[|ZUTI|]

Is anyone here using this GFX with perfect mode, possibly with water set to 2 or higher, resolution 1680x1050 and has nice FPS?

My conf is:
E2160 @ 3Ghz
Mentioned radeon
4GB DDR2 mem at 1100Mhz
the rest should not be important, i think.

OS is Vista 64, but i tried on WinXp too.

The problem here is that my FPS in IL2 are around 20? Somewhere there. Or lower. If anyone has similar config i'd kindly ask you for your conf.ini file. This crap puzzles me a lot. I mean, the GFX should be more than enough for mentioned screen res and water 2 or 3. I never used and AA or AF. That's why i'm so damn confused.

Cheers.

Me I have it set up HD crossfire 2 ATI 3870's and get terrible FPS. I get good FPS in some maps but the worse map is Canons_ChannelMap. 5 fps on ground 40 to 70 in the air. Try this out.

of course the visuals are going to sux.

Hi Zuti,
I have Sapphire Radeon 3870 512MB,256bit and found that my game is not low fps,but stuttering.It is like I have fps from 30-60 (depends on ground objects) Problem is that I have this minilag always after few swconds of flying (I am speaking about offline).
I have core2duo E8400 proc with 3GHz,RAM 3Gb 667MHz

I dont use CCC cause it sucks.I use ATI tray tools http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=733

What I have found most feasable (but still with some stutternig) is:

AA 2x
adaptive AA mode:quality
AF - performance 8x
texture preference - high quality
mipmap detail level - high quality
wait for vertical sync - always on - how can you fly with this off?screentearing is awful
:?:
triple buffering on
catalys AI is OFF
support dxt format textures - no

Next thing is,that if you have low fps inside certain plane but from outside it is OK,than you have something screwed with cockpit (maybe some repaint mod) and you have it twice.It happened to me once I had two cockpits of P40 eneabled and fps went rapidly down.Try to search your mod folder if there are not some "doublers"

And last...yes canons chanel map is fps eater,mainly because of sooo many independant trees across all of england.Man thats screwed,he should reduce it a lot.When I fly this map online I always go from perfect to excelent cause otherwise it is not flyable :roll:

Hi Zuti,

I also have 2 x 3870 in crossfire with E8400 OC'd @ 3.6ghz, 8Mb OCZ Reaper Ram on Vista Ultimate 64, running 1680x1050 on 22" widescreen

my CCC settings are:





with OpenGl triple buffering on.

I get excellent FPS on & offline in perfect.

I use the Cat 9.3 drivers (latest 9.5 not so good!)

Big boost for me was running the latest Dll's and updating through Il2set before adjusting my conf.ini - huge improvement in FPS - I presume you've done this?

Here's my conf.ini if any help:

Latest dlls are from march 2008?

I did set settings through IL2setup, yes. I have "Custom" selected, but so do you, I see. Anyway, I'll try your conf.ini that you posted (thanks for that) but when i was playing yesterday with stings a bit I got good FPS only when i set forest = 0 and shadows = 0. Water = 0 was also needed. And another fine thing. When I enable my nav lights frames drop for 15FPS instantly So much fun it's hard to describe.

[Pilot1981]

I don't see why You should have any problem. my Sapphire 3870 settings as tiger88 except that I have AA set to 8x edge-detect and I run a single card, not crossfire. I have water=2(highest u can go with ati),forest=3,typeclouds=1 and effects=1(for the contrail guncam mods,effects=2 work well as well before that), and res 2480x1024(with enableresize=1 in config.ini.
3870 shuold really run it with no problem.
I'm using ccc 9.3. Do u have any special effects mods(fire,smoke,etc) that might be slowing down?
If you have installed a lot of mods,when was the last time you defragmented your computer?
Perhaps it's vista(I mean the fact that your running it with direct x 10).In that case, I would imagine that special effects addodns could signifficantly drop your FPS(I speak under correction)
