Train Simulator 2013 (aka Railworks 4)

Yesterday when I started Steam I discovered that my Train Simulator 2012 (Railworks 3) was updated to Train Simulator 2013 (Railworks 4) for free. ^^ Really nice from devs of this game. What is more important, it seems that "TSX engine" is much better optimized - now I have about from 50% up to 130% more fps with the same settings*. Also, there is no more launcher, everything is composed into game. Main menu is having better (in my opinion) user interface, for example after starting game I was able to see what DLC's I have bought so far (I dunno where I was able to check it in TS2012, I haven't played to much this game). Of course all DLCs and scenarios from Train Simulator 2012 are working in 2013 version.
 * TSX on, most settings set on medium level, 1280x720, track: from Donner Pass, I don't remember exactly which one.
TS2012 - 5-15 fps
TS2013 - 20 - 35 fps
Both results from Radeon 7770, AMD Phenom 9550 (2,2GHz X4), 6GB DDR2 800MHz


At the end my next video (to be honest I've done this "2 (4) wheel driving" accidentally discovering with what speed I can enter this turn withour rolling). Enjoy! :D

More PLM map videos and new GPU info

Here are next videos from PLM map mod to German Truck Simulator.
This time Konin to Wieluń route.


Also, my Radeon 3870 broke down about 11 days ago. Probably one of video memory chips began to "lost" data and I was having intresting black stripes and other shapes on screen (even in BIOS).
I decided to order Radeon 7770 from XFX in Double Dissipation edition. It has 1GB GDDR5 memory with 128bit bandwith clocked at 1125MHz (4500MHz). GPU clock is standard 1000GHz. Also, double fan seems to give good OC potential. So far I'm satisfied with it performance, but probably my old Phenom 9550 (2,2GHz per core) is lowering GPU performance. ;)
