Can't enable hardware tessellation


Recommended Posts

I have P3dv2 running. I have been playing around getting it running as smooth as possible, in which I have done a fairly good job considering my system is pretty cruddy.

 

Theres an option in the menu I cannot get enabled "hardware tessellation" its a tick box and says it requires a restart I cannot get this to enable! tried enabling then restarting obviously. but it won't stay ticked. I kinda of thought this was a major pro point of v2, is that it offloads more work to the GPU hardware. Will it not enable because my GPU is not good enough?

 

I know a lot of people are having to disable there's because of performance issues but I would like to at least try it out. My GPU is AMD HD 7770.

 

at the moment I have no addons installed at all. My main problem is, I spent two days tweaking my settings so now I get a lovely 30fps consistent when flying over Auckland NZ (NZAR/NZAA) with very conservative settings but Im happy with performance and the graphics. However with the exact same settings when I went to another airport, (LDDU - Croatia) I was running at 8fps.. quite a big difference. I thought the default sceneries would be somewhat at the same level for all countries, but seems thats not the case at all.

 

Either way, is there a setting I can change in the .cfg to enable hardware tess to at least give it a whirl?

Yes - search the .cfg for 'tesse' and you'll come across the setting. I can't remember what the actual name is in the .cfg and I don't have access to my home desktop at the moment but it's pretty obvious which entry it is, and its value is simply a 1 or a 0. However it may not force it to use tesselation if it thinks/detects that your hardware can't.

Is it possible there is a limit to using it due to having 1GB of VRAM?... just a guess.

 

The entry is..

TESSELLATION=1

 

In the cfg.
