Mr_Blastman Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 I finally got around to installing Windows 7. I remember hearing in the past that framerate doubles in Windows 7. What do I have to do to utilize these great benefits such as multiple cores? Do I need to use prifinitty?
Distiler Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Nope, just be sure you'r using BS 1.0.1 or 1.0.2, where the bug is fixed. It doesen't double framerate, but you can expect easily 30-40% more fps. AMD Ryzen 1400 // 16 GB DDR4 2933Mhz // Nvidia 1060 6GB // W10 64bit // Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2

EtherealN Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 The mentioned improvements apply to switching from XP to Vista or 7, assuming you have a dual-core machine (or quad etc). Actual benefits may vary depending on other system variables though, obviously.

As an aside note, I have tested the sim in Vista 64 disabling the HT of a i7 920 (so it shows only 4 cores) and the performance dropped noticeably. Vista, Suerte y al Toro! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bucic Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Does it apply to Windows Vista as well? ... Notes: Done on vanilla 1.0 With 1.0.2 + the "affinity trick" kicks in automatically. Win 7 may provide even greater performance increase compared to Vista. F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
Martillo1 Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 But indeed I would be happy with a 1.0.3 patch that fixes flight AI & button lights in PVI-800 :cry: Vista, Suerte y al Toro! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
