Haven’t written a lot recently because I’ve been testing extensively with different tweaks on my system (mainly due to the addition of HD6970). Also, some more hardware changes and replacements are going on. Both consume a lot of time.
So far, there are two positive findings resulted from these tests, which help reduces the occasional stutters in my current setup described in Post 131.
1) Under the Display Device section, use Anisotropic=1 rather than TriLinear=1, even though the Anisotropic Filtering is hardware controlled via the Catalyst Control Center. Don’t ask me why. It just performs better.
[DISPLAY.Device.AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series.0]
Mode=2560x1600x16
Anisotropic=1
2) Mentioned in Post 27 that increasing the value of TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT under [Display] section could render a smoother display quality. The result is more obvious from my current HD 6970 card than the retired HD 5870. Three of my flying regions have been raised to 800 from 400. Values higher than 800, however, cause negative impacts.
[Display]
TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=800
Remaining regions are being tested, and will report the results later.

Yes I did, no difference, bur equally no detriment, so I’ll leave mine at 32. Good tips elsewhere on your site. Like it!

Thank you. Yes, as long as it doesn’t affect performance we should always set the best settings.

I am wondering what, if anything is lost in 16 as opposed to 32.

16 is less demanding to system compared to 32. I don’t see much difference between the two. Try for yourself. It won’t hurt.

Why Mode=2560x1600x16 and not Mode=2560x1600x32?

Why not? It performs better on my system.

Hi Carlos,
I don’t have Citation X so I can’t tell what’s wrong with your installation from the information you provide.
However, you could try install a second version of it onto another drive or directory and then compare the difference between the new one and your current one.
See my post 57: Saftest Approach to Install Addons for some guidelines on how to do that.
Also, the WinMerge.exe program mentioned in Post 47 is a great tool to compare the difference.
Finally, you could directly contact Eaglesoft for help to solve your problem.
Tom
