QX9300 FX3700M Owner: Sorry if I wrote too much comment ...

... but one really needs to tell some details so that somebody else does know what to expect. Fact is, I have an uncommon system for gamers (Dell M6400 Notebook with qx9300 FX3700M 1Gb VRAM 4Gb RAM) where tuning is important and performance depends on scenario.

Other Intel qx9300 and NVIDIA FX 3700M owners: please take a look at the spreadsheet (again bumping the names so internet search engines take note) and share your tweaks ...

Idea of thread/benchmark site is ++

Thanks!

Good one, added my results. Bring on the next patch, should make a big difference.

The intent is to get a feel for which systems are running CloD well, and which aren't - nothing more than that.

Gotcha!:smile: Just don't know if I want to humiliate my system right now.:lol:

Submitted, but my GPU memory is 1GB, not 128mb, as reported on the site.

Guys Im doing some thorough benchmarking, testing various settings and impacts of things like GPU and CPU speed on a few tracks.

One thing Id love to investigate is the impact of the amount vram, as it seems to be huge, as neither CPU nor GPU frequency scaling seems to impact my FPS much, if at all.

Does anyone have a Core2 quad (ideally ~3 GHz, but I can match slightly higher or lower speeds as well) and ATI 4870 1GB?

If so (and only if so), you could help me greatly by benching this track:
http://www.mediafire.com/?b7kioohkbadc9dd

Download it, save it where it belongs, in my case its in:

C:\Users\[my username]\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\records

Use these exact same settings:

Code:

resolution: 1360x768 (*) and/or 1920x1080

anti aliasing: 4x for 1360x768 and 0x for 1920x1080

Epilepsy: Off

Model: high

building: low

land:low

forest:low

effects:high

damage decals:medium

buildings:low

land shading: low

grass: off

shadows:off

roads:off

* Please note, to enable 1360x768 you can edit conf.ini. Use the correct one, so this one:
C:\Users\youruser\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

Code:

[BOB]

EpilepsyFilter=0



[window]

  DepthBits  =24

  StencilBits=8

  DrawIfNotFocused=0

  SaveAspect=0

Render=D3D10_0

width=1360

height=768

ColourBits=32

FullScreen=1

ChangeScreenRes=1

Feel free to change fullscreen and changescreenres to 0 if your monitor doesnt support this res.

Set your videocard to run at 750 MHz core and 900 MHz videomemory (I think 1 GB models by default clock a bit higher. If yours would be lower, thats fine, I can match that).

Run fraps. Play the track. The moment to cockpit shows up, press P for pauze. Wait a few seconds for the FPS to stabilize. Unpauze, and start fraps benchmark. THen send me the 3 CSV files fraps generates in c:\fraps\benchmarks.

Big thanks!

Hi,
I have a hd4870 1gb, a core i7 920 @stock and 6gb of ram.
but i fail to get your bench track running, i copied in the records folder but it won't show up in the menu.
what am I doing wrong?

To play a a track, go to extra / tracks / select. You should get a filebrowser (takes a few seconds).

no joy, the benchx.trk is in the records folder, but when i press tracks/select nothing happens. the game neither crashes nor freezes. But there is also no filebrowser coming up.
:S

If you record a track yourself, can you play that back?
Do you have the steam version?

yes I do have the steam version.
there somewhere must be the problem,
i can not record a track myself!
just tried to do so in a the free channel quick mission, but when I press start recording "single mission" greys out and I can't do anything. when i click, i hear that typical windows 7 error sound.
could it be admin permissions or something? is that a known bug with steam?
sorry for my english btw i'm german.
