congratulation for the optimisation,
sincerly great job !!! it's a honest config and it's not pressent for me to change my config.

Having said that I am future proofed (for a year at least) but nevertheless

LOL!
You'll still get killer fps.

Why do people buy stuff before they actually need it?

As in the original il2,I will upgrade as and when necessary as the sim matures,or I want more eyecandy.
Simples

Sh*t! You had a P4 2,66 back at IL-2 launch? If so, that was high-end back then. That GeForce 4 MX440 must have been the bottleneck, castrated Geforce 2 GTS that was. I had (still have and still working!) an Athlon XP 1900+ (1,6 GHz) 1 GB RAM and a super expensive Elsa Gladiac GeForce 3 back then. Anyway, my current setup is Athlon IIx3@2,7GHz, 4GB ram and a 4670. Game will probably run ok but I have a feeling that my 4670 might have to be exchanged. Will test the game first though.

Because they can LOL!

I'm seeing all of this emphasis on Video Cards, which is OK, but if the CPU can't process info fast enough, all of the GPU power in the world is wasted.

I'm curious at to how the game works with MULTI-CORE CPUs.

Will it take advantage of multi-cores, or will it only use one core?

Excellent, lower than expected.

Looks like i'l be playing on High with lots of eye candy!

Dual Core E8400 @ 3.6 Ghz

Subconsciously believeing that having the system will make the game release faster? I remember around 2003-2004 people were making killer rigs to play the first Stalker game, and then had to wait another 2-3 years for it to come out.

Either way, building a "killer rig" in the last year will probably mean you'll be playing COD with a lot of the bells a whistles enabled and a decent framerate, just not as fast or as cheaply as people who waited.

You can do some multi-core select right now in the conf.ini of IL2 so I would say yes on multi-core. Especially, since Oleg was planning for several years in the future for the BOB COD.

Maybe it's a stupid question but since I have a 3-core cpu I'd like to know if that would leave me better off than a dual core? I know there's a lot more to it than just having a lot of cores, L1/2/3 cache and clock frequency etc.

Hi, Luthier. Do you think that CoD can benefit from a SLI setup like two GTX 580?
Or it is more CPU bound and a I7 2600K OC with a single GTX 580 is a enough at this time paired with 8GB of fast RAM for max settings?
Or even " no system can do max settings at this time" ( that will be really impressive indeed)
