Low FPS in cities on a high end PC

I run the game using a 4650, and I can achieve max-settings without any real FPS loss. It's a weak card, but for Il-2 I haven't had any real issues

But you get crappy fps - mine were somewhere in the 30's, bd track will go as low as 1.

If you use W7, realy best in MT than XP, you will see gains with more cores, even if IL-2 just uses one. Windows and all the other processes uses resources, and more cores improve performance. Just to fly IL-2 I can have Teamspeak, Freetrack, FOV changer, JoyToKey and more things running in backgroud, so, this kind of upgrade really improves performance!

Like I said, I didn't notice any improvements - I always(and only) had FT and TS3 running in background.

I tried to measure gains with the black death track - only gave me 2 or 3 fps.

OS: W7-64U

Hmm, an average of 30-40 I'd say, and I find this smooth enough for me
Funnily enough, I have no issue around the cities....
But I would like a new system
