Hey up - see my comments a few posts up. I get the same problem - I can fly about / run around and everything is fine - but zoom in through a scope and everything runs at half-speed - I'm on an ATI card as well.

Thanks fella. The beta seems to have made a bit of a difference; now I'm only seeing under 20fps when I scope look at really complicated views (multiple building and trees, or a huge clump of trees from up high). For what its worth, I looked at GPU/CPU utilisation and the bottleneck is certainly on the GPU. I still don't really understand how I can fly through Cherno and not have an issue, but then have the computer start to splutter when 20 trees get drawn at close range, but at least this is gonna be playable in all but 95% of situations.

No, that's not what I'm asking. I can fly a helicopter high above Cherno - so it's drawing hundreds of buildings and thousands of trees - and I get ~25 fps. I go on the ground and run around the tree line looking freely - I get ~25 fps. I go on the ground, take out a sniper rifle, scope and look at a big forest, and suddenly I'm down at ~10 fps. Why are the zoomed in trees causing so much of an issue? Does anyone else have this problem? I turn everything down to low or off; textures, no ATOC, objects etc.

Hey all - anyone mind checking something over with me? I'm running: i5 480M Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (Catalyst 12.8 - could this be an issue?) 6gb RAM I realise with that GPU I'm gonna be running everything on low (although I'd like to be able to squeeze out 1920x1080 res). Settings: *Everything* that could be on very low or off is set to that. View distance ~1500m Res: 1920x1080 VRAM is set to default So here's the thing using those low settings (and in fact I can turn a few up) - I can fly a helicopter around Chernogorsk and comfortably manage ~25 fps. But - I stick a sniper out on a steep hill, and scope look at some trees and I'm seeing approx ~10 fps no matter what I try. It's always cos of the trees, and is massively affected by the scoping. This seems a bit weird to me - anyone got any thoughts? Cheers!
