No, you fake a higher resolution to get more use of the GPU instead of the CPU. i set the resolution to 7680 4320 144 " (8k) instead of 0 0 0 in the "dispaly size.txt" and it still works at any monitor. Try it out, its simple and quick.

Hi I read a guide on Steam from a player named "randomhan" for improving your FPS in Combat Mission BS, i think it works for any of the CM games. It worked for me in BS and SF2, now i can run big maps with nice FPS and few FPS spikes/dips. I use following settings. value in "dispaly size.txt" - 4096 2160 144 3D Model quality - Improved Texture quality - Best I did copy the guide from steam Guides and all creds to "randomhan" -----BEFORE YOU TRY THIS OUT------ This only applies to you if you have horsepower to spare in your GPU --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- basically this games can only utilize 32bit ram & like one or two cores of CPU. Its prehistoric. However....VRAM? & GPU no limits. BUT, they put a limiter on this in order to protect your PC from blowing up. So naturally, the game 'thinks' your beefy monstrosity NASA Spec PC (in like 04 standards) just can't handle the intense operation of allocating 4-5GB of graphics RAM To cut to the case, before trying this out - vsync: off - 3D model quality: fast -> uses CPU - 3D model texture: Best -> VRAM is not the bottle neck - Shaders : OFF -> uses CPU, if you miss the shaders just use Reshade. -VERY IMPORTANT!: turn off in-game shadows / shaders with: ALT + W . the game engine can't handle shadow rendering. -> seems to use CPU for shadows. now for the fun part: (1) find or make a "dispaly size.txt" file in your steam\steamapps\common\Combat Mission Black Sea folder (2) open it, put in some crazy value like: " 7680 4320 144 " (8k) or " 4096 2160 144 "(4k) - 3 numerical value separated by space bar : horizontal screen resolution (space) vertical screen resolution (space) refresh rate (4) if your graphics card can run modern AAA titles just go nuts with 7680 4320 60 - NEVER-EVER lower your screen resolution b/c the UI shrinking. It's counter- intuitive but you gotta increase the resolution! (5) by some black wizardry, the game is forced to load all the textures, and doesn't ♥♥♥♥♥ out on allocating more v-ram (6) ??? (7) = more FPS/ Much better graphics My computer with Ryzen 7 5800X, 32GB RAM, Radeon TX 6700XT was running like 15-30 FPS before. Choppy as Hell. with this optimization? While running in 8K(!) now the FPS never goes below 45. with like 30 visual enhancement mods. won't lie: Stil a bit of stuttering exists while in pre-deployment phase and zooming through the battlefield. BUT consider this: amazing 8K graphics compared to Un-optimized settings + much better FPS one drawback: it takes like 10min to start a battle. but hey ho, willing to make a sacrifice. Hope this helps!
