Nice rig Emil, congrats!

If you have some time, please post how much VRAM your card is using when you fly over London or at the countryside...

Good to hear that smooth game is after all, possible at high resolutions

Flying the quick mission sight seeing over London max usage was 2,1 GB. texture original, all settings on highest, 2x AA, 16xAF, grass, roads, shadows on, clouds on, mirror off. 1920x1080 resolution.

Average fps ~30, not a single stutter using the GTX 580 with 3 GB Ram.

I turn off shadows as the fps tends to drop lower than I would like on the london map but then the res of that monitor is enormous

It was only borrowed. The performance difference between my GTX570 and this GTX580 doesn't warrant to spend ~270 EUR for an exchange.

If however someone builds a new computer or has a really old gpu to exchange, this card is the way to go for Cliffs of Dover, atm. But I would wait for the next patch, when the new graphics engine is in place.

Thank you for this information!

This provides useful information to the big question 1,5Gb vs 3Gb VRAM...

The OCZ Agility SSD needed an update to its firmware as it had some issues. After unplugging and reconnecting it, it appears to have died. I ordered a corsair instead but then realised that it uses the same sandforce controller so have ordered an Intel Elmcrest SSD to put the operating system on and will use the corsair as extra storage.

Over two grands worth of computer parts are sitting doing nothing and I'm going to have the joy of reinstalling everything again!!

I got a Vertex 3 here I can't even use, BSOD's and crashing Windows.
I went back to my old gen 2 intel until I received my new Crucial M4, I have zero problems with both.
I'm done with anything sandforce, never again.

This!!!

I use my rig for work and cannot accept wondering if the OS needs a reinstall every time I start the computer.

Due to the issue with hibernate killing the SSD and requiring a reinstall of windows I had already had to do two repairs which took the best part of the day until I finally figured out the problem.

Will install on an Intel Elmcrest tomorrow and see what happens

OK it's up and running again. The elmcrest isn't quite as fast as the OCZ but I've not had a single problem with it. This time I installed windows and then the wireless drivers first. Then downloaded all the latest stuff from the ASROCK website. Then I flashed the bios and used the latest version of Intel RST. Didn't update the firmware of the SSD.

Looking forward to the patch today or tomorrow
