I just built a new rig (to play bc2) and win7 is giving me a rating of 7.2/4 across the board with the exception of the HD (5.9) and it is a modest build
ASrock 870 extreme
Phenom X3 3.2ghz
kingston 1066 (4gb)
ATI 5750 (1gb)
Corsair 750 watt psu
win7 ultimate 64

I just reinstalled il2 (UP 2.01) And i am getting 225 avg fps at 1600x1200 rez with everything set to excellent .. what does that translate to? i hoping i can play CoD at high settings and a modest rez

For the record I have a new pc as of a few months ago because my pc of 4 years got fried. Guess how? In the civ5 game menu which I forgot to quit and I fell asleep. Why? Because the devs never capped the max fps rate in the game menu...
Fail at probably 400fps in a menu (of civilization game...) fried my computer. It was embarrasing
