Periscope FPS issue for the tech heads

@nipples:

I used to have the same problems with my X300 SE (slow edition). It's a comparable card, yet even slower than yours. I upgraded my drivers and now it runs the dipping the scope effect just as fast (read just as slow) as the rest...

try it!

cheers,
Garrincha

Well I upgraded to the newest version of cat drivers and turned AA down to 2x. The periscore it tolerable at this point but now when I do an external view of the sub my fps drops like a rock. Now I know this isnt a hardware issue bc the game runs fine with the wxception of these two spots. Also my external view was smooth as silk before I upgraded the drivers. Isnt anyone else having these spoblems with an ati card?

I'm using a X1950 XTX with 512Mb of GDDR4, so I don't think I'm much use to you as a comparison, sorry.

Try this... uncheck the square boxes "Controlled by aplication" or "Aplication Preference" i am not sure how it is called in english.... in both, AA and AF, and let the AA and AF in 2x.

Uncheck Temporal Antialiasing.

Check performance round box.

Try and comment...

Its going to take me a minute to get out of my current game and try that but I will give it a try and post back here in a few mins.

Hrrm well at first glance it seems to have fixed it.

thanks. Somwhere between the driver update, game restart, and changing the aa setting through catalyst instead of the toolbar shortcut the problem went away. In fact I could probably turn it back up to 4x AA now muahahahaha <---evil laugh
