Is the Mig vs Sabre tournament targeted only to russian participants? At least the link in the announcement is leading me to this conclusion.

Very, very good setup! How are the monitors conected, to which video cards? You are not using SLI... right. Is the intel video adapter used? How is general performance for this setup? Thank you

I do believe that 95% are into 1.5 :), which is a stable version for an open beta phase. Rest of 5% maybe did not heard yet about open beta :D

Well, these well crafted campaigns might be good to have a price for a server version... Or some conditions to be met by clients (owning a valid key) to be able to join a multiplayer server hosting payed campaigns... just as ideea to think about!

I can even add a 3rd GPU to take over this new layer of cloud :)

Blasphemy :lol::lol::lol:

EliteKatze, this game alone have almost 20 years of history. How good or bad it was, how it evolves, most of people in this community are already aware of... but they managed to become aware about this game roadmap in years of practice, reading, sharing their opinion. Being aware about above statements I am pretty much sure that your 2 or maybe few more month being around did not managed to be enough to accumulate the correct info. Stay around us, read more, follow up new threads, ask pertinent question and you will be amazed. Perfomances improve in 1.5 you say are not visible? This single idea cannot be more wrong than that... read more and you'll find out.

For me is not RALT+Enter but LALT+Enter... not very sure in which conditions either of those two shortcuts might work. To be sure I am in fullscreen I do have the Nvidia shadow play icon active. This icon is visible ONLY in fullscreen so it is my trigger to force or not the fullscreen command.

Leatherneck is cooking their bakery very well... there were roumours for one shot announcement : revealed - ready to install. Let's wait and see what willl really happens in the phase 2 of DCS new engine.

Probably the best beer in the world... errr... vodka... errr... plane.... well, at least it was :D and Leatherneck let us taste it...

I do have the configuration you have presented... actually a SLI config based on GTX770. (full description in signature) It is working great for me, on 4K resolution and full details is not going under 20FPS and is having a sustained 35-40FPS (no antialising used becasue is not needed). I also observer the 4G of video RAM is fully used. GPU usage is also at its maximum. On 1440p with some antialising and full details it goes up to 70FPS. One single 770GTX can sustain 1080p at 60+ FPS in DCS1.5 quite ok.

None of the workarounds proposed in this topic solved your problem? Or you just wait for official solving of this issue?

Even if the FPS is increasing with very few units when running in fullscreen the stutering however is completely gone. Maybe your case is more related to video memory... do you have more than 2G? To compensate this work with your game details lowering them until your graphic memory will not be exceeded.

For some reasons DCS 1.5 will not go fullscreen by itself no matter settings are in place. SLI functionality works only in fullscreen. After game have started force entering fullscreen by pressing Alt+ENTER.

+1 Really hope this will be taken in consideration!

It is not necessary to reinstall the old Windows version again. This is one of the good changes MS made regarding licensing OS. Once Win10 have been installed and activated on a machine, you can make so many bare metal reinstalls as you want without reactivation been required on the very same machine (unless you change some specific hardware inside, but this is another topic). So, you can safely make a clean Win10 reinstall on your machine in this moment.

I am using the MODIFIER to achieve double functionality and it applies very well to this situation with covered switches/buttons.

No, is not the only one and is not even something desirable for us. Just they already started that discussions with AMD :)... so they have the start advantage.

+1

MS know they don't have necessary infrastructure for this. There were various issues and curently they have an Dell partnership to cover their hardware all over the world. I think they will stick to consumer area of each CPU/GPU/mobile without taking high end devices under their umbrella. But, time will tell us, this is just my opinion :)

That is my thought too. Microsoft itself have a very clear roadmap for themselves and this is not fully focused to PC gaming. They are heading to "networked society" by any mean: PC, Xbox, mobile (phones and tablets). In this case they might be interested in AMD's APUs only... Something similar happens with Lumia. They bought just the brand Lumia from Nokia, not all. Right now Nokia is preparing to launch their first android phone... so Nokia did not died back then :D.

Some years ago (year 2000 i think) I get in contact with some of graphical stations based on some 128 bits processors (they were graphical 3D CAD unix stations). Curently we are back to 64bits... Hope will not happend the same for AMD... their perfomances are curently largely ahead their competition but is a harsh world and Nvidia can hurt them a lot....

First of all, we need to have AMD/Intel and AMD/Nvidia competition in place. Monopol on this area will have negative impact on us , the customers. If the CPU fight is quite clear and AMD just set their position on the market as the cheapest choice, on GPU the situation is a bit unclear for now. On long term if Nvidia will not re-assess their workarounds embedeed in their drivers and will not try to use DirectX API as straight as possible, as AMD is already doing, then I think the AMD GPU can have a greater success. Right now DirectX12 just put Nvidia in knees in front of AMD with the parallel processing feature... is not very mediated this situation for now but will come up soon. Will see how Nvidia new series can handle this, but will not be easy to discard or rework all "last moment" workarounds they did to adapt to each important game/engine in the market. And one think was never changed: ATI/AMD GPU presents ALWAYS sharper images than Nvidia... it always looked better than their direct competitor.

As Sith told, 16GB for gaming is generally enough.

Quite old machine if you have a 660TI card there. Consider upgrading your video card to something with 4GB at least and also a 64bit OS is mandatory so that you might be able to play on high settings. AMD cards are curently a good option too.
