hi,
long time lurker, 1st time poster.
i bought CLOD at release fully aware of its issues. i pretty much avoided it for the 1st few months but once some of the latest beta patches were released i started testing it out only to eventually give up due to really low performance.
fast forward to this week when i decided to upgrade my system.
heres my spec
Samsung SpinPoint 500GB 7200RPM S300 16MB
INTEL CORE I7 2600K 3.4Ghz
GIGABYTE GA-Z68AP-D3 MOBO
Corsair Vengeance 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz
GTZ 260 896GB Video card
creative xfi extreme sound card
the old system had a core to duo running at 2.6ghz and 4GB of 1066mhz ram.
i fully expected to be able to run CLOD on at least medium settings without to much issues.
it seems not.
ive been running the quick cross country mission as a test bed as it ony has one plane sitting on a runway.
on medium settings at 1920x1080 im gettin barely 20 fps and when i lower the red to 1600x900 it rises to barely 25 fps which imo is pretty shocking considering there aint that much going on with the mission im trying to run.
basically im getting roughly the same performance i was getting before which is giving me the horrible feeling that ive just wasted £400.
sorry to make another one of these threads but i just need to get it of my chest.
should i be getting better performance with the system i have?
