260 GTX Wont work in perfect Mode

[KG66_Manta]

I just cant figure this out, I was running a 8800GTX and could use perfect mode to have that great looking water and still be a t 60fps.

I have now purcahsed a new Asus 260 GTX and if I select perfect mode my frame rate drops from 60 to about 16.

I have tried different drivers and also have re-installed the game and still no luck.

Any ideas as it looks like I am going to have to rip out the 260 Gtx which will really suck

Did you not uninstall one of the drivers trying to get it to work? Try uninstalling all the nv drivers, delete the folders then reinstall and see if that fixes it. Good luck.

Hi Manta

What about HardwareShaders=1 options in the Conf.ini file?If it is set to "0" you can also have an ESA computer, but IL2 will never work in Perfect mode!

Check it up!

Bye

Thanks for the help.

Still no luck, It is when i change the hardware shader option to 1 it all goes up the creek.

So strange as it worked well with the 8800gtx and this card is suppose to be better.

I think i will go back to the 8800

Well this just gets stranger by the minute, now i can use hardware sharder 1 but i have to also use forceshader 1 which from my knowledge is used for older cards.

Has to be a driver issue

Well
i dont know what version of drivers do you have but i can give you the link to the latest drivers that also will install the new Physx engine on your computer:

Drv. 177.92

I hope it'll solve your problem!

Let me know!

[KG66_Manta]

Cool will give it a go, are these Beta ???

[KG66_Manta]

Nope still no joy, same problem.

I just dont get it, unless there is something wrong with the card but then why do all the other games work?

[Deovis]

yes they are beta...dont install

instead try the 177.89 this one isnt a beta version!

[KG66_Manta]

No luck with any of the drivers listed above.

Maybe the card is busted some how?
