No need to aplogise, it is very frustrating when you have a GPU that cost a lot of money and the game you bought it for runs like crap. To be honest I was more worried you would go purchase an Nvidia 570 or 580 thinking this must work now, then find out that the stutters and glitches are still there.

Imagine how you would feel about CoD then

Have you tried the latest patch? If so, is Crossfire working for you?

Yes it is working but not without glitches. It is stuttering quite a bit but FPS is higher using two rather than one card (2x 6970s). If I have Vsync enabled I get strange squares on the canopy framing when I move my head.

Still get the 3 blue lines using dx10 mode, so have to revert back to dx9
Same pig ugly Jaggies
Seems to me, ATi users have been shafted

Forgot to add shimmering tree's and house's

Wellll.... IL2 1946 UP MOD is pretty awesome with a new Mod about to be released... this gets me through the WWII SIM craving. Also, another really good diversion is the A10-C Warthog Sim from DCS that is pretty awesome.
So if you tire of this debacle, there are working SIMS that could satisfy until this one is figured out.


I have an ATI HD 5970 and I do not overclock CPU or GPUs
I have not seen the blue lines. I have been able to tweak out the issues most seem to be having. I don't have any jaggies.

I don't fully understand all the nuances of what does what with all the Graphics settings and tweaks.

I can tell you that whether it makes sense or not, these changes worked for me. I have the Sim running pretty well right now. The shimmering is still there but is reduced.

Changed PAM to 64 from 14
Renamed Logo.waw to stop UBI Splash in EU version which reportedly locked clock speed to 400
Changed Render to D3DD_11 from D3DD_10

Try this conf ini from sukhoi forums to remove ati stripes.

I can not check if it helps as I do not have this problem.

I didn´t try it because Im not behind my computer but I did dl the conf.ini and had a look at it since I spent days tweaking my own in the past and pretty much tried out every single setting.

I personally would have been very surprised had it worked but thanks anyway for the link, always worth a try innit?

About the Process Affinity Mask, I would just leave the ; in front of it in the conf.ini to keep it disabled. Windows normally handles core assignment pretty fine by itself and tweaking this often does more harm than good. The 64 setting is aimed at a 6 core processor if I´m not mistaken so it wouldnt be the right setting for your Quad so if you set it to anything it would be 15 yeah.

Sorry about this. I've also read that setting 16x aniso or 8x AA (or both) in the drivers may help.

Ive got them both plus Rice of flight, but to be honest, i only want Cliffs of dover, ive always had a fasination with the battle of britian

I also think that doing this Changed Render to D3DD_11 from D3DD_10
Reverts it back to dx9, but im unsure

Unsure what your on about here, Changed PAM to 64 from 14.......Were? and what does it do?

[Flanker35M]

S!

PAM = Process Affinity Mask. Can be found in the conf.ini file. Need to test if there's any difference with it on or disabled.
