IL-2 Cliffs of Dover Cliffs of Dover Optimization and Performance Thread

[broken pixel]

Thanks, my current set up plays BF3 Ultra settings smooth as butter everything maxed out. I'm a bit tired of BF3 and want to get back into flying combat sims as my current setup does not play well with them. It's probably because I'm running 3 GPUs? Plus I want some new hardware to overclock. I got the beta DCS P51 & only get 35 FPS, granted its beta. But I figure a single card for the time being will be easier to manage. I'm also thinking of getting the Asus Rampage extreme IV & i7- 3930k for future proofing. If I end up selling most of my main hardware it's not going to cost much to get new hardware to play with

Why not. If you sell your three GPU's and the rest of the system, you could probably go for a GTX680 4GB Variant. I am sure, that you most probably run into less difficulties and maybe, they get the SLI support fixed. Then you could still get another GTX680 4GB card, as soon as there is proper SLI support. All depends on your screen resolution. If its too big, you maybe should think about going directly for a SLI GTX680 4GB setup...

I cannot use the latest 301.42 Nvidia driver because it is halfed my FPS. The game is running on 25-35 fps on the ground and 50-60 fps at 3000m altitude on max settings with the previous 296.10 driver but I've got only 13-15 fps on the ground with the 301.42 . Have anybody problem with the 301.42 Nvidia driver ? As I know the 301.42 version include the new FXAA method. Is it working in the game now?

Yes driver injected FXAA works, as do other types. I'm using latest Beta 304.79, which seem fine but I've not compared.

Any idea how can I run the game with 301.42 driver?

[ATAG_Septic]

New Beta drivers 305.53, I've not tested anything yet.

I can't remember them causing a problem with my system and Cliffs so I can't offer any information.

I would do a clean driver install first if I was determined to use the WHQL driver but my personal experience is that these Beta drivers are typically good and just a quick research will weed out those causing widespread problems.

Thanks for the tip that beta is working!

I need some help. Desperately. Like many others, I have struggled to find an acceptable way to run this sim. I have tried, everything, that I "think" that I know. I would be most appreciative and hopefully enlightened, if some kind soul is capable of interpreting the results of the 3D Mark Advantage tests that I have just made. Are the tests acceptable for my CPU and Graphics Card? Anything else, that I need to be aware of?

Thank You

Vantage is WAY outdated so download 3Dmark11 and then run the test.
