IL-2 COD Really Comes to Life with a decent Video Card

You got a video card you didn't need at the time and had to watch it go obsolete before the game was out.
Not their fault really. It was obvious COD would need a monster pc to run. All new sims do.

Jaws, I will admit to "my bad"...and upgrading the card..the 8800gt was bottlenecking my processor some at the time...hence, the 465..in anticipation of the game...No 500 series cards were out at that time...

However, who would have "thunk"...six months ago, based on the release then, that a 465 would not run this game on a mid range setting? And arguably now, won't.

Who would knowingly? Spend approx. $600 bucks now, to get current a 580..
to have it go into obsolescence a year from now....when this sim will hopefully be somewhat finished...Not Me.

All I'm saying and meaning...is this?
To chase this sim with your wallet, right now?
Is a waste of money and time.....
I advocate?
Waiting and hoping
vs
Spending and wasting...

That's all and no argument from me....
