Feedback: nvidia users and shadows/performance

I also noticed a wierd 'sticking' when looking at the middle of one of the torpedo racks in the bow compartment. No characters or shadows in view, just literally the texture. It's 100% reproducible and literally feels like the mouse is physically sticking to the pad.

1920 by 1080 Widescreen
AA slider half way.
Shadow slider half way.

In the CR it slows down to high teens low twenties.
Everywhere else high 20's, low 30's.

Smooth enough to play well.

AMD X2 4800
Nvidia 9800GT
WinXP Pro SP3

I was surprised at the smoothness, played the St. Lawrence river single mission. Driving rain, rough seas, plenty of pitch and roll and the frame rates are smooth on the CT!

Happy camper!

GTX250 here and no issues with frame rate and shadows. Smooth as can be.

Arclight · 03-03-10, 12:06 PM

Driverversion?

GermanGS · 03-03-10, 04:19 PM

Geforce 9800GTX+ X2 SLI, VSync 512mb each
Vista X64, SP2
4gb mem

Without any shodows all maxed out 70-120 frames under any circumstances.
With shodows, everything on max 10-20 frames, and jittaring water, Especially slow in Control Room
With shodows, everything on low 20-25 frames, and jittaring water, Especially slow in Control Room

Things are pretty swimmy/laggy inside the sub for me. When I get home I'll post my stats.

Ziggy · 03-03-10, 12:41 PM

Nvidia 9500

High except shadows to 0 (I think)
AA to half

I still see shadows but they are kinda crappy shadows(Who really looks at the shadows while they play). With shadows max, same as everyone else. Turn shadows down and it runs fine.

Same here. Nvidia 8800GT OC 512. With everything maxed and AA half, and shadows off, it runs with decent framerates. Turn on any shadows at all it becomes unplayable. Might be time to upgrade

Win7 x64 / GTX295 / 196.75 / 1920x1200 / bells & whistles on

Framerate is a bit pokey inside the sub with shadows on, much faster with them turned off.

Capt.Warner · 03-03-10, 06:21 PM

Win7/64x
Nvidia Geforce 9400 GT
Fraps are bad in Control room,Watch tower a bit and The Diesel room is by far the slowest

Factor · 03-03-10, 09:37 PM

9800 GTX here.

Have 15-25 fps with shadows on. 40-60 with shadows off. running AA halfway on it's slider.

If i close a few doors, i get more fps.

Portman · 03-03-10, 11:43 PM

Mine is choppy when I'm in the sub, shadows are on the lowest setting. I'll report back tomorrow with results from turning them on and off.

Do we want to report this to Nvidia or wait to hear from the devs?

Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Core i7 920
Geforce GTX 285
Driver 196.21

Try the new driver (196.75). It's slightly better and gave about 5 extra fps in control room. I have same system as you

R-T-B · 03-04-10, 03:33 AM

Dual GTX 280's here. Shadows misbehave (act glitchy) and perform very badly under SLI. Turn off shadows, and all is well.

Probably a driver issue.

capthelm · 03-04-10, 03:35 AM

got the game i can confirm performance is terrible for nvidia users running a good card here GTX260OC version.

=control room massive frame rate hits?
=external is very glitchy in performance

dev team need to address all round frame rates for nvidia users.
