The new patch will cost Nvidia and AMD sales :)
Hi!
After the patch today the performance has bumped again for me and the performace now is really as good as I think my rig deserves! With these settings: http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/361...postpatch2.jpg I get 30+ fps most times, look at the video below taken a few minutes ago (look at the avg fps and max, and that is the bomber intercept over London quick mission that was COMPLETELY unplayable with the release version). A rather fun show of the damage modelling too! Tried to go below the He111 but felt something touched and felt that "something is seriously broken!". Look at the fin, amazing DM! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqp5IMf0KGs The problem with this is that the GTX580 I was about to order at the end of this month feels overkill ;) My rig: Core 2 Duo E8400@3.3 GTX275 6GB DDR2 Windows 7 x64 |
Good to hear man, I am getting the same kind of gains from the latest patch. Can only get better from here, and here is a decent place to be. :)

Another good post. We need them to overcome some of the negativity on these forums. You could almost be forgiven for thinking there are "competitors" lurking on these boards, spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty,doubt).
|
The problem at the moment for me is low fps, I hope this is sorted in the next patch like we expect.
But what is starting to spread doubt in my mind atm is that when i disable my cpu overclock the game runs like it did in day 1!!! |

I think it's going to have exactly the opposite effect.
With the new patch the improvements in frame rate and quality have show it's worth going through upgrade process. I've actually been holding off any major upgrades untill I could see that it was going to have an effect. Unfortunately I haven't been able to play any missions, (getting redy to go to work as I type) but I did get to run through the Black Death track. I'm not sure about top framerates but on my rig it plays smoother than the Black Death track in '46 And the detail! WoW! the gound level explosion are awsome! Damage decals! How about the rounds getting removed from the bofors gun magazine is it fires! There is still away to go (levitating wingless Hurricanes and that annoying clipping when the camera gets too close to the Beaufort and you can see inside the wing - one of my big gripes with ROF) but I'm definately in for the ride! Did I say this patch is Great! Cheers! |
About the negativity, you need to remember that as initially released this was a mess... but in 2 weeks it has made massive strides. I think that at this point most people are in good shape in terms of being able to play.. But some people are not.. Some of them has old systems and don't seem to have any idea of what this type of game demands..others have need systems and it still won't work while it works great for people with the same gear.. thats really frustrating...
The biggest thing to remember is that people that are not having any show stopper problems are not likely to post here..you hear repeatedly from the people having issues.not the people spending their time playing the game :) |
120hz?
Your screen shot shows your rez using 120hz? I have looked through my settings and only see options for 60hz, are you setting something in the config file to get that working ?

The card you want is an ATI 6950, which has 2 Gigs of video memory, can be overclocked easily to nearly 6970 specs, and which costs about $250. This is the optimum price/performance card for CoD. |

So, the main reason for buying the 120Hz monitor was actually to get a more CRT like experience which I have really missed since the good ole days - and it has delivered in that aspect. Be sure! Just watching the mouse pointer while dragging it over the screen in 120Hz is a pure joy! |

Also make sure you have a decent Hard Drive, minimum 7200 rpm speed, with lots of space. Ideally two 7200rpm drives in RAID 0 config if your motherboard supports that. |

Oh and your resolution is 2 levels lower than mine so bonus there as well. |
Or buy a 580 now and enjoy the sim the way it was meant to be displayed and go SLI later when all the mod makers start making improvements...
I only say this because I just bought one.... The wife is pissed I dropped 5 bills on a "graphics card" (What does a graphics card do anyways???) :):) |
S!
I would still wait out a bit until we see how Luthier & Team get the code optimized. I am sure both nV and AMD are aware of this title and will make driver updates ;) Can't go wrong with either brand. |

S!
Have to say my best upgrade was installing a SSD drive. Made a difference over the old 7200rpm disc. |
