New RAM is great!!!

Just got my new set of OCZ Reaper 2x2048MB 1066mhz CL5 sticks!
And i just thought i'd say WOW... the improvement is phenomenal!
No more autogen stuttering or stutterting when panning around...
Everything would be perfect if it werent for...
Well i also upgraded my graphics card from a 512mb 9800gtx+ to a 1024mb GTX 280, as a result i cant use the /3GB switch anymore with a Userva=2560 value..... so i cant have a glorious LOD radius of 9.000000 :banghead:

Ah well, i guess you win some and you loose some.

I wish !! Cool setup, wish I had your setup - :applause:

LOL !! My 7600 that I had to fall back on, Stutters so bad, I can take at least two sips of beer between each stutter, just did a minute ago too. Did a Flight from KLAX to KSAN last night dusted off a 12-pack - :isadizzy:

I have dreams of a smooth flight - Someday !!

7600 ouch!
I have nightmares of the stuttery low-fps nightmare FSX was on my old 7800GS!

How about lowering the userva value a bit?

[Alexraptor]

The question is though if it will even be worth it.
Because with my current calculations it would only be an additional 286mb if anything.

Well, give it a try anyways. It's not that your PC is going to explode if the setting doesn't work. :d


Other than that, you might need to change your OS. Try XP x64 or Server 2003 x64 or so.

[Alexraptor]

Actually i was thinking of waiting until Win 7 x64 ;)

May 5th, Release Candidate 1.


So...soon...

[Alexraptor]

Only hope Nvidia comes out with better Beta drivers too. Crysis is an artifacting mess in the current win 7 beta and beta drivers, and in DX10 mode it crashes with the win 7 ntdll.dll.

So yeah, hope RC1 is better lol.

[Alexraptor]

Wow 64-bit OS sure increases performance dramaticly.... got new drivers allthough they are still buggy in Win7 lol.
But with the realflight hellcat i got steady 30fps all over Megascenery Hawaii with autogen on dense and scenery detail very dense, plus the 9.000000 LOD radius, no stuttering.
But when i say they are buggy its that when i go into the VC there is no cockpit!, so yeah i think ill stick with XP-32 until Win7 and drivers mature a wee bit more. :icon_lol:
