OFF

VSync On, unless application asks

AA Mode Performance

OpenGL triple buffer checked


My in game settings pasted from config file attached below.

Also MOST important with the game. Epilepsy filter and SSAO must be OFF. I also disabled grass as I do not spend my time watching it and in flight not even seen.
