Thank Sadsid,
I agree with you, today a good graphics card is not enough , more and more processes are transferred from the CPU, Hard Drive and memory. PhysikX and DirectX 11 are further evidence of this. Therefore It Is important that a system fits together to avoid a bottleneck.
I known that most problems lie with the user, a modern game needs a modern and well-configured PC.
For me the Schiffsim runs at around 25-27 fps with high settings, this is not so much but It's ok, finally I have an old graphics card.
I run Shipsim on core 3 and 4. The other programs are using core 1 and 2.
I've been running shipsim with 2 x 3Ghz, both cores are working equally. A test with 2 x 3.6 does not bring more fps. At 1x 3 Ghz it runs only 2-5 fps slower.
Why NVIDIA Cards are running only at 30-35% in the Port. The same but 10-20 Fps more, with GTX 470 and GTX 570.
The water uses Nvidia PhysikX technology, clear that the card works with 100%. But why not in the port, what draws so much power in the harbor.
Sure, all the Objects and textures need to be processed by Hard Disk, CPU, Ram and GPU, but with a modern and well-configured Gaming PC, this should be no problem!!
Is there something wrong with the programming?
Or is the software already more advanced than the hardware!
Whatever it is, a comparable ATI graphics card can handle it better and get 5-10 fps more. At sea she is 5-10 fps slower than NVIDIA. I've tested the Ati Card on the same system.
It's no problem to buy a new graphic card every 1-2 years. But It is difficult if the old is 70% under her Limit.
I'm looking forward to a solution.
Regards
Thor
