So are you saying the game actually buggers up your graphics card? I just paid £589 pound for mine and don't want to bugger it up.

Any graphics card that gets "buggered" by switching modes isn't worth the money paid for it.
That a graphics card gets "buggered" by that, belongs in the realms of fantasy.

Run a gpu monitor and make happen and you'll see why I think in the long term it will shorten gpu life. Or don't. I'm not really bothered tbh.

No no no.. when they said 3 day for this, 3 days for that, it was a typo, they meant 3 months for this, 3 months for that, so 9 months to fix the grass, clouds and tress, then they'll move onto other bugs & issues. Just have patience, they'll get it all done soon!

Actually when Luthier said 3 days for this and that, i did think could they have not taken the days needed to optimize the clouds and trees a month ago?

DCS series does this, it's really what your card was made to do any way.
switch back and forth, it all really depends on the driver code
if write well no problem, poorly then....
