1.14 Patch. Terrible performance drop on 8800GTX

[laggy 0]

Hi all.

Intel core duo (2*3ghz)

3 gb ram

Nvidia 8800 GTX (768MB)

Windows Vista 32

Patch 1.09Beta and everything before that ran excellent. Except for occasional crashes (probably the virtual adress problem) I could pretty much put as many units as I wanted on the map (20 groups including 4 helicopters in Corazol) with highest settings on everything and have a viewdistance of 3000m. No lag or stutter what so ever.

With patch 1.14 i experience a terrible performance drop. Some of my old missions are now unplayable and even smaller missions lag and stutter.

I tried updating to latest Nvidia drivers (175.16) but that didn't help either.

Does anybody have any ideas or similar problems?

I was having big issues before with 1.12 beta but than updated video driver and got SP1 for vista and now with 1.14 it runs like butter.

Thx for the tip BigRed.

Do you have Nvidia driver 175.16 installed?

Thanks alot BigRed.

Vista Service Pack 1 seems to have done the trick. Everything now seems to be back to "normal". Much obliged to your tip in this damn PC updating jungle.

Cheers

On new Microsoft OS´s, the first SP is a must have asap.

If any game would run that great under Vista Home Premium than ArmA, i would not need Win2K Prof. any longer.

I have to admit SP1 in vista made it so much smoother that I now only play in Vista (where i used to use my dual boot xp install only as it ran better).

I have to agree with mrcash, i have Vista Home Premium SP1 x64 and it runs just as good, if not better than my XP Pro x64 on dual boot. And i hate Vista, but i'm slowly coming round to it.  

Running 175.16 on Vista x64 and 169.21 on XP x64 as the 175.16 on XP x64 gave me some trippy display issues. I thought my card was overheating....Asus 8800GTX. Works a charm after rolling back to 169.21 on XP x64.

I am currently testing 175.70 and they seem to very stable for ArmA so far I played a 5 hour CTI with no problems.

Well well well! I must admit I had given up on this game, but this 1.14 patch changed everything for me! Running Vista x64 SP1 w/ 4Gb of RAM now makes the game soooo smooth I can't believe it yet. My specs are in my sig, Config 1, using a 8800GTX and the game has never run better. It's like I just got myself a brand new pc!

Kudos to BIS for this long awaited patch!
