However, this graph IMHO shows you are being bottlenecked by your cpu, as the one running the sim main thread is almost maxed out. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

Pilotasso Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 yes the CPU does look the weakest link. However situation is reversed when I disable SLI. The solo chip is maxed out completely flat at the top of the scale. 9000 series are just not powerful enough to crank the graphs up, indicating possibly the need for series 200 and up, and ATI equivalents.

Pilotasso Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) How much memory your card has? 512MB? Mine too. And I see occasional color shifting (like rainbow psychedelics after taking LSD :D ) and what appears to be some Z buffering trouble on some ground textures surrounding buildings in relation to the terrain. I have flown mostly around Nellis in quick mission and first mission of instant action.

Tulkas Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Both done to no avail. Directx updated and Catalyst 10.9 installed. TEXTURES HIGH causes the mission not to start properly, sometimes it sends me back, sometimes I have to find my way out clicking on the corrupted fonts. Res. 1920x1080 if that helps.

Slayer Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 In the startup tutorial there was 1 cloud that was flickering. I pan around the whole area and it is the only cloud flickering. It looked exactly like the cloud flickering problem in LOFC except only the single cloud. Reloaded the game and it went away. I wanted to FRAPS it but haven't been able to reproduce it yet. Hardware config is in my sig. This was with the 32bit exe on Windows 7x64. Everything set to high 1920x1200 resolution.

Pilotasso Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) I guess you run at high res and a lot of AA and AF? No not realy. only 1680X1050, 8X AA, 8X AF. In SLI mode there is not much impact (60% load only) when switching on the shaders, but with 1 chip theres a 10 FPS difference. Without these shaders performance is similar with SLI on or off. The 8800/9800 cards are on the weak side nowadays.

Slayer Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Nvidia driver profiles-game detected as Blackshark The Nvidia driver is detecting DCS:A10C(32 & 64 ) as DCS:Blackshark and using those settings. Cannot delete the profile because it is integrated into the driver. I think its because the driver only looks for DCS.exe running and doesn't do a version check or anything. Not sure what driver level fixes Nvidia may have done for Blackshark but I would guess that they are not applicable to A10C ? I restored the profile to default so as not to cause instability until I can see what effect they have. Note: When the DCS:Blackshark .exe was renamed to simulator.exe in the 1.02 patch the driver started using the same settings as FC2 since they both now have the same name. The driver level fixes that are being used are for DCS:BLackshark 1.0 Very confusing. Not sure how to fix unless each game has a different .exe name or Nvidia's driver does a better detection method to distinguish between programs...

Pilotasso Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Noticed the same. Its because the EXE is named the same. Whatever changes you make, it affects both SIM's. I tested and verified this. Once both modules are updated to the same standards, it wont make much of a difference.

Smoky Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 SLI enabled = flickering Hi folks This has probably been covered, and I'll no doubt receive some flak, but I thought I'd pitch in... I searched on this and found nothing. When SLI is enabled on my eVGA/nvidia GTX 295 boards, DCS Warthog flickers when it enters the loading screen for a mission. It also will not load the mission. It just sits idle. However I am able to access Task Manager and close DCS to get things back to normal. Oddly, DCS does not close but instead returns to the mission select screen. When I disable SLI, everything works as it should. The sim loads, etc. Is this just a Beta issue? Will SLI be supported in the final release? I have never had this problem in any version of LOMAC or Black Shark. Thanks, and apologies in advance if this has been covered. If so, a pointer would help greatly. Thanks!

Kuky Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Don't know if this is due to this being a BETA or hardware/driver issue... I have missing terrain in mirrors on pretty much any settings... but I noticed on Water = Low only some parts of terrain are on/off but when Water = High no terrain is shown in mirrors (screenshot 1). I also find some buildings disapear in mirrors on very close distance. Also the building/textures in screenshot 2 are flickering non-stop and changing any settings I can't seem to find any difference (still flashing) PC setup as per signature Now I know my CPU is overclocked and you guys have said not to report anything if things are overclocked but I can't see this being the reason for missing terrain and flickering of textures so anyway... if no one can replicate this and I you want me to try something else let me know Edit: Screenshot 3 is on all setting on their max, only scenes are on Medium, but shows again terrain is missing in mirrors, and also there's some funny looking green texture that shows at certain angles.
