Default I'll just LOVE it NOW

Holy moses what difference was changing my 5970 to 7970, allmost same cards in performance in 3Dmark 2011 but i have zero stutter now, all max and it's really enjoyable sim.

1gig to 3gig i think make biggest improvement, and no crossfire anymore.

Wonderful SIM.

As many have been saying.. Alot of the CoD issues can be cured by simply upgrading the hardware!

That is to say, cutting edge software typically needs cutting edge hardware!

Put anotherway, a 10+ year old sim like IL-2 does not need cutting edge hardware

True...but even a healthy mid range system, can run this game with no serious problems.

A three gig card makes all the difference. In a year or two, I would imagine a 3 gig card would be more "standard issue" than today, and we will be enjoying this sim for a long time.

I just got the game today after waiting for a discount offer. I play on a 9800GT! Im surprised how well it runs on medium-low settings.

I thought the 7970 - 90 had very noisey fans once pushed to the max??

I happy with my Nvidias.

My last few cards have been Nvidia because they generally have run the original Il-2 and COD a little better than AMD gpus.

My current Asus Direct11 580 is so quiet I don't hear it, and with the Kuhler H20 Antec CPU cooler I don't hear my system at all. Of course it helps that I'm old and can't hear that well anymore. My wife thinks I'm deaf, but I don't bother mentioning I'm just ignoring her.

We've always had to have very highend systems to run Combat flight sims at max settings, and usually there were options for lower end systems to make the sim playable. Unfortunately COD was release unfinished and unoptimized. The next patch should make the sim playable on average systems with the appropriate options set.
