Nvidia settings help - reflected - 20.08.2008

I had to reinstall my Nvidia drivers. before, il2 run very smooth, and now it's lagging especially when I'm looking around with TrackIR, or I'm looking into the setting sun over water.
I couldn't remember my nvidia settings I used to use, here's the actual. please help me fine tune it so that it runs smooth again! Thanks in advance!
specs: GeForce 8800 GT 512, 2G RAM, c2d 2.66

- Rakk - 20.08.2008

My PC is
GeForce 8800 GTS
Intel C2D 2.66 Ghz

I use Track Ir

It's very nice to play in OFF LINe, but on serveurs, i have the same problem
It s impossible to play, freeze all 3 seconds...
When i chose low settings, it s the same !

My connection is CABLE 30 Mo and when i have the problem, my PING is 130
and sometime less !

Don t understand anything... but i 'm still working

My antialiasing is X4

hey, 've figured it out! Chose Threaded optimisation to OFF, the rest is like my settings,

and try these:

[Render_OpenGL]
TexQual=3
TexMipFilter=3
TexCompress=0
TexFlags.UseDither=1
TexFlags.UseAlpha=0
TexFlags.UseIndex=0
TexFlags.PolygonStipple=1
TexFlags.UseClampedSprites=0
TexFlags.DrawLandByTriangles=0
TexFlags.UseVertexArrays=1
TexFlags.DisableAPIExtensions=0
TexFlags.ARBMultitextureExt=1
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineExt=1
TexFlags.SecondaryColorExt=1
TexFlags.VertexArrayExt=1
TexFlags.ClipHintExt=0
TexFlags.UsePaletteExt=0
TexFlags.TexAnisotropicExt=1
TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=0

TexFlags.TexEnvCombine4NV=0
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineDot3=1
TexFlags.DepthClampNV=0
TexFlags.SeparateSpecular=1
TexFlags.TextureShaderNV=1

HardwareShaders=1

Shadows=2
Specular=3
SpecularLight=2
DiffuseLight=2
DynamicalLights=1
MeshDetail=2
VisibilityDistance=3

Sky=2
Forest=2
LandShading=3
LandDetails=2

LandGeom=3
TexLarge=1
TexLandQual=3
TexLandLarge=1

VideoSetupId=17
Water=3
Effects=1
ForceShaders3x=1

PolygonOffsetFactor=-0.15
PolygonOffsetUnits=-3.0
ForceShaders1x=0

Also, if you have a dual core, go to the first line of the "rts" section of your conf.ini, there's a Process-whatever, set it to "1". Please note that it shouldn't start with a ";" , so delete that too if you have it there.


It works good for me now (better). The only thing I don't know is wether to enhance or override applications settings in the nvidia control panel...

Hmmm I have:

[rts]
;ProcessAffinityMask=1

Is this the one that you are referring to? What's it for & will it not work if the ";" is in front?

that's it, and just delete the ";"
