N680GTX has just made my il2cod "flyable"

[highness]

just my 2cents:

i have been using a 295GTX for the last 2-3 years, and today i have decided to upgrade and picked up an MSI N680GTX

so, with the current version of il2cod and the 295GTX i was having an average of 7-15fps and annoying stutters with the following settings (see the screen below), flying or doing anything in the sim was just impossible and with lower settings it was just looking ugly:



now, with the N680GTX and the same settings as above, i am having an average of 19-38 FPS! and i just couldn't believe how nearly smoothly it was running, the performance improvement was really really MAJOR here! it became nearly stutterless and, now definitely PLAYABLE/FLYABLE...

so far, i no longer need to wait for the new patch as i got my il2cod "fixed" somehow..

my other system specs are: i5 (oclocked to 4ghz), 8gb ram, win7 64bit

Good to hear, you will be very impressed wit the next patch though. Maybe you could tune a the highs to very high.

the "highs" were the highest settings available

I have a avg 85 fps on my rig. never drops below 58.

If i put vsync on i get 60fps and never below 58.

I run same full settings. power is in the i7

I can not agree here. I had a I7 2700 before, when i still had my GTX 480 running and i have it now. The big performanceboost came from the graphicscard with no doubt.

Do you have Hyperthreading disabled playing CloD?

How does CloD look on your 40" (which resolution btw?). Any problems with reading text on that screen when using as a pc screen?

Thank you

I got almost the same machine as you have. All settings at high. 2xAA and grass and shadows enabled. With a GTX570 and I2500@4.3 I'm getting around 50fps. It does get below 50fps though (low teens)when I fly close to explosions. I should get my 680 in this week. Somehow I don't think it's going to make that much of a difference. Just a bit faster with less power draw and heat. I'll make sure to do a few benchmarks before and after the switch with the same game settings.

Texture quality "original" for sure. If you want dull out of focus cockpits and airplanes that look lower res for a 1/2 fps improvement then switch from Original : )

Luther mentions Original textures in this link and its true in my experience.

Agree to OP here. Put in an 680GTX in my rig too yesterday. 2560x1500 with everything to high and pretty smooth gameplay. Now if the patch makes whats its said to be doing CloD will be my next spare time filler and i can hopeyfully finally wave goodbye to the well done but "biased to hell an back FM- game" ROF.
