Default Results from Upgrading PC from Q6600 to i7 2500K and no change to GPU

Custom Mission Over channel with German 22 Bombers (J87 & 88’s and 8 Fighter cover. British 4 Hurricanes and 2 Spits. (7am)


Old PC Specs

Win7 64bit ultimate
42’ LCD @ 1920x1080
Q6600 OC @ 4GHZ
8 gig corsair ddr2 800 Ram
EVGA i780 MB
EVGA 2x 285GTX Sli
(Sli switched off when running COD)
128G SSD


FPS = over water (forget land till patch) FPS= over water (forget land till patch)
18-25 slight Stutter over water but lots better now. 45 – 80 FPS over water
Graphic settings in game Very high
Turn off ground detail,
Minimum buildings and building detail
AAx8 (but seems to have no effect seen in game)
**************New PC Specs **********
Win7 64bit ultimate
42’ LCD @ 1920x1080
i7 2600k not oc
16 Gig Ripjaw 1600 Ram
Asus P8P67 Evo –B3
EVGA 285 GTX (still not in sli) (deciding what to upgrade to… waiting for patch)
128G SSD


FPS= 45 – 80 over water (forget land till patch). But can have 30 bombers and fighters and no frame rate dip below 35 fps. Max = 80 Min = 35 Avg 45fps
Graphic settings in game Very high ground detail medium,
low buildings and low building detail all others very high.
AAx8 (but seems to have no effect seen in game)

The AA is a sticking point for me. The wire stretching from canopy to tail looks awful in the pics. But I have noticed quality pics from people with hd6970 and 580gtx cards.
This could be an issue with gtx 285 cards as they are only dx10 and maybe the dx11 cards show more detail in game?? Anyone know.

FYI I play arma 2 also and without upgrading the graphics card yet.. I can now play Arma on max detail and get70+ fps even in large battles. I7 2500k ROCKS!

So anyway, can anyone confirm if dx11 cards show in your config as Render=dx10_0 or is it showing Render=dx11_0 or something.

I just feel when playing, while it is smooth flying now, that not all the graphics are working correct in my game and maybe even running at 16bit or something and not high res graphics… Even when I do go into the graphics screen and set all to Very high it does not reflect that in game.

I will post some images tonight when I am home to show what I mean.

If you have a good rig and a dx11 vid card. Could you post your Conf.ini and confs.ini and userconf.ini settings in here. If you want to upload the file. Just change the .ini to .txt

That's good news. If we can run COD right now with that CPU in a year we all be able to max it out.

I hope the improve performance that right now it seems the top priority.

Maybe sooner. This thread indicates that serious performance gains may be possible sooner:

"7. Overall graphics optimization - selection of rendering into a single thread - a dramatic increase of FPS (roughly doubled). This work will take at least a month."

yes i have the new i7 core i guess it is 2600k not 2500k lol

I should add that the cpu usage on the i7 2600K is about 50% of one thread (1/2 a core) and the rest is about 2-5% spread across the other cores and threads.

Remember this is with buildings down low and land. So cpu usage will go up. But the i7 2600k has massive room to take on more loading.
