There no space in the VRAM to load the all the models, so they are rotating in the small free space, causing shuttering.

Lowering the settings makes your GPU fast but you will not free enough VRAM.

With 1GB of VRAM per GPU the best resolution is 1920x1080 perhaps 1920x1200, and even so you can have some occasional shuttering in high populated model zones, like London.

Dude ... Look at my system specs - crossfired 6990s = 8gb total that is 2 gb per GPU. Also, as I said - same stuttering happens even at the lowest settings.

The same rig has no issues with DCS-A10 with highest settings @ 5760x1080. Or anything else for that matter.

I am willing to bet this stuttering is from poor implementation of Crossfire/SLI support. Prior patch (Steam) did not have this issue.

SLI/Crossfire systems don't share VRAM , even if they are in the same pcb.

So you have 2 GB per GPU.

Try spread 1920x1080 in eyefinity, then increase it progressively to found a balance, 2920x1080 for example.

I guess you can reach 3920x1080 without problems.

Real total is 1gb but absolutely there is something wrong with the code, maybe better crossfiresupport is coming sooner or later, even 1 6990 is enough for that eyefinity settings. Or is that 6990 4gb then he have total 2gb

EDIT : yes it is 6990 4gb so total is 2gb, not 8gb

Crossfire/sli memory is working somehow to RAID harddrive.

S!

Short test online: Haven't had the infamous stutters before, but this beta patch brought them to me too .. The stutters happen at approx 2 second intervals and freeze the screen for a very short but very noticeable time.

Didn't test very long, but the Bf-110 I tested online seemed also to jitter back and forth in the air in its flying direction.

I think we are all saying the same thing. My only point was 2GB/GPU and not 1GB/GPU as previous poster had stated.

Here are some screen shots of a problem i am having, it only happens in the .44 and .43 beta patches...i dont know what to call it and putting words to the issue will be difficult and may be lost in translation, after all a picture is worth 1000 words as they say....

Any word as to when we can expect the next official (non-beta ) patch?

I'm getting tearing and large land formations in the water.

[F16_Neo]

Did a new test applying the beta after rolling back to Steam version. Stutters gone!
But now I have this land texture on water in some places:

I'm not 100 that this glitch arrived with the latest patch though.
