A stupid test.

.
For the crases I am certain it is not the CPU nothing else does crash. I never got any dump files even before I tried to overclock my CPU it it since I installed the last Alpha/Beta patch 1.07.
For the sli I do not know I have only one other game on my PC and it is ROF not the best game to test it because every type of PC does run ROF is it not?
I have tested the game again with SLI min fps at High level 07 without sli min fps high level 11 but when I try with sli but with the physx to cpu fps min high level 09 I did more than one test and got always nearly the same results.

About overclocking, the main goal of any overclock attempt is stability, its not good enough with load Windows and jump into the desktop because your CPU can be unstable under a big load of process, it can go into Windows and run low demanding programs and then crash on the high demanding ones, that´s why the overclockers runs burning tests for hours, to reach a 100% stable overclock.

you seems to know about this so I'm not saying this to you but to the audience for everyone sake.



What is for sure is that the performance of your computer is strange, I have better results with my ancient and burned dual core and my cheaper ATI 5870, I had a quick fly over your places and this is what I got


First all this is my configuration at 1920x1200 :



* Note that AA is off because I´m using SMAA :

It is enabled in his preset SMAA_PRESET_CLOD_HIGH.

But not all was well ...








The result is better than yours, it still low FPS but good enough for my hardware, and the only crash I had is the one in the picture.

I can have nice fights just avoiding London, over usual landscape 30-40 FPS at low altitude and without problems over the chanel (over 50 FPS).

Im happy with this performance, its good enough to have some clashes but I'm building a new rig, new board and quad-core CPU, and also looking for a 3GB videocard too


Hope you get your problems sorted, cheers ...

Guess some should read FS~Phat's article in the technical posts about settings and ram usage. I have a system much lower in performance than most but use Sli. I have included some screen shots low down near Tower Bridge similar to the posts here along with screens of my video settings. I have only a 19" monitor so my resolution is 1280 x 960. As you will see there can be a major difference in performance by turning down some (not all) settings.
See my sig for system. I'm also using Nvidia inspector and have experimented with Sli set up.

As you will see from the screens of London in the top RH corner the V/ram is at full use but the rest of the system is well balanced . My cards are from different stables and the Asus has always run cooler than the EVGA.

Is Collision Detection a big factor (CPU cycles being burnt) in the low FPS?
Another popular sim has a situation where the player can look at some areas of a town and have their 60fps, but to look at another area, the fps plummets. Noted that some of the buildings are solids.

Did you create an SLI profile? By default there isn't one.....this game don't use physx either

Yes I did and if physx are not used by the game why does it invluence the results?! Same for the sli when one change the sli manager(s) from the game to the graphic card driver(s).
When I say I put my settings at very high it is all my settings (one click change).
This is a track file, I hope it works, of this short test mission in a Spitfire MKIa oct.

I have made a step backward and reinstalled the steam original version of the game the one without the 1.07 patch and no crashes anymore, not one! I have tried most of the test I did with the 1.07 patch and no crash of the game at all. So I must conclude it is not my PC but the patch how is faulty! Sorry. Now I am reinstalling the 1.07 patch because the Spitfire MKIa oct and all 100 octane RAF planes are more fun to fly.

Don't know why so many are having crashes to DT, I have never had this happening. Is it just an online thing or are some that are just off line players like myself having CTD? I tried to get the CTD that some are talking about but just can't make it happen.

I'm running the latest patch and the latest Nvidia beta drivers (304.79)

Enable the SLI and physx indicators in the Nvidia control panel and they will be displayed on the left side of your screen when either is used in a game.
If it don't display it's not in use.

I have tested the same mission again in two settings;
Medium with grass and shadows vsync and ssao fps min 3
Very high vsync and ssao on everything very high or original fps min 6
Also I set clouds at medium. Same route as first test see first post to see track that still work.
No more crashes.
