Let's make it clear: a lot of peole still talking that CloD are "unplayable" even in high end rigs.
Well, I believe that CloD runs OK in my middle range hardware. And the only way negative people can believe in that is showing some records of standard tracks.
I use the method of record all standard tracks in their first run, after loading CloD, with FRAPS in 30 FPS recording mode, with my hardware/OS specs and video settings used, and relevant notes about how the sim behaves when FRAPS isn't recording (in last patch we have a lot of performance drop when FRAPS is recording).
If people can do the same, we'll have really some intersting objective AND subjective benchmark to do some comparsions and choices.
I put some brazilian songs that I like in the video, because more than 10 minutes video with only the bugged soundtrack of tracks recorded in CloD will be anoying...

My impressions: perfectly playable, with solid +40 FPS in normal gameplay. With textures lowered to "HIGH", the old stutters almost gone. With textures up to "ORIGINAL", some minor stutters still... One think I need to tell is that the new "The Black Death" track in CloD runs with less stutters (streaming) in my new rig with the 560 Ti than the old "The Black Death" track in IL-2 1946, with the old HD 4850. I think that it is really remarkable as proof of performance increase with new patches.
Please post more benchmarks and impressions!
