Use a RAM drive to reduce stuttering

The true is that this game REALLY need to be optimized for multicore and use much more RAM than it uses now. We don't really need +2GB VRAM vgas, we need to use more RAM. It's much more cheap...

I think you are confusing DDR2 apples with DDR5 peaches....

If you want to understand why this game needs 3Gb VRAM, download Tuckie's video in HD (it is 350Mb) watch it and you understand.

The game don't "need" 3GB VRAM DDR5. The game in actual build use less RAM than could and have detailed textures with gigantic size. No need at all to 3GB VRAM, only some more optimization in textures size/amout/logic of loading into VRAM.

People need to calm down a little and wait for further optimization. More of 1GB of VRAM just to load textures? In ArmA2 we have lots of texture loading and now - with all optimizations - near zero stutters in 1GB VRAM cards. CloD isn't so much more detailed, just need hard work in optimization.

3GB VRAM is only needed in MASSIVE resolutions, and now in CloD it only minimize a flaw in graphics engine. I doubt will be needed all this VRAM in near future to fluid gameplay with high quality textures.

from your mouth to God's ear...


I would never disagree to what you said. It is just that I become more "religious" (believing in divine intervention) that "rational" with this game

PS. And my 580GTX 3Gb SLI is for sure under the Xmas tree in December

OK i confirm that the first posted method works and is BAD ASS, I repeat BAD ASS and a must try. it took my 20 min just to make sure i was not screwign up my computer but its streight forward fallow the directions. and its like BUTTER. ok for the system specs. Dont Drool but it is nice.

Evga 780I yea 1 step back 4 gig 1066 Ram
intell core2 Extreme X9650 3GHz Cuz it was on special
EVGA GTX 580 3gig version
OS Drive: Dual Raptors 10K 120gig part
Spec from Blackmagic drive test Write: 93.8 Read: 99.3
SSD Drive for Ram: Enterprise Server edition for faster writes and reads
Spec from Blackmagic drive test Write: 194 Read: 235

Disk Speed Makes a difference. Oh next im going to try and run all the files in parts dir in ram. will post with results.


all i can say is i am now trying this with ARMA2's addons folder. Good luck folks.



Jimmy OUT!!! Good Job

There is a big thread on BIS forums about it listing most frequently used files. Search for ramdrive or ram-disk.

Hmhm, again, which files should be stored there? And how can one assure, the Image ist rewritten to HDD when shutting down your computer?

Greetz, Allons!
