GeForce 9600 gt - possible Perfect setting ? - doctor - 19.10.2008

Big Grin Hi guys need help with graphic settings :

I had Saphire ATI RADEON 1950 PRO with 512 gb of DDR3 RAM (128 bit) / proc is AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600 / 2 GB of RAM ( dual channel 8oo Mhz ). Windows XP PRO +SP3.
All this was running IL2 fine - on perfect settings, but there were problems with graphic card which overheated very fast , so I'm trying now to play with Gigabyte GEFORCE 9600 GT with 512 gb of DDR3 RAM (256 BIT) and have problems - could not get game to run in Perfect mode, and also could not manage to apply antialiasing settings to work as I wish ( I made settings, start game but no avail - "jaggies are still there".

Please give me a helping advice, thank You in advance.

There must be some cong.ini problem. I have an 8600GT and can run game at full setting (Perfect included, water 4 and AAx2).

Did you run il2setup.exe after installing the new card? Also check that they game is being run in Opengl mode and not directx.

Cheers

How did you remove the old ATI drivers? Simply using the Windows uninstaller does not always remove all the driver components, I suggest using DriverCleaner Pro.

Install your Nvidia driver, I think the 178.15 WHQL is good, it is on my 8800GT (Win XP-Home SP2).

Run the IL2 setup utility, make sure you select OpenGL.

I would recommend setting up a profile in the Nvidia (or nHancer or RivaTuner, whatever you prefer) tools for Il2, 4xAA and 4x (maybe even more) AF, image set to "Quality", clamp negative LOD bias, conformant texture clamp "on", Extension Limits "off" or set to 0, OpenGL multi-threading "off", CPU multi-core support set to "multi-core".

Now fire up Il2, go to the video configuration screen, make sure Attempt Stencil Buffer is turned "on".

You should now have perfect settings.

This is my vid card setting

driver 178.24 (I am using a 280GTX, but this driver is also for the GEFORCE 9600 GT )

you can find my config.ini in

in config.ini file I have set effects=1 because if you set it to effects=2 using a smoke mod the game sometimes stuttered.

goodluck fredgreen

:lol: Hi guys,

Once more - big thanks to all - Following your advices I succeeded to run game with all eye candy.
AVALA - hvala za stranu sa driverima. FREDGREEN - thanks for sharing settings in NVIDIA panel ( must say that in ATI catalyst center was much clearer for me to make settings ).STANSDDS - thanks for overal explanation.Now I can enjoy my favourite game.

Best regards to all ,

I have found the stock 4.09 patch reduced my fps by 20-30fps from the stock 4.08. I experimented with all the dll's available for download. But when I used the Unified Installer the 4.09 mod package it is the best for my system. I'm back up to 60fps maxed out with vsync on. I did however notice some settings in your nvidia settings that are not optimized.

Negative LOD bias Some games force a negative LOD BIAS nevertheless. The result is heavy texture shimmering. To avoid this, the driver can clamp the LOD BIAS to zero. That means that the LOD BIAS can still be raised above zero, but it cannot set lower than zero.

Frames to render ahead: Using this setting, you can limit the amount of frames the driver accepts ahead of the currently displayed frame. This should be left at the default value (3) to get the best performance.

You can get a faster reaction on your mouse movements in some games by lowering the limit. This might also cause a loss in framerate, though.

Threaded Optimization Threaded Optimization: Controls the use of multithreaded optimization for all 3D games on Dual Core/HyperThreading systems. The available settings are Auto, On and Off. I would strongly recommend the default option of Auto, allowing the drivers to set this appropriately for various games based on your hardware. Only turn Off for troubleshooting purposes if you believe a particular (older) game is not compatible with dual core CPUs.

Triple Buffering If set to On, this setting allows your overall performance to improve when Vertical Synchronization (VSync) is enabled in games. Therefore if you want to enable VSync - whether in the in-game settings or in the Nvidia Control Panel, it is recommended you enable Triple Buffering as well. However note that using Triple Buffering may cause problems for graphics cards with lower Video RAM, so disable this option if you

I bought the XFX geforce 9600GT and im experiencing game crashes anybody heared of this before?
My old Geforce 7900GS didnt crash the game but it was abit to slow to run everything on perfect, this card is doing great but after a while of playing it just goes back to windows and il2 turns black then it says my screendriver crashed and is repaired but i cant get back into the game.

I have a 9600 GT and ran into the same problem last year. You might want to check on whether your GPU is overheating. Oddly enough, IL 2 is the only program that causes my GPU to overheat. You will need to use a program such as ExperTool or RivaTuner to manually set your GPU fan to 100% (this cannot hurt your computer, it can only cool your video card). When I run the fan at 100%, I almost never experience a crash in IL 2 now. Hope this helps you!
