Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

Graphic settings virtual texture cuda acceleration greyed out
So, after the game was unpacked and I started the game I was quite shocked how many new settings there are, for example why is the setting virtual texture cuda acceleration greyed out and I can't use it? And why is the SSR, screen space reflection setting still such a massive power hog?
Other than that I love that you added the fov changer right from the start and I like the antialiasing options too, the game looks crisp and it's just beautiful.

Do you use a card from Nvidia?

Yes of course I have two gtx 970 in SLI.

You can only turn it on when VT Compress is on for some reason.

Nope Turn on vt compress and the option is still greyed out, I googled that setting and it's like a 4 year old stuff, I have no idea why machine games decided to put it in the graphics options menu.

Try disabling SLI and see if it works.

Try completely deleting your GPU drivers and reinstalling them.

Just did, this morning before the game was unlocked on steam, did the full reinstall of graphic drivers, deleted them and all the registry entries even with ddu, the display driver uninstaller....I guess it didn't help one bit...

Cuda being on makes the performance worse and even can crash the game.. so just leave it off.

Then I have no clue since I haven't bought the game myself yet. Still have to finish TNO :)

really? I thought it would help with the performance, since I read on nvidia site it does reduce the time the textures are loaded on screen or something.

Don't know if you guys have been in contact with earlier idTech 5 engine powered games, so I figured you might find help, perhaps it will let you make use of Cuda if you do what the op describes. It's a known thing, since RAGE (first idTech 5 game) that the game did not automatically create necessary texture cache files upon running it a first time, and in this thread:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/350080/discussions/0/620712364043746268/ he guides you on how to do this for Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.
I'm sure it'll come in handy for me once again in (hopefully not so distant) future, as it did for me in RAGE, few years back. For now, I can't play The New Order at all.
Radeon HD 5750 1GB was my first AMD card, since at the time there were no nVidia DX11 capable ones..until I went and bought AMD, nVidia decided to release some :/ Wish to get back to nVidia soon. Hope the actual helpful parts of this post do help :be_crazy:

Doesn't mean anything, read the thread please.
