Default Omg!!!

Even though my system struggles with CLOD, i decided to push all graphics to max @ 1900x1200 res just to see what the game would actually look like. OMG!!! it was beautiful, shadows awesome, aircraft detail awesome, landscape detail very impressive, inside cockpit affects left me speechless.

Okay at these settings it stuttered, farted and was almost unplayable(except over water), but i can certainly see that once it's properley optimised it will be an absolutley bloody awesome sim. I plan on updating my gpu to either a 480GTX or a 570GTX today, just not sure if 1536MB ram on a 480 is better than the 1280MB on the 570 for this sim?

Good for you, there are plenty of threads for you to post your impressions or ask system spec questions in already...

Go for the 580GTX, its worth it believe me. The 480gtx = 570gtx in performance, the 570's vram is clocked alot higher which makes up for the discrepency, but like said its worth it to get a 580, if not then a 570 is better than a 480.
If I was you, I would go for 1 580 or two 560ti in sli.

Two 560 Ti 2 GB will kill a 580 GTX 1.5gb

The 560 Ti 2GB is a great alternative

Only when the sli is fixed

I'd go for the 570 myself.

I have a 480. It gets high ratings in all tests ive seen over the 570.

Buy it! Great performance in CoD!

Be careful and check the PSU you have, the 480GTX and to a lesser extent the 570GTX will consume a lot of power. Anything less than a 600w brand name PSU will struggle.

PSU is a Thermaltake Toughpower 1200 watt, have enough power to run 3 x 570's or 580's.

Lol well unless they use PCI express 3 I can replace the 580, or like said just wait for price drop. Nvidia's next card is about power (electric)/performance ratios since they are shrinking the 40nm die, so I dont know if there will be a big performance boost although the heat will be reduced which is good.
