Beta Patch-Good/Bad. All discussions here please.

I've already posted this question in the beta patch thread but I sense it will get buried pretty quickly in the avalanche of feedback...

Question: should tracks taken pre-patch have performance change post-patch? If so (and I don't see why not) then there is zero FPS change on my rig on a free flight over Dover. Of course, if pre-patch track FPS won't change post-patch then I guess I wasted my time!

You're getting high frame rates anyway! Regardless.

Yeah, I'm not complaining... Just curious since my biggest problem was stutters which are improved.

I'm pretty convinced that stutters are related to some kind of disk access. I 'feels' like something is being loaded in each time they occur.

It could be. Try using a RAM drive if you have enough spare, seems to work for some people. If this makes a difference it will only be in the stuttering, not FPS on which it has no effect.

Its very strange its over land, and not water, i get good gamplay over warter, but over land its not that good
ive also noticed if you do a fps check over land its only building and trees that have the worst effect,

Wow your spec is very similiar to mine and yet I am not seeing anywhere near these performance numbers. Which driver are you using?

270.51 BETA but FPS is similar with the stable version. If you haven't already then disable aero theme in win7 and exclude the steam folder from your antivirus.

I take it the max count was when you was looking at the sky?

I think the mean value is perhaps deceptive. What would you say was the avg performace you was getting?

I might replicate test1 just to see what I get.

The mean is not too far off since I spent most of the track looking at the town to stress things a bit.
