Suggestion for the 1C Devs
Although this has all the potential of grabbing attention and causing real action as a late night infomercial in a nursing home here goes..
FIX SLI!
Dumbing down the graphics to increase performance has done nothing to help the experience of a lot of players with high-end equipment. Even more folks have multiple mid-range cards that would benefit greatly from functional SLI capability. IMHO the fact that this extremely graphics intensive application cannot use SLI or crossfire is its biggest fault now that CTD is fixed. Its like having a Corvette Z06 with P185 tires or a 3/4 lb burger on a saltine cracker.
If this app had SLI the devs could turn back on "REAL" original textures and landscape environment that was last seen 2 patched ago. Our machines would be able to handle tree rendering out to as far as we could see. Micro stuttering would likely disappear.
Then they could quit messing with the graphics engine and focus on the game play features. The graphics card industry will not be able to patch up this huge deficiency any time soon. I know this because my GTX 580 outperforms my 590 when NVidia lists the 590 as a 50% improvement.
So, my question is, why is there no focus on fixing SLI? Is it just too hard? Does it require the enlistment of help form the card builders?
