No generally 1 Gig Vram isn't enough but it really depends on your resolution. Most people are advocating 1.5-2 Gig VRAM. I have 3 Gig and play in 2560x1440

I have 3GB VRAM and the game uses them all, I've never had fps issues.

Similar performance for me, however it SEEMS to be slightly better, but not that much...here is hoping (as another user posted) they keep us current with the beta patches so we can in fact confirm and track, the changes/improvements, as they make major milestones (such as fixing some of the known buges posted)...



perhaps next poll for future beta patches you should add

"SLIGHTLY BETTER" AND "SLIGHTLY WORSE"

Thinking behind the poll was to gauge the order of magnitude of improvement. If it is only "slightly" anything I'd vote as same as before. For most people the perception of performance is not that accurate.

Since the expectations were raised to expect an order of magnitude of improvement, it is fair to rate "slightly better" as no improvement.

I'm starting to fall in love again.

I've been playing more and more recently and for me the beta/alpha has improved the smoothness of the game to no end. There are still things that cause issues namely grass (maybe?) trees (stutters still) and clouds (hammers FPS).

I've turned those off as they are yet to be optimised and I think if they do as good a job on those as they have on the engine, which is still clearly rough around the edges, then we are going to have a very nice game soon.

I'm only really playing offline as I am testing my settings and haven't had any crashes yet.

I also have the AI tweak mission files that Von Pilsner made and that's made offline play bearable and quite fun actually.

All in all I am feeling quiet positive and I would say that the improvement for me is more that the 'slight' I originally voted for as the stutters and pauses were a pain in the ass!

The one thing I would really like to see though is them get rid of the ridiculous lime green grass I bloody hate it.

Edited to say I can happily fly the London bomber intercept quick mission in 2560x1440 with most things on high (no need for AA or AF with that resolution) but I turn off trees and grass because I want to see if the game is smoother and stutterless) and I do turn off clouds but not religiously.
