This is the best??? I expected a hell of a lot better than this. You must have too!!! Come on, get a grip. Your 560 isn't cutting it. Run it and show us how it does on BD with all settings on medium. What are you afraid of? Just show us all the truth and quit the fanboy crap. Maybe dose of reality will bring you back to 46' when 3.0 goes final.
I'm tryng now to make FRAPS crap to work and do that... Keep calm!

FRAPS stop working in CloD after the oficial patch... another bug to people start talk... lol!

Am I the only one missing the nice "ambient light reflections" that came with the game?

Normally when viewing parts of the aircraft that were in the shadow or "outlining" the fuselage they'd reflect sortof a blue/white light representing ambient light or the light that is reflected from the ocean/sky (not direct sunlight).

They seem to be completely missing...

No video yeat, but I run the BD track and had 26 FPS average, with drops to 16 FPS minimum in the big blasts in runway. Some anoying stutters when view is change, with ugly texture loadings. With these settings:

1680x1050

AA 4x
SSAO OFF
VSYNC ON

Model Detail HIGH
Buildings Detail VERY LOW
Land Detail HIGH
Forest LOW
Visual Effect MEDIUM
Texture quality ORIGINAL
Damage decals HIGH
Buildings amunt LOW
Land Shading MEDIUM

Shadows, Roads and Grass ON

But as I said, this don't tell nothing. With these settings I made a track to record after the patch "broke" FRAS here, doing straffing and bombing with a Stuka over ground with really no stutters at all, inside cockpit view. I'll try to reinstal FRAPS to do some video.

Thank you for that dose of reality.

No, it's not real.

Real is ACTUAL GAMEPLAY, with solid +40 FPS in low level flight, straffing and bombing things...

As I said: fixed benchmarks are stupid sometimes, and lead to some equaly stupid conclusions...

People really don't learn... That's why readers that don't tried CloD yeat need to filter all stupidity out of this forum...

Trying to catch up to your post.

I know that it isn't actual gameplay. It is a benchmark and frame of reference. Your standard for graphics performance and mine are clearly different. I expect the BlackDeath track to run smooth and stutter free at 30+ fps at all times. That's my standard because that's what I have now in UP/46'. I'm not going to trade my graphics standard for better DM/CEM. It's not enough for me. I really had an expectation that this game would perform better graphics wise given the changes in technology the past 10 years. Maybe they need to go back to Open G/L. It always ran better than Direct X in 1946.

When someone posts a Cliffs of Dover Black Death FRAPS benchmark with 30 FPS as a minimum, I'll be impressed.

(crap, someone's just gonna make one up now, eh?)

You are a little bit limited.

My standard in 46 Black Death is much higher than yours... But only a fool want that a CloD heavy track performs like old 46 track in the same hardware... Here I run BD in 46 with 60 fps... that's my standard, much higher than yours...

But I have the same "standard" than you in thinking in CloD... I fly in 46 with great performance in MP running BD with stutters, drops in FPS, etc... By ages! If you think just two seconds you'll see how stupid is your last post...
