With the stock TvT game I can run smooth with the highest settings. It's a good running rig... but just not up to par with the new games.

IL-2 I can run a mission using Uber Demon's program with 200 aircraft. Which is a real p*sser just to survive! LoL

your AMD XF-57 with the 2 7800 GTX's sounds like a good running PC.
How dow you think it would run with just one 7800GTX?

When I first picked up this rig back in 2005 it was just a single card... I later added the second card. With some games there is not that much diffence with game play or settings with the game. With IL-2 for say... there is just a small gain with the game graphics and game play. It all depends more on the game engine as to which runs better with SLI.

My new rig will have just one EVGA GTX 580... but the mother board a ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ 990FX USB 3.0 is setup for SLI... so I can add another card if the need arises.

Did you try this fix for the SLI and CrossFire issue with Microsoft Vista

I am running XP Pro with the old rig... and with the new rig I'll be running Windows 7 Pro. Over the years I was more than happy with what it could do and still can do... it did just about everything I piled on it. LoL

But like a 1965 Mustang... great car and still is... the newer Tang is much more of a ride... my youngest brother has a 67/289 convert by the way. It's Wicked!

Hi Zee and Camerades Zee your latest additions have left me in absolute awe. Some of the frames showing the recent work are almost beautiful!!! but I hasten to add ---in a manly, Panzer Commander sort of way !!!!
(I put that in for Lc!!

). I am hugely looking foreward to your further development, I think this winter I shall mostly be shooting the frost off the T34s (if I get over the bridges OK).
I digress to add the "new" house has a "Fuhrer Bunker" ---- well basement actually; that I intend to put my Simming Gear into. All going to plan just got to get it up and running before I die

, much of the work has made me feel that this event could materialize sooner than expected

. Other than that, the British summer continues in typical fashion.

Seeing previous comments I feel compelled to report on all things SLI and Crossfire; I often take a magazine called "Custom PC" and the editor stated in the September 2011 edition (yeah it's a month early!) that all multi GPU setups to date are poor performers; due to either driver issues or just compatibility. Best results (fastest frames) all resulted from top of the range GPUs fitted in single slots (i.e. no SLI/Crossfire). Best overall was the Radeon 6970 to date!! Nuff said. If you can access the review it makes interesting and compelling reading. I for one wouldn't go for twin Graphic Cards after reading the test results.

Anyway all for now, still watching in the wings, all the best Morty

I thought the 1965 Mustang had the 289, and the 67 convert had the 327

Hey Morty!

Thanks man. Winter in August sounds good when the temp was up in the
80'sf.

As far as the SLI stuff I've been interested because I have a MB that has the
2x 16mhz PCI Express 2.0 slots. And it will be sometime before any PC
upgrades for me. There is two things that one needs to be concerned about
first (there is more but) if you are considering SLI:

1.)A Motherboard that can run both PCI Exp slots at 16Mhz and
2.) If your cards are compatible.

Just some stuff to consider if your stuck with the old stuff Morty.

Hi ZW,

so first impression on WM1 is woooaaahh!! Fantastic. I enjoyed this mission verry much. Colour is great, envirionment is great. Love the sky!!
There are some texture issues with the ground (only minor)
BUT this one was fantastic. Shooting tanks!!!

German Mission 1

I tested GM1 . The envirionment has changed, AI has changed. COOL. I dont know exactly what but its different (better). Oh yes, airplanes too.
My Tiger had now a brown cammo, not a green one.

I have found some issues.
1, The KV 85 rear is to heavy protected.

Please tweak it. We shot more than 15 rounds in his a.., engine but we couldnt destroy it. The KV 85 was heading away from me.

2, Leaving the town and heading towards the ZIS guns i saw strange grey lines circles in the air, closing in they disappeared.

This for the first one, going back to see/test more.

PS. Thank you for your hard work and keep the updates coming.

Sorry i must leave, my Tiger has to engage the enemy now

KdF · 08-07-11, 09:23 AM

Played the Beta mission, 10.5 fps average with Geforce 560-TI's SLI'ed.
Still very playable.
Still pulling right or left a bit depending on where you are on the map.
Wish you could get the sight to stay set where the AI gunner is shooting to be set to say 1600 when you take over the position, instead of having to re-set the sight.
Won of course.

Move along, nothing to see here.........

Great LC, Thanks,

I think the issue with the KV85 is in the model it self (Collision Shapes), and
I can fix that. The grey lines is an issue with the road textures being placed
right on both terrain zone map and the router zone map. And I can fix that
as well. These will be included in the patch that will be created after more feed back is in.

Angriff!

Well so much for my SLI theory,

I get that with my nVidea 8600GT,
Last night I modified the playable Tigers and the smoothness of their
suspension - this will have a noticeable effect (for the better) on this
pulling issue and this will be in the upcoming patch. As for the Gun site
being set to a specified range; this would create a problem because the
range adjustment is connected to the mouse wheel zoom. And when you
change view (as Gunner ) to F6 and zoom in and out around the outside
of the tank, this mouse wheel action is at the same time changing the
Gun Site range. So, quick fix for you is; Find an F6 view zoom distance
you like then go in the F5 or F3 view at set the Gun range using the
Keypad 7 (zoom in) and Keypad 1 (zoom out). This is not a hard solution
but in the meantime it will give me time to figure something out.

Bewegung vorwärts!
