More powerful GPU will certainly help - the newish GTX5xx series are very good for CloD from what I've read on the forums, but I'd think about a CPU upgrade too. I'm no expert though, at the end it's all trial and error really. Lower textures and no shadows will certainly help - but it's up to you how much graphical quality you want to sacrifice.

Also, try pseudo windowed mode, that might help. Vysnc & SSAO off, no grass/roads/etc and buildings/building detail low.
i cant sacrifice anything that will spare me out of the stutters.... if i throw away shadows buildings and textures i get regular FPS, but stuttering is still there...


thanks for the feedback.

This is why I won't upgrade my card yet. As the game still relies on one core so heavily, with turbo boost on the main core mine maxes at 3.5 or whatever. The blokes with 4+mhz processors are doing ok, but once the load is spread over other cores more evenly, us mid-range users might find a big improvement without shelling out lots of cash on hardware. So I'm going to wait awhile and see what happens.

Of course my knowledge of computers and how they work is hopeless, so I might be talking rubbish.

suttering is from the unoptimized code, faster CPU/GPU help but i will not go out and spend $500 or more just to overcame unoptimized code, let them fix the game first then maybe look into upgrades if you need them.

Have same problem (overdrive) with COD & Ati 5770. Overdrive won't start automaticly. It stays with default clocks, and they are too low. I can set higher clocks with Ati Tray Tools to 950/1250 and it runs much better. CPU load is lower than 40 %.

OK, I find thread with solution. Problem with Ubi introvideo
To fix this, simply rename or delete the Ubisoft logo movie file located in your Steam directory: \Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core\GUI (http://www.oceanicwing.com/Forum/Mai...sg4231#msg4231)

Will try it when I get home.

thanks for the feedback.
Which quadcore are you using? There are so many out there ...

Is your graphics card installed in a PCI-E 1x slot maybe? The tool GPU-Z could tell you that.

I ran tests with my GTX 570 in the PCI-E 1x slot (better airflow and cable management in that slot) and the only game that suffered dramatically from it was CloD. Other games like Arma2 or DCS-A10C where not affected much, lost maybe 5 fps in there, but CloD became unplayable in medium settings.

The tool for info about the GPU is called Gpu-Z.
