It was the "8GB required" that puzzeled me. 4x2 on a P67 is a perfect combo.

im running hte game mac graphics with a well below specs than the provided.
out of my quad core 2.5 and my 3gb ddr2, only 35% of CPU is used and1 gig of memory is being used. still plenty of space for cod to get better.

Those where the details I didn't look at. :-(
Maybe O/C then!?

I'm running maxed out except SSAO is off at 2560 x 1600 and while the FPS dips into high to mid 20s on occasion even then the feel is still fluid enough for the game to remain perfectly playable. At 1920 x 1200 it's far smoother of course, just needs decent FSAA (forcing it via the NV CP does nothing, even with the latest full-screen patch, and the game's own x8 is lacking effect).

I did that when it 1st come out lol (had to be done) :D could only overclock the cpu from a 3.0 to a 3.24 (216 fsb x 15 multi) before it became unstable or no boot, and didnt really make a difference, which was a shame. Also chucked the voltage up on the card to see, but made no difference either. NM, im lookin forward to a new build :D This ones lasted a good few years, the next one will last for ages i should say :)

Made some edits to reflect feedback.

Good points Buzz and good feedback as well. Aside from the London area which renders painfully slow at 10-20FPS the other areas of the Map are excellent at well over 50FPS. Large dog fights over 50 AC render beautifully and smooth as silk. Once the ground rendering of buildings, homes and city scapes are thoroughly massaged for performance; this is an out of the park home run hit for 1C. I fell in love last night!

Oh a must have for CH Products users is the new MAP that Revvin has uploaded for CoD at the CH Hangar.

Everything maxed out, 1920 by 1080.

AMD Phenom II 955 BE
Nvidia 580 GTX
8 gigs of RAM
Win 7 Pro 64

It runs fine as a server (not dedicated) with 22 live pilots on my lap top. It kicks ass on my seven year old game machine.

Performance has never been the real problem. Clod doesn't stress my system as much as Oblivion.

Bugs, interface and a lack of content are the problem.

Some of you need to learn more about Windows and less about hardware.

If you are speaking of DX11, please note, that you can also install DX11 on Windows Vista. So I would at least say Vista and Win7. Especially at the moment, while there are even little DX10-features included.

(Besides that, Windows 7 is just a makeover of Vista and using 98% the same files. Hence you can use DX11 with no problems and you can also use the same drivers unless the installation routine checks for the version explicitly.)

This is what I'm flying CoD with:

Intel core Duo E8600 @ 3.33GHz
Ram 4GB
550 watt power supply
Video card GTX 470 1280 MB GDDR5 set at Quality
MOBO- Gigabyte GA-EP45_UD3P
Duel partition
Windows XP Pro 32bit.
Windows 7 64 bit.
CoD in W-7 64 bit

After the last Beta I have everything set on High But Texture Quality= Original
AA 8X
Everything is on.
1680x1050 60Hz

Getting good FPS and smooth.

To say you need a high end PC to fly this sim is not right.

Now if you have the $ then yes, I would get a 4 core CPU but you do not have to have that for this sim.

I use Fraps and a freetrack and still looks and flys very good. I will have Track IR 5 up and running in the next day or so. and it will probably use less of the CPU then the freetrack.

Like I said if you want to upgrade to a PC that is not needed for this sim do that.
But you do not have to to fly this sim.
