Since I installed some 3 months ago my second graphic card I did feel and notice a 10% increase of fps... even if the game does not support this feature. Sorry but I am not unmounting my second graphic card to test this.

Just disable SLI in NVidia control panel.

I have a multitude of crashes but never any dump files or *.dmp and log is on in the conf files. Strange is it not?

This, if you think there a problem with SLI enabled just disable it in your NVidia Control Panel and try again.

Through I remember a thread where some members made a working SLI profile for CLOD, The NVidia Control Panel itself give options to create a SLI profile and select the SLI mode to test.

I´ll blind shot and say that maybe not all of them but those crashes can be caused by your overclocked CPU.

Maybe the overclock is unstable and the Launcher.exe is just locking down, that's why it did not created a dump file before close itself.

You can try test the game at CPU´s default clock, if there no crashes then you found the culprit.

For the crases I am certain it is not the CPU nothing else does crash. I never got any dump files even before I tried to overclock my CPU it it since I installed the last Alpha/Beta patch 1.07.
For the sli I do not know I have only one other game on my PC and it is ROF not the best game to test it because every type of PC does run ROF is it not?
I have tested the game again with SLI min fps at High level 07 without sli min fps high level 11 but when I try with sli but with the physx to cpu fps min high level 09 I did more than one test and got always nearly the same results.

About overclocking, the main goal of any overclock attempt is stability, its not good enough with load Windows and jump into the desktop because your CPU can be unstable under a big load of process, it can go into Windows and run low demanding programs and then crash on the high demanding ones, that´s why the overclockers runs burning tests for hours, to reach a 100% stable overclock.

you seems to know about this so I'm not saying this to you but to the audience for everyone sake.



What is for sure is that the performance of your computer is strange, I have better results with my ancient and burned dual core and my cheaper ATI 5870, I had a quick fly over your places and this is what I got


First all this is my configuration at 1920x1200 :



* Note that AA is off because I´m using SMAA :

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?p=409386

It is enabled in his preset SMAA_PRESET_CLOD_HIGH.


Screenshots :









But not all was well ...








The result is better than yours, it still low FPS but good enough for my hardware, and the only crash I had is the one in the picture.

I can have nice fights just avoiding London, over usual landscape 30-40 FPS at low altitude and without problems over the chanel (over 50 FPS).

Im happy with this performance, its good enough to have some clashes but I'm building a new rig, new board and quad-core CPU, and also looking for a 3GB videocard too


Hope you get your problems sorted, cheers ...

Guess some should read FS~Phat's article in the technical posts about settings and ram usage. I have a system much lower in performance than most but use Sli. I have included some screen shots low down near Tower Bridge similar to the posts here along with screens of my video settings. I have only a 19" monitor so my resolution is 1280 x 960. As you will see there can be a major difference in performance by turning down some (not all) settings.
See my sig for system. I'm also using Nvidia inspector and have experimented with Sli set up.

As you will see from the screens of London in the top RH corner the V/ram is at full use but the rest of the system is well balanced . My cards are from different stables and the Asus has always run cooler than the EVGA.

Did you create an SLI profile? By default there isn't one.....this game don't use physx either

Yes I did and if physx are not used by the game why does it invluence the results?! Same for the sli when one change the sli manager(s) from the game to the graphic card driver(s).
When I say I put my settings at very high it is all my settings (one click change).
This is a track file, I hope it works, of this short test mission in a Spitfire MKIa oct.
