Low texture settings to "HIGH". If your FPS remains poor, sorry to say that again, but think about some upgrade regards VGA.

I have very decent performance here, texture streaming problems out. Maybe this texture size/streaming issue can be solved soon, but I really don't see more room for other optimizations regards average FPS in this engine without reducing graphics quality a bit. Maybe more shadows options can help people without enough "horsepower" in VGA.

I know you didn't ask me either, but here's a fraps result for black death track.

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
5241, 216878, 7, 53, 24.166

Medium Settings plus grass, roads, shadows.

No AA, ssao off, epi off, vsync off.

Not ideal, but I can fly missions over London on these settings, just.

Adding any AA, ssao or v-synch hauls the average down by 5 per item (ish - I've not benchmarked with all three on).

Changing the in-game settings to high does the same.

How does this compare with yours?

i have no problem with you sharing results mate. the other dude just pisses me off on how he goes on every thread "buy VGA". I cant give you exact results, but i think from memory i get somehting like that, but without shadows.

Still you have a better pc than mine by a considerable stretch.

i Have particualr interest in Orpheus, becouse his VGA goes full power, and it his the same as mine.

Thanks!

edit: you do have a 5770! can yo upelase check its usage .. plz :)

Yeah, Lobi's like that.:rolleyes:

What baffles me is the overclocking of the card making no difference either, neither to frame rate nor render speed from what I can see, so maybe mine's stuck at a low level like yours, although I'm not sure where to look for this.
If you let me know I'll try the same method as you for comparison.

Calling Orpheus!

Edit, just seen your edit - of course! that's why I left my first post!!

run CCC.exe

go to the overclocking TAB, there is a very rough gage of the graphics unit usage.

Oh,that! Ok, I'll have a look and get back to you.:)

Edit: Ok, I've tried it, and the card usage dial goes up to 98% and hovers around that point, with the settings as in my previous post.

Have you overclocked it or is it on defaults?

its on defaults...

Mine is 'unlocked' but on default clock settings, because as I said, overclocking makes no difference.

If you haven't 'unlocked' it yet, maybe that could be why?

In all honesty I think it might be your CPU causing the stuttering, not the GPU. Nearly all the 'no stutter' reports I've seen are from CPU's running at at least 4 gig (overclocked or not). Other than CPU, we're not dissimilar - 5770s, 3gig of RAM to my 4gig. Are you running crossfire, or just a single GPU - with crossfire I see terrible stutter no matter what I do.

More powerful GPU will certainly help - the newish GTX5xx series are very good for CloD from what I've read on the forums, but I'd think about a CPU upgrade too. I'm no expert though, at the end it's all trial and error really. Lower textures and no shadows will certainly help - but it's up to you how much graphical quality you want to sacrifice.

Also, try pseudo windowed mode, that might help. Vysnc & SSAO off, no grass/roads/etc and buildings/building detail low.
