GPU /FPS Graphs (Black Death) : 1.02 vs 1.05 + Observations
 

Hi all,
Thanks for the Kudos on my earlier FPS comparison of 1.02 vs 1.03 Beta. Here is comparison of the latest 1.05 vs orig 1.02 Black Death Track.
Q9550, GTX 570, Win 7 64bit, 4 G Ram, 1920 x 1080, most settings maxed however Trees & SSAO both Off, VSYNC - ON, Nvidia drivers 285.38.

FPS Graph:
Avg reduction of approx 20% for 1.05 comp to 1.02
less smooth gameplay

GPU Utilization %:
Averages 50% - same 1.02 and 1.05

GPU Ram used:
1.2 GB - same 1.02 and 1.05

If admin can paste the image into the body of this post I would appreciate it.


Notes from first online dogfight:
> Approx 20% reduction in FPS - not good
> Noticeably more stuttery, more hangups - not good
> 3d engine sounds improved - excessive volume over other sounds, other sounds broken
> Gun sounds broken to obviously non existing - amazing how they cold have missed this !
> Gun impact sounds on target - missing - not good , this really added to the fun/immersion
> Gun damage seems a bit inadequate
> Beaches improved - though excessive foam movement given the resource requirement
> Water - improved - I like
> Sun glare seems very overdone
> Mirror on as Default each new plane - should have Option/Setting to default Off/ON
> Still cant eject and run away after landing/beaching
> Fog/whitewash on all surfaces still detracts in my opinion - prefer elimination of the effect

>> Planes should show PILOT NAME ( not plane model).

Hi,
my gun sounds are very good.

GPU comparison graph too please.

Interesting, seems to be the opposite of my experience, but well put together.
