With some Ati cards yes, it leaves GPU to 2D speeds.

I got it!!!!!


Despite the fact i deleted the intro the GPU is staying at 501 MHZ!

Must be a powerplay issue! Maybe i can resolve it with a profile!


Ok fixed it but not better performance! Afterburner was showing wrong numbers!

This engine was not developed for resolutions higher than 1920x1080. Let's hope a patch can help or we have to wait till 2013-2015 videocards for extreme (higher than fullHD) res. Nothing comes for free. Resolution neither.

Clouds, weather and landscape improvements in BoM will put new hardware to its knees again on extreme resolutions. The devs optimise for mainstream resolution only because further optimisation for extreme resolutions is too costly in terms of resources used and image quality hit.

Solution is to use mainstream resolution or buy a new top video card every 6 - 12 months if you are rich. Sims are more demanding than any shooters due to high visibility distances and modelling detail.

I think you have a problem with processor speed.
You should try to overclock it to 3.5 GHz at least, but only with aftermarket
cooler if you have one, because thubans are hot.
Also, you should check how many phases your mobo have on VRM ( voltage regulation ).

Tvrdi.. I know the fact that a better video card and correctly configured PC goes against everything you and the rest of the nay-sayers would have people belive.. That being that CoD does not work for anyone.. But the fact remains that there are plenty of posts in this forum of people who are having no problems with the FPS or CTD.. And in light of your response of 'shhh' to counter that fact only highlights it

Now your getting it!! So it appears that you actually do agree with me! Better late than never! S!

Now you getting it!! So you do understand why 1C is taking the time to optimize the code! This is a big step forward for you Tvrdi! You have come a long way in just two posts! Keep up the good work!

So your baseline is RoF?

That explains a lot about your current and past statements!!

Allow me to explain why your comparsion is in error

1) Apparently you are un-aware of the fact that RoF is a DX9 program.. And that the DX9 API has been around for some time now, which means there are a lot of experienced DX9 programers to choose from and thus easier to program the game. Where as CoD is a DX10 program that uses the DX11 API.. The DX11 API is new, and very different from previous DX APIs, thus the DX11 API is not as well understood as DX9, mater of fact Microsoft is still working out some of the bugs in it, which all means there are less experienced DX11 programers to choose from and thus harder to programer the game.

2) Apparently you are un-aware and or don't remember what RoF was like when it first came out.. RoF like CoD was not a bugless sim when it was released back in 2009.. It took Neoqb years to get RoF into the state it is today.. And during that time Neoqb gout bought out by 777 studios! So, imho it is disingenuous of you to compare CoD which has been out for less than a year to a game that has been out for nearly 3 years. And try to remember that RoF has a near constant cash flow due to charging for add ones!! Where as CoD does not! Currently the only CoD can generate more development money is to produce a sequel/addon or find someone willing to invest in the product. Which explains why CoD is allready working on a sequal

So now that you are up to speed on RoF I hope you can understand why RoF works so well on lower end systems.. i.e. RoF has had more time and more money to optimize the code and RoF is still a DX9 game thus unless they upgrade to the DX11 API you will never see the DX11 features in RoF that we are soon to see in CoD.. Now 1C could have done the same as Neoqb.. It would have been easier to do.. But as we are now seeing.. 1C has had a much bigger vision for this game engine than Neoqb had for RoF

To much people comes from play IL-2 1946 in a laptop and cry rivers because can run CLOD well when is know that maxed setting is for futures hardware profiles.
+1 Exactally!
