New Patch same old Ati problems

[Psycho_Ch!cken]

Well. The last beta patch had fixed the GPU speed issue for me (6950) but this one breaks it again, even without the Ubi video.

The weird thing is that in Crossfire, my second card powers up, but not the primary. And if I switch to pseudo fullscreen mode, Crossfire doesn't work.

A comedy of errors indeed...

Still have not updated to latest beta patch- I'm running really smooth now with all settings maxed except Grass off. Scared to install new patch. My specs are: ASUS P6X58d Premium, ATI 5870 2g Card, 12 Ram, Pentium i7930 OC to 4.0. Very slight stuttering on some areas but nothing really bad. One thing that I did over the weekend was to Flash my Bios which has really helped- *** Caution to anybody that does this - make sure you follow the directions for your motherboard. AA set to 8x. Will keep monitoring/ posting if I can be of help, etc.

Same pig ugly Jaggies
Seems to me, ATi users have been shafted

Forgot to add shimmering tree's and house's

Wellll.... IL2 1946 UP MOD is pretty awesome with a new Mod about to be released... this gets me through the WWII SIM craving. Also, another really good diversion is the A10-C Warthog Sim from DCS that is pretty awesome.
So if you tire of this debacle, there are working SIMS that could satisfy until this one is figured out.


I have an ATI HD 5970 and I do not overclock CPU or GPUs
I have not seen the blue lines. I have been able to tweak out the issues most seem to be having. I don't have any jaggies.

I don't fully understand all the nuances of what does what with all the Graphics settings and tweaks.

I can tell you that whether it makes sense or not, these changes worked for me. I have the Sim running pretty well right now. The shimmering is still there but is reduced.

Changed PAM to 64 from 14
Renamed Logo.waw to stop UBI Splash in EU version which reportedly locked clock speed to 400
Changed Render to D3DD_11 from D3DD_10

Try this conf ini from sukhoi forums to remove ati stripes.

I can not check if it helps as I do not have this problem.

Ive got them both plus Rice of flight, but to be honest, i only want Cliffs of dover, ive always had a fasination with the battle of britian

I also think that doing this Changed Render to D3DD_11 from D3DD_10
Reverts it back to dx9, but im unsure

Unsure what your on about here, Changed PAM to 64 from 14.......Were? and what does it do?

[Flanker35M]

S!

PAM = Process Affinity Mask. Can be found in the conf.ini file. Need to test if there's any difference with it on or disabled.

I didn´t try it because Im not behind my computer but I did dl the conf.ini and had a look at it since I spent days tweaking my own in the past and pretty much tried out every single setting.

I personally would have been very surprised had it worked but thanks anyway for the link, always worth a try innit?

About the Process Affinity Mask, I would just leave the ; in front of it in the conf.ini to keep it disabled. Windows normally handles core assignment pretty fine by itself and tweaking this often does more harm than good. The 64 setting is aimed at a 6 core processor if I´m not mistaken so it wouldnt be the right setting for your Quad so if you set it to anything it would be 15 yeah.
