This!!!

I use my rig for work and cannot accept wondering if the OS needs a reinstall every time I start the computer.

Due to the issue with hibernate killing the SSD and requiring a reinstall of windows I had already had to do two repairs which took the best part of the day until I finally figured out the problem.

Will install on an Intel Elmcrest tomorrow and see what happens

OK it's up and running again. The elmcrest isn't quite as fast as the OCZ but I've not had a single problem with it. This time I installed windows and then the wireless drivers first. Then downloaded all the latest stuff from the ASROCK website. Then I flashed the bios and used the latest version of Intel RST. Didn't update the firmware of the SSD.

Looking forward to the patch today or tomorrow

Hey emil I just got the msi lightning xtreme 3gb 580 and I was wondering what your performance is like post beta patch. I have everything maxed and i sit around 25 fps average over london. Anywhere else in the game its really smooth. However, I do get stutters now worse than my gtx 260 that i replaced but only when I am really low, like 200 feet. If I climb above 2 or 300 feet the stutters seem to stop. Are you having the same issues since the beta patch? If not what are your settings currently?

Sounds about the same. Don't really get stutters except online but I am not using full settings. I have textures on high not original, SSAO off, Epi filter off, Everything else on high. But my resolution was 2560x1440 which may be higher than yours if you have a 1920x1080. If you want higher FPS you could turn off shadows as well. It is the clouds that probably give you the 25 fps over london though and there's no way to turn them down except I do suggest trying with light clouds....bet you get much higher fps!

Anyway due to the resolution and my difficulty of seeing dots I have changed to playing in 1920x1080 and now have everything on high with shadows but still SSAO off, epi off and textures on high rather than original. This is working great but still those deadly clouds and smoke are enough to drop fps to below 30.
