huge fps drop when.... | Forums

[Cnnbs.TR]

Hi guys,
My problem is a bit strange,
I am having massive FPS drops when a land part is within my view.
Let me clarify a bit,even with perfect settings with water=2 and effects=2 @1280x1024 4xAA and 48 ai planes in coral sea game is smooth,no huge fps drop...but when i fly over mountains islands etc. fps drops dramatically.

I am having this problem even with low settings,like textqual=1, sounds off low resolution without AA.

1 vs. 1 dogfight in crimera,average fps above land:10-20,average fps above water:60-40.

I am absolutely sure my problem is about some setting about land quality i've tried lowering following settings but no luck so far
texqual,texmipfilter,texlandqual,landdetails.

I remember playing this game smoothly a few months ago with my pc but after uninstall/reinstall this drops started.
Thx in advance

srry for double post.

Think about it, there is much more detail on the screen when you are over land, trees etc. Water is just one flat polygon with on pixel shader effect, with no moving things at all, its no wonder it doent take many resources.

Are you sure this isnt just normal slowdown and that you have the settings too high for the card?

The 7600 is after all a mid range card. Turn the AA and AF down.

I can't use AA or AF on my 7600; it's too much to ask with Perfect settings
