Time to get proactive
 

Reading through some of the beta patch reports, its clear that some users found the patch beneficial even if it was only a few extra FPS. Where as others saw no gain at all. At a first glance it appeared that AMD users seemed to report more positive posts. So, would it be possible for those who did see some improvent to post what CPU they have below and also what operating system, no disscussion here please, just post what CPU you have and what speed it is running at if you found the patch to be an improvement. Obvioulsy this is not going to give us a complete picture but its a start.


many thanks

For example;-

AMD Phenom @ 3.00GHZ
Win 7 32 bit

I7 (Gulftown) @ 3.86GHz;
W7 64.

No change.

good to have you back tree. i think you have computer expertise from memory?

i7 @2,93GHz
Win7 64bit

Big improvement (no stutter), same fps
(details and screenshots in other posts)

AMD Athlon II X4 640

No difference.

i7 @ 2,6
Win7 x64

Improvment

i5 2500k at stock
win 7 64 bit

big improvement.
had to drop res from native down a notch pre-patch, post-patch its back up to 1920x1080, with trees and grass back on. still splutters and jerks, but nowhere near as bad.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual 5600+ 2.80 GHz

No way to run it.

~S~

Still stutters, some fps improvement over cities, I got reasonable fps with unlimited buildings with med quality.

I7 930, win 7 64bit

Guys thanks for your posts, but at this time could you just post your spec's if you have had an improvement.

Core2duo @ 3.2Ghz
Win7 64
5-10 fps improvement

Isn't that what luthier's thread about the beta patch was all about?

big improvements for me i can now fly at 1920x1080 with reasonable fps, everything medium ofcouse.

Q8400@3.2ghz, 1gb 4870, 4gb RAM.

This thread is for those who only saw improvements. I think it's a good idea personally.

some improvment in stability, over land no fps gain.

I7@3.06
GTX280
3gig corsair ram
Windows 7 64bit.

I got an improvement (no doubt my fan club will be along shortly)

in most cases a doubling of fps.....still not spectacular over london, over the sea it runs totally smooth with everything on max at resolution 1680x1050 60hz (max for my monitor), but to get any performance over london I found I had to disable shadows and turn down AA (which seems strange as AA doesn't normally affect performance on any other games for me).

Intel core2 Quad @ 3.2ghz overclocked
Asus rampage extreme mobo
8Gb DDR3 corsair RAM
Nvidia gtx 470 1280 GDDR5 VRAM
SupremeFx X-Fi soundcard
Western digital HD 7,200 1Tb
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit

After the patch I did feel (not real maybe) improvement of the micro freeze/micro stuttering at low altitude over cities. No fps improvement. But the fps over big cities London and le Havre stay at a little above 10fps.

Mb; Asus P6x58d
CPU; i7 975 3.75gHZ
Memory; 6*2GB 1333Mhz
Gc; Geforce 580 1.5GbMem
Accesories; Trakir 5, Saitek X52.
Modifiesd conf.ini
All settings to very high or max.

slight FPS improvement for me, and changed nature of stutters from big random ones, to small, regularly spaced stutters.

there is definitely a rendering bottleneck going on, a kind of wave that you have to overcome, then most of stuttering clears out
it looks a bit like a gaussian function

the higher the resolution is, the higher the peak is, some people like bongo are at the 1680 limit, so with a little optimization he gets a high reward, while others are still stuck

Small improvement but still quite stuttery (?) over land/cities.

Small improvement

Q6600@2.4 MHz
Win 7 32 bit

Pretty sure i did notice an improvement over channel and terrain.,more fluid.,less stuttering.,stayed away from big cities (London). Had an enjoyable flight in countryside @ 25-35fps.,( channel @ 45-60fps) For me.,patch did help. Terrain,trees,grass,buildings set to low-med. :)

there is already a thread open about the beta...
