I was thinking the same thing. In two to three months people will have a much clearer picture of what sort of system to aim for.

Runs very well for me since I swapped out the motherboard and processor for what I have now (see my sig)

I'm getting 40 - 50 fps over land (average that is)
60 - 70 fps over sea (again that's average)

Had a six on six dogfight last night over the sea..it was pegged on 90fps for most of the session.

I run at a modest 1280x720 to suit my projector tho'

I also auto tuned the Phenom and it's reporting 3.7Ghz

Thank you, Lensman, that's just the kind of data I'm after!

20-30 fps over london med alt på max... blir nok bedre med fremtidige patcher

Apart from the graphich card, of witch i cant get for at least 2weeks, i now have the same spec as you, just set it up today, but i have to use a couple of nvidia geforce 9600 gso's :grin:
nearly there though :)

No problem...I should have added:

All video settings on 'High'. Grass, Forest and Roads all on.

Do noty forget...
 

Do not forget one aspect the price, there for I do always say to a customer, take the newest one and then take one step bask. never take the last bigest and most expensive.:grin:

That's my philosophy too. When you move towards the newer and newer equipment, you get to a point where where you start paying for novelty rather than performance. The trick is to hit the point where you get the best performance you can get without having to pay extra for it being new and hot.

This is the whole thing i just dont get about this game at the mo...

60-70fps average :eek:

i get 20-30fps over water! & 15-20fps over Land

my reolsolution however is 1920x1200..

Model Detail HIGH
Visual effects HIGH
Dmg decals HIGH
Buildings detail MED
land detail LOW
Forest OFF
building amount LOW
land shading MED
grass ON
shadows ON
roads ON

Now my spec compared to yours

PhenomX6 1055t O/C to 3.5 >>>>AMD PHENOM II X6 1090T 3.2GHZ 9MB Cache Black Edition
4 gig crucial Ram >>>>Corsair XMS3 8GB (4x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz
ATI 5770 slightly overclocked 1G GPU >>>>NVIDEA GeForce GTX470
Gigabyte Mbo USB 7.1 >>>>ASUS-M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3
Win7 32 bit >>>>OCZ 120GB SSD. Windows 7 64bit

So apart from a slightly better CPU which this game doesnt use atm and more RAM again isnt used much and having 64bit os instead of my 32bit there isnt alot in it yet your getting nearly 2.5/3 times the amount of FPS increase..

i just wished we could pinpoint where the problem lies with performance, theres so much of a different variety and contrast

Hi
90 to 100fps over water
60 to 80 f0ps over land
40 to 60 fps over citys
all settings in RoF as high as they can go
Nvidia contol panel not touched
The game runs silky smooth for me
Now heres the big one. This is a GAMING computer hence no CRAP installed.No other software installed other than what is required to run games.
I have another cheap and you can pick them up cheap computer for doing daily tasks
