Pupo, before I install my new card, have you disabled aero in launcher properties? And can a knowledgable person tell me if this would make a difference to the effect?

I currently have the same card as you, with aero disabled.

Many thanks.

Edit: This was when I still had my 5770 installed

Ok mate, I'll run a quick 'black death' before and after your settings. Cheers.

can someone post screenshots of the sunglare before and after changing the conf.ini file?
cause i looked at the sun, and didnt recognize a difference.at least not that much that i could really tell.
but i my impression is, that the colours are affected by that change.everything looks more bright i think.i first recognized that when looking at explosions.they seem to be less orange and more bright yellow now.but that could be placebo....

I reverse the numbers, remains the same... But I don't have anymore the "all screen white" sun glare, with any of the settings...

This sim is strange... The FACT is that last week I can't even look NEAR sun and all my screen looks white. Now it's normal.

I give up! I can't understand these things!

And I can't notice FPS further increases in my rig. I was amazed with corrected sun glare, but maybe other things do the trick...

Ok, here are my Black Death results. I always run through the track twice with each set of changes, because the first run always stutters, the second run smooths out.

1) Frames 4538, Time (ms) 217138, Min 3, Max 60, Avg 20.899
DepthBits =24
StencilBits=8

2) Frames 4596, Time (ms) 217452, Min 4, Max 59, Avg 21.136
DepthBits =24
StencilBits=8

3) Frames 4545, Time (ms), 217788, Min 3, Max 61, Avg 20.869
DepthBits =32
StencilBits=16
(only changed in documents)

4) Frames 4612, Time (ms) 217957, Min 4, Max 58, Avg 21.160
DepthBits =32
StencilBits=16
(only changed in documents)

5) Frames 4534, Time (ms) 216676, Min 3, Max 60, Avg 20.925
DepthBits =32
StencilBits=16
(Changed in docs and game file)

6) Frames 4594, Time (ms) 217235, Min3, Max 58, Avg 21.148
DepthBits =32
StencilBits=16
(Changed in docs and game file)

All settings on Medium plus grass, shadows, roads - AA off, epi off, ssao off, vsync off. All CCC settings at 'application controlled' and highest performance settings.

Sorry pupo, no difference here. I wonder what else could be causing it for you? Strange.

Edit: this test was done with my 5770 before I swapped it for the gtx570 in the sig.

Small increase here in FPS maybe 5+ but still have stutters and freezes. The change with the sun i think is just placebo effect.
