Thank you Tree.

While we may not always agree, there is not point in being uncivil about it.

Cheers.

Just tried these out with CloD. I must say (rather excitedly), absolutely remarkable performance improvement over previous drivers. Took a scenic flight over England. I couldn't believe it. Stuttering over land has all but been eliminated- I mean, it's truly night and day... I don't think I've ever been as impressed by new drivers as I am with these. Seriously guys, give these a try and report back. I'm beginning to think that the performance related issues in CloD are more related to drivers and not the game itself. I don't know what else to assume as my game performance has just been transformed. I checked out my video/quality settings. Nothing has changed as far as I can tell. I'm running high land shading, etc. Same as before.

Best surprise I've had in a long time!


(my gfx card is a geforce 570 btw)

Yes, I love the performance increase as well. But were you able to get rid of the flashing textures? And if so, could you tell us how ?

Maybe hes only using one video card and seen an increase in performance.

Just noticed you have voice activation/recognition in your setup... Makes great sense...
Is it a stand alone program, windows, or maybe came with your controls?
Does it use much mem, CPU... Whatever... I used to use one along time ago, but I don't even remember it's name...

Thanks in advance... sorry I'm going o/t...

"Maybe hes only using one video card and seen an increase in performance."

Yes. Only one.


"I didn't bother overlaying the graphs as I say ZERO differences on all parameters"


I wouldn't be surprised if fps were the same with these and the previous drivers, the difference is in the smoothness, which is definitely pronounced. Anyone else experience this on a single card?


"Yes I tying out the beta drivers, better aa and

I'm not sure how much is placebo effect and how much is real, but I also had a thought that AA had been improved. External views showed that the plane was still looking a bit jaggy, but things for some reason seemed to appear nicer in cockpit view. Less distant groiund shimmering perhaps? I will check it out tonight.

ok then, with SLi, setup one card as physics with 1 card as graphics, would this help with this driver?

It worked very well, but I haven't used it for sometime. I fly mainly on-line. The software is Voice Activated Commands @
