Official system requirements

In IL2 there is a switch in the conf.ini file where you can select cores.
I leave at the default, but it is available.

Yes, I have a quad processor too.

Have confidence in the developer. The processor cores and multi-threading is not going away for awhile. You can expect the ability will be available to those who want to more specifically manage their hardware.

Especially, with dx11 on the near horizon there will be alot more to the COD configuration than the 10 year old IL2.

Thats true Nearmess, but there wasn't any switch for multi GPU's which is what is being discussed. However you could force SLI through the driver or 3rd party programs such as nHancer which did increase performance, it seems this may be the same for Cliffs of Dover, however we currently have no idea if it will increase perforamce. Worth noting though for anyone about to splash out on two high end GPU cards.

I've just posted this at SimHQ too, but here goes: SLI-Crossfire performance is entirely dependent on driver implementation. It is not coded for within the software itself. I expect Tree to argue with me, but the truth is, as usual, he's wrong, and does not understand how it works.

sigh.... what your saying is that you have never seen in any other title an option for using dual cards, well you are wrong on that my friend.

You don't understand the difference between choosing to allow Physx support and running SLI.

Of course I do, you enable physics within the driver, you can select one card to handle this alone. However most modern titles such as Call Of Duty Worl at war allow you to select dual cards within the setup without having to go into the driver, for SLI that is. You may not choose to use this option because you may want to use one card to handle the physics, but the option is within the game non the less.

As said on SimHQ, look up r_gpusync. You really don't know what you're talking about.

Yes, I missed that about multi-gpu. I really haven't thought much about SLI or crossfire, since my last system build. I realized at that time there really wasn't much performance difference between SLI and a good single card. I concluded it was just more heat and problems than I wanted to deal with for my evening ventures into IL2 land. (10 yr old sim)

I understand, the SLI and crossfire have developed a great deal in the past 2 years. I think planning for the future makes sense, but I will still want to wait until I have good familiarity with the BOB COD. I believe patience pays, especially when taking on improved technologies.

However, the more I think on this I think it is less an issue for BOB developers as it is for the processor/VC manufacturers.

You can only select which cpu core you want it to run on. Big deal.

He can't hear you.
