Finally after five plus days of tweaking, reinstalling Clod. My tri- fire set up will do max settings, 4x, SSAO enabled with vsync. Im getting steady, smooth, almost hicup free gaming. I'm using Radeon Pro with AFR friendly crossfire rendering. I used to not be able to enable that one because it would flicker bad.
Huh? Must of hit the right combo sets I guess.
I still get horrible smoke flickering during the black death track. I have tried changing the LOD, makes no difference. I did the config ini tweaks, no difference.
I did change to realistic gunnery so there is less smoke produce.
It feels like I'm pounding them with 10,000 rounds. I will get multiple direct engine hits at close range and they still fly on looking like swiss cheese.
