The first of July I redid my computer.
I had a very large box with mega fans already plus an OCZ 580 watt power supply.
I had the computer store install a:
Gigabyte X48-DS4 motherboard with a Intel X48/ICH9R/Socket775 rev.1.3
Intel core2Duo 6MB Cache 1333FSB 3.0Ghz
1. PCI-E 2.0x16/3 PCI Ex1/1394/ATX
4 DDr2 Dual-CH/DTS Audio
2 GbE LAN/8SATA 3Gb/s/12 USB2.0
ASUS EN8800GTS/HTDP 512M/A
2 ea. DDR2 1GB PC6400 800Mhz Cas 2.x
I have no idea what all of those numbers really mean, but they said it was very good.
It seems to be slightly faster then my old machine, but I am not impressed with the Nvidia over my old Ati X1900XT graphis card because I can'[t see anything any better with it & I still lhave things dancing in the distance & around forests & rivers
My questions is a jumbled up mess & I apologize for that.
I have been trying to run the SlovakiaStrikeBlue mission in QMB & with my 12 aircraft shooting up the town plus 12 enemy when I get near the town my fraps counter drops to 4-6 & I get a rapid flutter until we all get through the town. If I stay high it isn't as bad, but still a rapid flutter when everyone is near town.
My machine is as tuned up as I know how.
Brand new install of XP Pro & all drivers are the correct ones.
My 1946 dvd up & running 4.09b1m Plus the new aircraft & a few new maps.
I use Disckeeper which does a defrag of the starup systems Plus defrags files and C drive.
I use Tuneup Utilities to defrag the registry & keep things tuned up.
This high speed flutter seems to point to a memory not transferring graphics fast enough.
I have 512 mb memory on the graphs card plus 2Gb main memory.
I can't think that going to 4 Gb memory would make any difference.
The OCS power supply is almost new & while I wish I had of gotten 680watts, I didn't have the $$$ at the time..hind site is 20-20 there.
Using QMB Plus I cut 1/4 of the ground objects out & cut the aircraft back to 8 & I still get a flutter around the town.
Do any of you think that this may well just be the problem with the map or should my computer handle it.
Can anyonte try playing the slovakiaBlueStrike map in QMB with 12 Hawk 75's & 8/ l-16 & 4 /153 russians... & see how it plays for you?
I have spent about 30 hours trying to adjust that 8800gts & have read everything online elseware about it & honestly, I can't see any better with it then I could with my old ati...bummer on money ill spent there.
