How's the optimizing coming along?

SSD for Windows 7 yes boots quite fast!

GTX 570 is ~1,3gb and sufficient to play CloD if you can sacrifice a few graphical options. I still get the impression that I'm running the game well beyond the communitys average graphics without much trouble. The idea is to buy another 570 once the price drops and run it SLI with 2,6GB total Vram

I run it on a Gigabyte 560TI SOC, with everything at max, and it runs flawlessly, without any microstutters or anything. The system is in my sig.

Just a heads up, running two cards in SLI does not double your VRAM, you have the same amount of VRAM as a single card. Both cards keep exactly the same data in VRAM at the same time, your VRAM capacity does not double. If you run a single monitor fine with a single GTX570 then two will increase your FPS but higher resolutions, especially triple monitors kille the GTX570 due to hitting the VRAM limit.

If you notice your FPS dropping due to hitting a VRAM wall with a single GTX570 you will still hit the exact same VRAM wall with two of them.

TY I think maybe I'll go for a GTX 590 then when the prices are dropped on that, or sell my old GTX 570 HD and use the money to upgrade to a 580, we'll see

590 is a SLI card and has the same limitations. The ultimate solution today is aiming at 2 or 3 gtx580 with 3GB vram each in SLI. But in 6 months things will be much different as usual.

I also use a 560ti with 1 Gig although mine's an Asus. I also run with everything on maximum and get smooth frames. I have vsync on as I find that stops the props flickering and over the sea I am mostly getting 60fps overland 40 fps upwards and over London mid to high 30s or more.

I've got a evga gtx 560 ti SC and I have to turn things like shadows off and lower others to get decent frame rates, how are you doing it?
