Yeah, I'm not complaining... Just curious since my biggest problem was stutters which are improved.

I'm pretty convinced that stutters are related to some kind of disk access. I 'feels' like something is being loaded in each time they occur.

It could be. Try using a RAM drive if you have enough spare, seems to work for some people. If this makes a difference it will only be in the stuttering, not FPS on which it has no effect.

Its very strange its over land, and not water, i get good gamplay over warter, but over land its not that good
ive also noticed if you do a fps check over land its only building and trees that have the worst effect,

Wow your spec is very similiar to mine and yet I am not seeing anywhere near these performance numbers. Which driver are you using?

270.51 BETA but FPS is similar with the stable version. If you haven't already then disable aero theme in win7 and exclude the steam folder from your antivirus.

Question: should tracks taken pre-patch have performance change post-patch? If so (and I don't see why not) then there is zero FPS change on my rig on a free flight over Dover. Of course, if pre-patch track FPS won't change post-patch then I guess I wasted my time!

Excellent post, I see no difference either.
do you manually take note of these settings and then put them in a spreadsheet ?

I started Fraps monitoring at exactly the same time in the track for each condition, just after the initial stutters stopped and it started running smoothly. Fraps output gave the mix/max/avg for each condition and I just copy/pasted these to tabulate.

Wow. Thank you for this information. I appreciate your efforts to test this in a structured manner. I don't even have the game yet but I've been reading this forum for weeks and this information you posted finally gives me some distinct impression of how the game will run on my system.

Thanks!

Hey.
The beta patch is out!
Have read the Beta Patch thread and seen that a lot of people got very little performance, or even no performance at all.
I know it's a beta patch, but it's supposed to make some preformance ?
Now im even more worried for the real patch to come... I have the feeling that the real patch will do little preformance to the game. I have installed and tested the game with the patch and the right version. No preformance at all. Got the same fps over water, trees and cities. It's even more stutters now than before... The game crashes... The list goes forever.

Sorry for my bad English.
