I see the requirements say 64 bit

[sage0030]

so it does suppose 64 bit and win7?

[MTFDarkEagle]

no that's recommended ;)

[sage0030]

no that's recommended ;)

 

 

so its not actually 64 bit application then?

[Pilotasso]

You can choose between the 2, or install both

[Feuerfalke]

You can install 32bit and/or 64bit. The 64bit is obviously only available if you have a 64bit OS installed.

all dcs should be 64 :pilotfly:I will buy this for sure simply because of the 64 bit version part, I saw the start up video lastnight looked really tight,

[Feuerfalke]

64bit allows more memory to be used. That may increase memory caching and loading times, maybe even to hold more stable FPS over intense areas, but it does not magically accelerate your simulation in general.

I have tried both 32 and 64 bit and do not see a difference.

 

NOW, this is an unoptimized BETA so it's too soon to say much. Also, at present, TIR no go in 64 bit, which is mission kill for me in 64.

it also runs better on what application its made for, if its true 64 bit application it will be more optimized for that and so on,

[Hekktor]

installing 32bit (coz tir driver missing atm) parallel to the 64bit version needs another activation or can i just run the setup a 2nd time but choose 32bit and another installation folder?

tick the box so both will be installed, no separate folder necessary.

You get the choice of 32bit when installing the 64bit, they are a combined install, no need for a separate folder. The same activation key works for both.

 

Edit:- Too slow :)

if its on the same pc its not going to cost another activation I can tell you this with all dcs products, im thinking even if its different 32/64 bit side by side, just dont activate the other installation if its on same pc im guessing, somone may come in here and correct that,

What is the peak working set (RAM) for DCS:A10 on your system? If it doesn't exceed 2GB then that would explain why you don't see an improvement with the x64 exe. How much RAM does your system have? Which OS?

[Steel Jaw]

6 GB DDR 3 RAM 1600 speed.

 

All things being equal, should I not see SOME performance improvement going from 32 to 64 bit?

 

Because I don't.

[Para_Bellum]

I have tested both 32- and 64 bit versions on my system and have noticed absolutely zero difference in FPS.

like the above post said if your in a really big fire fight or what have you, and your on a 64 bit os and say that system has like 4 gig in it the simulation can take up to 4 gig of ram or what ever that is not being used up to 4 gig, but if your on 32 bit os that as far I know can only use 3 gig of ram your performance may lack a little, but I already notice difference on load times, but thats just me, :D depends on situation, MORE POWER TO 64 BIT OSes.

Again I say: why do I not see any improvement? The stuttering is the same.

Because all things are not equal, Lots of crap to take into account before making any assumptions.

For example: your ram is kick @ss for sure, but hows that hard drive? Can it maintain enough throughput to even take advantage of all that band width?

Unless it's a SSD/RAID set up, I'd say no.

Then there's your GPU ram, 512mb Correct? If you have all the candy MSAA/HDR ect,ect You use up your Vram and again your HDD has to pick up the slack.
