S!
Having memory does not hurt with 64-bit system. I have 8Gb and it has been enough so far. Ataros, the 7970HD kicked 6990 and 580/590 in the groin at high resolutions as a SINGLE card in recent gaming test on Guru3D using Anno 2070(DirectX 11 title) so I think Luthier's team need to pull their code together in IL-2 if we want to see any improvement in FPS using SLI/CrossFire. |

What is the visibility distance in CloD? When visibility radius is increased amount of required CPU and GPU calculations grows exponentially. This is a big issue. |

Yeah, very true. But again online you simply can not use full settings if want any decent performance from the server. LEt's hope the new GFX engine will be more streamlined and bugs fixed = more performance ![]() |

I'd say don't waste any money on hardware until the next patch comes out. They said they are redoing the 3d engine from scratch. I'd wait for that and only after that look at hardware.

cheers Ataros
I read the performance thread and made some tweaks with the settings and gamebooster. The HD 7970 is very pricy. I might just settle for the 6990, although I'm not sure if any of these are compatible with my iMac. I won't be buying anything until the Battle of Moscow is released.

It is a dual-chip card. I would never waste money on any of them for many reasons.

So not the 2x HD 7970 but rather the single card running at 1920x1200 should do the trick.

x-fire or sli are not 100% supported yet in CloD yet = stutters.
Flanker35M is getting HD 7970 soon check out his review when he does it. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...3&postcount=26 gtx 580 3 GB is not bad too. See others reports. |

Hi cheese!
I've got the latest iMac too but went for the i5 and 2GB vram. I've tested everything (I mean it). In short, the res on the iMac is what's stopping you from getting hi fps on hi settings. Problem is that if you go with a lower res then, in my eyes, it looks crap. Not like you can buy a new gcard and swap. Forget that route. You're stuck with what you have. Only upping available is RAM and that doesn't do anything to fps (I went from 4 to 12 without a single frame gained). But don't be put down. You can make this game look gorgeous. You just have some tweaking to do...and some waiting for the promised ">50% more fps" patch due any year now. ![]() I'll get back with my settings and other tweaks later. Got a kid that needs attention. Btw, I soft overclocked my card but that's just for seniors. The iMac is fast to overheat. I'll tell you more later. |
