iT SHOUYLDNT TAKE A 3GIG CARD TO RUN THIS THOUGH.

Glad to hear of the improvements Kankkis! Now, which kidney should I sell....

S!

Which drivers do you use Kankkis? The 12.2 Pre-Certified?

Yes, game is absolutely smooth now and that SMAA thing make it very pretty, now i just love to fly this because none stutter, fps all the time at steady 60fps with vsync, all maxed. When all maxed little slowdown over london and rooftops. No slowdown in London without shadowd, they are huge hit in london.

Secondly i overclocked my 7970 allmost max, it really easy and no risk, very good guide link below.

It normaly wouldn't, if the devs were allowed to finish the sim before it was released you would have had a finished optimized sim at some point. Unfortunately that didn't happen, now we've paid to be beta testers, instead of waiting another six months to a year for the finished release. Which most of probably would have signed up to beta test anyway given the alternative of waiting and doing nothing.

Actually this is exactly what Oleg promised - it will take hardware which is not available at the time of release.
Sys.req. on the box were a lie though.;)

no shhh...
Badly optimised software needs cutting edge hardware to work decently. That is when the effects are not near (in CLODs case). Properly optimised software willl work well, even on "mid range rigs". I have an ace-like question for you: "Do you think ROF is not a cutting edge software (whatever that means)? Because it works damn good even on low-mid rigs....

didnt need at release too...it was (in most part) pretty well optimised just from the start....kudos to Oleg`s team

Anyway, if you guys are waiting to play this game maxed in a 3 years old card let me say that it will not happen even if you hired John Carmack to scribe the game in machine language (that is in ones and zeros if you don't know it)

To much people comes from play IL-2 1946 in a laptop and cry rivers because can run CLOD well when is know that maxed setting is for futures hardware profiles.

Well ... congrats for your card, you makes me so envious :) , I'm waiting for this card as well but its just freaking expensive for me now :-| , looking for price drops ...

Dude, look at my rig and tell me; should I play this sim without massive slowdowns? I have em....and I optimised my rig and OS "to the bones"....enough said.
BTW; Im playin all other very HW demanding games on max on 1920x1200.....

My post was not aimed you and some others in this thread and I know that you are not looking for a answer but looking at your rig I can certainty say that :

Try play CLOD maxed out at 1920x1200 without FPS drops (that is constants 60fps) in a GTX470 is pretty much impossible, and if you try add FSAA then that turns surrealist.
