Froglips Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I know there are a few of you who have discovered both Helios and SoftTH. I was getting single digit frame rates when I ran Helios with my four monitor set-up. I have a 26" 'camera' monitor, a 21.5" touch screen for the Helios display, and two USB monitors for the Shkval (10" Mimo) and Abris (9" Doublesight). The USB monitors and Helios were causing the horrendous frame rate hit for sure. I my config.SoftTHconfig file below you will note that display 2 (head 1 to SoftTH) is turned off for BS. There are disadvantages and advantages to doing this. Advantages BS and Helios are not both trying to write to the same monitor and the SoftTH output rectangle is significantly smaller. The disadvantage is you cannot output things like the Abris and Shkval to a monitor that BS cannot see. The big advantage of SoftTH v2.06 (just released) is the framerate limiter. I have cut the resolution to the Abris and Shkval in half (512x300) and set the maximum frame rate to 5fps. This has not created any visual difference I can see. I am running a pair of 560Ti cards in SLI. I am getting 25fps on the runway and down in the trees. I was getting 7-9 fps in the same places. If I can help give me a shout. I am hardly an expert but I got one machine working.

Migow Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) the game 3D engine is crap it has huge cpu limitation:mad:: with i7 2600k you can have twice fps than 8500 core 2 duo :thumbup: graphic card wont imporve performance even sli(it 's even worse) Edited September 17, 2011 by Fifou265 1 member of 06 MHR / FENNEC Mi-24P
