I can only make capture at half screen size, but when I playback the Video I experience colours artifacts. Inflight sequencies are missin some RGB channel, in games menus are correctly rendered
Thx

I'm capturing full size at 30fps. I don't know what might be causing your artifacts, sorry. There's a setting called 'Force lossless RGB capture (may be slower)', maybe you could try that.

Here's another clip - http://www.vimeo.com/21929549

It looks to me like Vimeo has compressed a lot of details out of this one, it's clearer on the 1280x720 version that you can download via the link on the lower right of the screen. Do that if you want to see it in more detail.

This one was slowed down as much as possible then sped up 800% instead of 400%. I think it makes the movement look more normal, but it also speeds up the jerkiness of the camera I was trying to control as slowly as possible with TrackIR, sorry about that.

It does look gorgeous, doesn't it?

Sadly, there is no way in hell my humble PC could cope at those settings. Upgrade time?

I wouldn't upgrade until the performance optimizations are complete and there's a clear path that will lead to definite results. I'd need to know what hardware will let me play at what settings and then decide what those settings are worth buying hardware for.

On maxed out graphics settings I've seen single digit frame-rates over cities. That means, even if optimizations end up doubling frame-rates over those areas, it still won't be playable, only giving a maximum of 20fps. If SLI gets fixed and it scales 100%, then that, combined with the optimizations, could give me 30-40fps, maybe. But I don't want to go SLI. So I'll have to decide what settings I want to turn down, (probably about 10-15 fps worth.)

Playing maxed out, in all locations, with an i7 920 @3.8GHz and a GTX580 just isn't going to be an option by the look of it. Not that I expected it to be...

Sorry, just thinking out loud. I guess what I'm saying is, we're all in the same boat, as I think even when it's fully optimized by the developers, CloDo will humble all our PC's for a couple of years yet. You can only optimize so much before you have to accept the sheer amount of stuff you're dealing with will have to dictate what kind of performance you can get. No news there.
