37 FPS on the Black Death track. Bad?

[mazex]

That sounds rather bad, something must be possible to find..

I get the results below with a rather similar rig (1,5 years old now - waited for BoB news but decided to buy anyway in december 2006 - good choice!):

From the Fraps log:

2008-05-12 21:44:00 - il2fb
Frames: 10774 - Time: 155469ms - Avg: 69.300 - Min: 24 - Max: 117

That is with 4.09b1 (latest dll:s), every thing maxed out that I know of

Open GL 1280x1024 (all on high/perfect etc)
Nvidia driver forced to 16x Aniso and 16qx Anti Aliasing + AA Transparency
Forest=3
LandShading=3
Water=4

etc...

Have you tried this?:

conf.ini:

ProcessAffinityMask=2

Nvidia 3D options "overrides" for il2fb.exe:

Texture Filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization = on
Texture Filtering - Trilinear optimization = off
Vertical sync = force off

Some say the above can help...
