Thanks a lot for this detailed info. Ill try that when i get home.

I dont get it... Biggest resolution offered when switching to windowed mode is 1024x768 i am running native 2560x1600 desktopresolution.
When i do that and pull the window bigger it just stretches the 1024x768 pixels. And SLI also doesnt seem to run proper.

OMG these are huge pictures took a long time for page to load hehe

Hmmmm,

You mean you have a big desktop screen (2560x1600), the CoD window is only a small part of your screen (1024x768) but you can not resize the CoD window? (neither make it smaller, nor bigger)
Can you at least move the CoD window around your screen (by dragging it from the top line, just like any normal window)?

That is strange, it works fine for me.

yes i run that resoliution on a 30" screen. I can move and resize the window but the resolution of the game doesnt become bigger. It just reamins 1024x768 and the pixels just look bigger if i resize the window.

Awesome!
Never heard of this but is good because it will give me a clue about the Conf.ini settings of CoD.

Please go to your directory (I hope Win7-64) C:\Users\User\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

Make a backup copy of your conf.ini file
Open your conf.ini file with the text editor

Post here your [Window] parameters (so that I can keep a copy of it)
The [Window) is on the top of the file, just after the EpilepsyFilter line.

Then look at my lines posted below and put exactly the same as I have, save conf.ini and run the game again, fly and try to resize the window again:

[window]
DepthBits =24
StencilBits=8
DrawIfNotFocused=1
Render=D3D10_0
ColourBits=32
FullScreen=0
ChangeScreenRes=0
Use3Renders=1 <= THIS YOU DO NOT NEED TO PUT IN YOUR CONF.INI
; Use 3 Monitors on a Matrox Parhelia - This does "widen" your view
; (put 1=for 3Renders)
SaveAspect=0
; Preserve a 4:3 view aspect (0 for widescreen put 1=for 3Renders)
; saveaspect=1 keeps a 4:3 setup of screen
posLeft=348 <= THIS LEAVE IT AS IN YOUR CONF.INI
posTop=0 <= THIS LEAVE IT AS IN YOUR CONF.INI
Frequency=60
width=3072 <= THIS LEAVE IT AS IN YOUR CONF.INI
height=945 <= THIS LEAVE IT AS IN YOUR CONF.INI



Good luck!

I managed to get it running now in a better resolution and the onscreen display also shows SLI would run. But there is no gain in FPS. No matter what renderingmode i choose (AFR, AFR2, SFR, AFR fallback).
I get better performance when deactivating SLI in windows and run on 1 GPU only. Guess i just have to wait until the lazy bastard$ from Nvidia got to make a profile for the game.

Thanks again for your help!

Well you could try using MSI afterburner. It has an on screen display overlay with all the information you need... Temps, GPU utilization, memory usage etc etc. Then you could run full screen res.

Good post on SLI
How do you modify inf file btw? Is it important to do this?

Yes. If you do not add the hardware information to the Nvidia.inf file, the driver will not install. Here's a link to Guru3D with a link to the driver and the modified nvidia.inf file.

Essentially after you extract the driver normally, you replace the nv_disp.inf file. Which is usually located at C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\275.65\WinVista_Win7_64\In ternational\Display.Driver. Just copy and paste. If you have any questions just ask there. A lot of helpful folks. BTW a correction to the above. AFR 2 was giving some flickering in the water textures. AFR 1 still gave decent SLI scaling without the flickering.
Nvidia needs to come out with a proper SLI profile. Hopefully the 280.xx coming out next week or so.
