124SqZeljava Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Well, like the thread talk it for it self. I don`t know is it true, but if it is, maybe could be the best way for the best set up in graphic in game, of course with modman too, he will always help. Ok for now i have try with two USB Flash of 4 GiG and set them up in Win 7 64 bit to be for "Ready Boost" and i have got good result, i will not say how much, i will leave that to the ED team so they can test it properly with their big knowledge base. If they say it is good and possible then this game will be so much fun like it was never before. Today we have not many fellas with strong rigs, but with this maybe a little more smaller rigs could do better for maybe 10 to 20 fps, who knows, like i said lets hear them or some ED Tester who got i believe it is enough 1 of 8 GiG USB flash memory disc to turn it in "Ready Boost" what ever that mean, sorry i don`t really understand that, is it some kind of virtual memory or like SSD HDD, never mind i just wanna fly with decent fps. Cheers mates and S! P.S. If this thread was before, then accept my apologies for being hot interesting to look around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotasso Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Ready boost is basically a cache on the flash USB drive. It is faster on reading operation than HDD's but slower on writes. Thats why it takes some time to cache data before it can read from it (meanwhile all data is used on the HDD as usual). An SSD uses much faster ROM memory and thus can execute all tasks an HDD does except much faster (in either reads and writes). Its a heavy investiment but well worth IMHO. Most people like to spend on expensive graphics cards with dubious prectical benifits (most times as a result of online marketing only!) but they could easely afford a mid range card+SSD for similar ammount of money that would actually give them the best upgrade than a single card could do. An SSD nowadays costs about half as much as high end graphics card. Its a question of shifting priorities.

EtherealN Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I'd add one comment to Pilotasso though - this depends on usage patterns. For example, I myself really don't see myself using a volum that is less than half a terabyte for pure convenience reasons (this might be made up of two 256GB SSD's though if practical). There's nothing that annoys me as much as having to keep watching free space and uninstall games just because I don't use them at the moment. :P So for me personally, the suggestion Pilotasso gives is not really applicable, but for people that have a less chaotic gaming situation than I have it is definitely good advice.

Cali Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I'd rather go SDD and one reason is I only have a few games installed. 3 flight sims and 2 FPS. On my 250GB HD now I have 154GB free, so I'm doing just fine....a 256GB SDD will do me just fine. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I've been using Readyboost on a 4gb flash drive with DCS series sims for the past few months, and i have to say with my particular setup with a slow HDD it is beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 What kind of improve did you see? Far faster loading and less HDD thrasing with textures and scenery, and this was with 4gb of system RAM too. Since then i've gotten ahold of 8gb of DDR3 so things have improved further, but i still think the readyboost is helping things along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayGlow Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I wonder if ReadyBoost will work even better with a Usb3 drive.

Pilotasso Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) It should but mind to get a USB3 rated pen on a USB 3 port also, only then youll see further differences. USB 2 pen on a USB 3 port or vice-versa will get you no improvment.

124SqZeljava Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 Okay, im glad that i am right about Ready Boost. So for now on, who don`t have enough money for good upgrade like i am, and maybe have 2, 4 or 8 gig USB flash, he can use it for Ready Boost to get some extra FPS. I with 4 gig ram, 3,1Ghz OC(i think this is my finally oc of mine cpu) and 2 times 4 gig Ready Boost equals 8 GiG, now i can finally set up FC 2 on High settings just not water, water is still on normal and shadow is on lowest and for me i don`t need nothing better than this kind of shadow, we are all most in the air, only shadow i see it`s from the clouds which is nice btw , and medium FPS is 30 to 40, but never under 20 fps, so that`s it, if anyone have some better idea, it would be very good to bring it on, cos we all wanna to run this thing nice and smooth, cheers S!
