New rig - all is silk smooth...

Mmm, but I'm running on a Samsung 2233RZ monitor (I love the 120Hz too much to swap it out!). So the resolution I use is 1680*1050. I guess you're not on your 30'' ?

I run it on my 30" but at 2560x1600 I get the jerkiness down low over land (to be expected generally speaking, though it doesn't happen in RoF) AND at 1920x1200, which I do NOT expect.

It's not a show-stopper, it's most noticable if I look away from straight ahead, and even looking 90-degrees sideways at 50m altitude it's not too bad. But RoF has zero and IS "silk-smooth".
The real show-stopper is the lock-ups. And the inability to run FSAA and AF is leaving the image looking very poor.

Get your eyes checked m8, at 2560x1600 FSAA is a nice to have , but don't do much for image quality.. only if you down size does i make a huge diff.

And if you can see the jaggies (jagged edges) on your 30" at 2560x1600 , then you should increase the distance to your screen..

Simple comparison between RoF and CoD at 2560x1600, both with x8 FSAA but RoF with also x16 AF, not one single jaggie to be seen in RoF, whereas in CoD there are shed-loads.

That's nice Mazex. Thanks for reporting back to us. I'm holding off for Ivy Bridge since I'm not flying anyway and if CoD survives this and that and expands this and that, it really is a good idea to upgrade. CHeers!

i play the campaign and it runs pretty good ....still low over the terrain i have some hick ups and frame rate issues .

S!

Congrats for your new rig. Good fly!

I´m running most Medium with some High´s, Vsync on, Grass off, 8xAA, 1920x1080@60Hz, clean 14413 install, 8xAA/8xAF in Nvidia CP.
Overall it flyies fine, specially over water. Over land I got micro stutters, not too bad, but you feel that is not flowing properlly. If I turn shadows off, it goes very, very smooth. Guess one of the problems are those flickering shadows under trees and trees also.
Besides that, the sim needs labor to fine tune it.

SP!
