Well, Blackdog kt and I were having a little discussion here a while back concerning Sli/Crossfire, and since then I've been reading up more about Sli/Crossfire systems and microstutters, and it's actually not uncommon to have microstutter in dual gpu machines, or at least that's the way it seems. It also seems that the more cards you add to your system, the more likely it is microstutter will occur. This is also the case with dual gpu cards like the 6990 or 590.

The microstutter topic seems to divide opinion pretty sharply among those with dual gpu machines. Some fiercely insist that it's complete nonsense that it even exists, yet others are adamant that microstutter is present almost by default and it's something you have to live with.

All I'll say is that when there is smoke, there is also fire.

Doc have you tried deleting the shader cache files and config files from your IL-2 user directory?

There are issues with the game using old files, deleting these files forces the game to create new ones which are based on the latest version.

Are you also deleting the 1CSoftclub folder in your document and settings directory when you un-install? That's where some of the bugs originate when you've patched a few times.

Hi Doc,

I too have a mondo rig. It's one of the best you could build at the time of COD's release. I have also been complaining about 4 performance issues that have appeared only after 2 patch realeses ago. I even spoke with Luth dog and he said I shouldn't have any problems running everything on high.

1) stutters near land or when looking in it's direction
2) FPS hit in the 20% range where originally I had a surplus.
3) Anti Alaising doesn't work
4) Deteriorating performance if multiple missions are played.

Again, I wouldn't mind these issues if it was stated that they are working to improve them. However, there has been no mention of these on the "to do" list.

I'm just worried they have given up on the performance issues and are assuming that they no longer exist except for the "minor performance" issues stated to be resolved in a few months time.
