nvidia 295GTX owner: what to expect?
 

yo

i have an nvidia 295GTX with the latest 280.26 running on win7 64bit with i5 and 8gb of ram. I have il2cod with the latest patch (steam) . So far, i have tried all possible tricks and settings and im still having a barely acceptable fps. (15-23fps) im running il2cod all set to medium at 1920x1200 60hz with antialiasing 1x ; vsync and ssao ON. I just don't understand how other people are managing to get higher / acceptable fps with lesser hardware specs than me? or is the what i'm getting with the 295gtx is all what can be expected?

Turn ssao off.

I'm sure you no SLI don't work and unless you created a custom SLI profile your only using half of that GTX295

If you want SLI, do as per http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=23199

Your 295GTX is not a very good card for DX10 so this is your bottleneck. It also has 900Mb VRAM per GPU and this is also a limitation for this game (CoD needs >2Gb VRAM to run well).

You did not mention whether you are running WinXP or Win7-64bit, from the amount of RAM you have I presume you have the second (Win7-64bit). That is good because otherwise your operating system would also be the bottleneck.

thats what i thought, ive already tried many different things.. like setting multi gpu on/off and various tricks/conf.ini changes i have found in this forum etc the general playability is still lame, and in some situations like airt to ground attacks it just makes it barely playable...

the 295GTX is a shitcard , not only its performance is poor but it also makes a lot of turbine/fan noise.. seems that i wouldn't be able to get any better performance out of it that what i currently have in il2cod

i will be getting the N580GTX with 3gb of vram
