RamblingSid Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Evening (NSW time) all, I'm new here, although I have flown OFF for a year or so. Have struck a problem with running OFF since acquiring a 27 inch 1920x1080 monitor. FRPS are way down compared to my previous 22 inch 1680x1050 screen: 6-8 Vs 30-45. That's no good at all. In fact OFF is unflyable and, believe me, I have tried. I have checked the new resolution in OFF Workshop, NVIDIA control Panel and Windows. All ok. Sliders set at 52251. My system: E6850, 8600 GT, 2G RAM, Vista Have I missed something here ? I am more curious than anything as the whole debacle spurred me into updating the entire system: 2500K, GTX 570 OC, 8G RAM, Windows7. Many thanks for a great forum to go with an extraordinary sim.

RamblingSid Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Hi Uncleal. thanks for your reply and sorry for any confusion - I should have been clearer. Do not get the new system until later this week. The low frame rates are with the E6850/8600GT/Vista set-up. I expect you are right abt Vista, this is the first real prob I've had tbh. Not very used to posting so apols if the reply is a bit out of kilter. RS Please Excuse . . . I'm a bit confused after reading your post. Does the Low FPS condition exist presently with the Windows 7 rig OR Did the condition exist, prior to the upgrade to Windows 7 ?. . . If that's the case . . . you've stumbled onto one of reasons why Microsoft came out with Windows 7 when it did The utter unpredictability of VISTA . . which I'm glad I never had to deal with. My last rig was in XP <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you're presently having the low FPS woes . . . I'd look at the monitor. . as I've run a 27" for quite awhile . . .and when I got Windows 7, it installed it on it's own . . which totally surprised me . . .I had the Driver Disc in my hand Which causes me to think of an interesting possibility Is the Windows 7, distributed Down Under, lacking that feature ? I'd run the installation disc Quote
