RESUMÉE:

After following W0ef patch install this patch has further improved fps and graphics. Now i am able to turn on clouds and shadows, its really an eyecandy and gameplay is very smooth but CTD s are quite alot. I know its a beta patch but hopefully crashes will be fixed in the official release.

Cheers

That is absolutely pitiful. The poster of that video has dual 6990's in crossfire. There is absolutely no excuse for a game to not perform with that level of firepower under the hood. That's 4GB of VRAM people. Two of the fastest video cards on the planet. Practically every other game in existence will rock on that system. Heck I have an older HD5850 with only 1GB VRAM and I run Rise Of Flight, FSX, Wings of Prey etc. etc. in that resolution at full detail with no problems.

Translation. It's broke.

100% true.

But crossfire memory doesent work the same way than single gpu card, i mean i have 5970 2gb it really use 1gb.

Dude ... with that 5760x1080 resolution and x4 AA you are killing your VRAM, that is why the constant shuttering.

There no space in the VRAM to load the all the models, so they are rotating in the small free space, causing shuttering.

Lowering the settings makes your GPU fast but you will not free enough VRAM.

With 1GB of VRAM per GPU the best resolution is 1920x1080 perhaps 1920x1200, and even so you can have some occasional shuttering in high populated model zones, like London.

Dude ... Look at my system specs - crossfired 6990s = 8gb total that is 2 gb per GPU. Also, as I said - same stuttering happens even at the lowest settings.

The same rig has no issues with DCS-A10 with highest settings @ 5760x1080. Or anything else for that matter.

I am willing to bet this stuttering is from poor implementation of Crossfire/SLI support. Prior patch (Steam) did not have this issue.

SLI/Crossfire systems don't share VRAM , even if they are in the same pcb.

So you have 2 GB per GPU.

Try spread 1920x1080 in eyefinity, then increase it progressively to found a balance, 2920x1080 for example.

I guess you can reach 3920x1080 without problems.
