You say half empty I say half full

[ElAurens]

I was online in ATAG tonight with no issues flying low, and my machine is a lot older.

Even managed to bag one of those evil Huns.

Game looked good, though it was a bit hazy. Pit looked good, sounds were good. Works for me.



Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.5ghz.

6gigs DDR2 PC2-6400 Mushkin Enhanced

Gigabyte EP45-UD3R mobo

EVGA GTX 570 Superclocked 1280mb

Creative X-Fi Fatal1y Gamer sound card.

I have a similar system and get only minor stutters.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 at 3GHz.

4 GB of DDR2

AMD HD6870

Creative X-Fi also!

What settings do you run at, El?

ok, dumb question:
My friend helped me build my computer about 2 years ago, we bought the parts and put it together and all that. But now I can't recall my complete system specs. Is there a place in my PC I can look for the names of the hardware and their specs?
I have win7 64 bit that's all i know. lol

In the Start Menu, you can right click on "Computer" and hit Properties to get a quick look.

For a more in-depth look you want Device Manager which I think you can access by clicking a link in the top-left of the Computer Properties thing.

and it will tell you all you need to know in an easy nice looking detailed
window every time when you run this application including temperatures

Yep, glass is more than half full for me on the game.

Running the sim just fine (except for the slow down when involved in furballs in the clouds)

Settings mostly to max, trees at medium, textures at original.

i7 940 2.93gHz (Not Overclocked)
GTX 580 1.5gb ram
12gb system ram
Game installed on SSD drive
Running it at 1920 x 1200 on Windows 7 Pro, 64bit

Game is smooth as silk most of the time as I said. Even when weaving in and out of larger bomber formations in multiplayer.

My video card is pretty good, yes, but all the rest of it is pretty cheap stuff now.

My guess is that the people who are still having major issues with the game are mostly people who are running 32bit systems, probably XP.

your cpu is still top noch mate...btw you should push it a bit...I have my i7920 on stock volt at 3.5Ghz (HT off in BIOS)....it helps for CLOD (and youll get optimal combo with your GPU)...

I've attempted to do stuff in the past, but I always get a 'bad overclock' fail at boot. I've got stock cooling on the processor.

stock ain´t the way to go trying ocing, though i did this once on a P2, sigh, i miss that old monster
