A friend told me to wait with purchasing CloD for a year...

It seems to me...
The folks that have the most success with this sim are using:
Fast, overclockable Intel processors...which you seem to have.
Win 7 64 bit OS
A quality MB with 8gig or more of RAM.
NVIDIA 580 GTX w/ 3gig of Vram...no sli

In my mind/experience...this sim is about to turn the corner, in the
direction of success...the patch after this one will determine it.

I am not advising you to spend $600 on the NVIDIA card at the moment.
However, when things are sorted? It might be a consideration...It will be that for me...along with the equipment listed above.

Many folks here are smarter than myself, to include you...
Frustration often leads to good folks overlooking simple things...
When trouble shooting problems?
The best advice, I have ever received, is to work from the wall plug towards the problem...

Good Luck and a cold beer go a long ways towards problem solving...

Hey, do I whine so much?
Didn't mean to but was expecting so much from this beta. But the official patch will be better.
Still enjoy this sim enormously and the new sound has raisen the immersion level alot.

Thanks. I've got an iMac so can't switch card but I agree that best setup is what you specify with the addon that the Intel CPU must be atleast 4 cores.

A cold beer solves alot of stuff. For instance, the high pitched sound of a nagging wife gets kinda muffled and toned down after a couple.
