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

BD track 1680x1050 everything on medium, grass, roads etc ON. Original textures.

min 17, max 130, avg 62.144


i5 2500K @ 4.0 GHz, Gtx 560 Ti @ stock. Both can be clocked a hell of a lot more.


And regarding minimum fps, read my pervious post and use your head.


Just because u say its crap if minimum 30 fps isnt achieved in a set track doesnt make it so. Just shows u make up anything to be able to whine. If u have the game its real easy finding out the flaw in your reasoning, if u dont, well.....



Btw, did a quick test yesterday and flew a single mission (German column attack) with a total of 90 ac`s in the air. Had some stutters in a few places but nothing worse than i could have in IL2 online.
Completely playable with same settings as mentioned (and i didnt even clear my catch folder) with column and airfield being strafed and bombed.

A couple of things. First of all regarding what kind of hardware is needed to play this game without performance issues. Some of the system specs I've seen here should be able to run 2xCrysis 2 on full detail without any problems whatsoever and they have problems with CloD which is not by any means a "2011 graphics standard game". It's so obvious that it's poorly coded that it's embarrassing when someone is trying to say it's not. Get this in to your head, this game is not state of the art in the graphics department, if you don't agree then you probably aren't very up to date with the rest of the gaming industry. It's a good looking game and I love it but not to the degree where it should demand NASA like specs to be played fluently.

The second thing, how come the three blue stripes horizon is gone when luthier told us it was a graphics driver issue and not something they could correct? Good news that it's fixed but how come he told us it was AMD's problem in the past? Conflicting indeed...

First: yes, CloD is a graphic standard SIM. It's the best looking SIM available today. Don't compare a flight sim visual with FPS graphics;

Second: I run CloD fluid in a cheap quadcore, with cheap RAM and a middle range - but modern - VGA. I don't have "NASA like specs" and run the sim with great visual quality and fluid FPS.

Upgrade your CPU and VGA, or use lower settings ingame.

or lower your standards.

This fool can't upgrade from an 8600 GT, believe that IL-2 1946 with UP 3.0 is the "gold standard" in simulation and talk about "low standards"...

Really funny! Please, get a life!

I can run IL-2 Cliffs of Dover better than you run IL-2 1946 UP3.0 with your crap VGA, and windowed! I'll show... just wait!

As a consumer I will never forgive 1c for selling me a broken product for 50 € which I was unable do use it for 2 moths. When at last I started to see the light at the end of the tunnel the price of the product downs to 30 €. I consider this rather offensive. And don't come with the early adopter thing because, in this particular case, the time period was only 2 month, were many of us had to wait (some still waiting) in order to have the software running smoothly.

Being that said, it's time to look to the future and, although there's a long road in front of CloD, I must state this was the best patch (for me) so far in terms of performance. I'm assuming that the AMD 69xx series are the one's with greater FPS boost.

Regards.

In my GTX 560 Ti I notice improvements in performance too!

[ElAurens]

I'll never understand folks getting in a twist because they cannot run CloD on maximum graphic settings, and get 1 billion fps, all on a two year old computer.

This isn't a port from a console game.

It's a game engine designed to be future proof for a decade or so.

Does no one remember the release of IL2 10 years ago? There were no computers that could run it full out, even with the limited settings available in the conf.ini at the time. Over the years and many updates the graphics got better, more features and settings were unlocked which enabled better images and performance at the same time, and importantly, our hardware improved.

Can no one see that this is what will happen with Cliffs of Dover?

Oh, wait, this must be the forum for "Short Attention Span Theatre".

I didn't say anything of the kind ole chum.

I said I'd be impressed if someone posted a fraps benchmark with a 30fps minimum, and indeed I would.

If you'd used your eyes as opposed to 'my head' and read my previous posts, you and lobi would also see my fraps benchmark with settings on medium together with CCC settings and comments.

Sure, my 5770 is poor, but is 'recommended spec level' and can't run the game over London, even with everything on minimum and looking like a pre-nintendo farce.

But just to show I'm not all negativity, here's a link to a short clip I couldn't have made before this week's patch.

Thanks for the target dev team!

Just thought I'd post this before someone beats me to it.
Black Death Benchmark, all settings on the lowest possible, AA off, ssao off, vsynch and epi off. Card overclocked to 950/1425, all card settings high performance and application controlled, clear cache and ubi logo deleted.

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg

33 fps minimum!! Yaheeey!!

Funnily enough the aircraft and the sea still look great on these settings, but the land...........
