ATI 4890 with 1GB Ram, I updated to the 12.1 drivers and everything works pretty well.

Take it to 12.2

[vamperium]

It might already be at that, and I'll double check. I have Steam, so I just had it update the driver.

[ZeosPantera]

Have to check the Information tab in the Catalyst control panel. I installed 12.2 on my brothers PC twice and it was still 12.1

I had to use driver sweeper to completely wipe out the previous drivers and install.

and yes...,i still can't run this demo

Please attach eng.log and describe what happens.

GTX 570 here

[lookastdu]

Radeon 3870, 512MB/256bit + Phenom 9550 (NOT 955, it's older 9550, 2,2GHz X4) + 6GB DDR2 800MHz.
Catalyst 12.3.
Works pretty nice as the 4-year old PC...

Btw. I would like to know how I could improve number of fps in Outerra with changing terrain settings? Because during terrain generation fps is worst and when I drive I have rising and then falling fps and it repeats all the time...

[cameni]

Please upload your time.log from a driving session. But it's probably a problem with Radeon 3xxx performance in computation.

Here is time.log: http://www.gamefront.com/files/21494660/time.log

What else I have noticed: if I had laggy fps and game simulation is really slow and then I move camera to top view of the truck (it is Tatra truck? ) the physics simulation (but camera movement also) is going too fast. It looks like trying to catch up in rendering enough frames in second. So I had effect: speed like 20kmh, moving camera view, wow, speed like 60kmh!

I have seen similar "bug" in GTA4 (version 1.0.0.0) and DiRT game (I read on forums that in DiRT this bug appeared only on AMD CPUs). In GTA4 patch fixed it long time ago, I don't remember what about DiRT, but probably they have fixed it too.

But probably it's problem with my too slow GPU. Or maybe with not enough GPU memory. I had changed to 240p and it helped bit. Still this problem occured, but it wasn't so big as before.

Small btw. edit: is there any way I could check GPU memory usage while playing Outerra?

[cameni]

Are you getting these slowdowns when there are no buildings and vehicles?

[lookastdu]

I have done small tests, and yes, it doesn't depend from buildings/vehicles.

With settings: 240p, prefetch levels 17, max terrain level generated 21, tiles per frame 6, tree coef 0.14 it runs quite smoothly.
1440x900, off vert sync, FXAA on, shadows 1024x1024 with 4 samples, shadowmap kernel size 2, shadow distance 600.

But for example on default (480p, prefetch 12, max 22) the problem returns.
I'm not sure yet, but while driving the problem seems to be bigger, but while I'm in ufo mode flying (especially farther from ground) this problem is smaller.

I have a laptop with a GT 555m version A I think (has 96 cores vs 144) it has 1GB of very fast global memory as apposed to the slower memory in version B.  The game runs nicely I would say it caps at about 35-45ish fps.  Turning off shadows does nothing to improve performance for me.
