Game tweak, anyone?

So my question is, what r some of the common reasons that cause the low fps (both game and computer)? I heard there r many ways I can tweak my computer to make it perform better but can you guys please give me some directions as what to search for? Maybe some helpful websites I can read?
My specs r in my sig.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance!!

your video card (GPU) is pretty weak for this and CPU is very good...Im almost sure its a "show stopper" for you...

some advises you can find here (for tuning up your rig):

also make sure you defrag your game cache files (steam-right click on il2 COD - local files - defrag cache gaem files)....
then..you can overclock your CPU too....for info you can google...

btw this thread belongs to performance topic...

Where do you live mate? (you can probably guess where I am from that line)

I would be willing to sell you a (slightly used) ATI 6870 1gb for a hundred AUD.

You should overclock your i7, and your RAM and buy a new video card

Same for me, game runs like crap. I could go though the list of tweaks but I could also spin around in circles, come back to the game and say I got 3 more frames...lol

I think everyone is right about needing a new video card. I too have a 5770 CF and that's my problem. I have been waiting for the Nvidia 600 series to come out but thats not going to happen till 2012. Well back to EVE online, I guess, till patch\new cards are out.
