I'll just LOVE it NOW

Over clocking gave me solid gains and I plan to push my CPU as close to 4Ghz as I can, but unless the developers are able to make COD take more advantage of other cores I think the Intel guys are going to have a better time with their higher memory read/write times and higher CPU speeds.

I have everything set to high with the exception of Trees (low for online play) and buildings which are on unlimited, However I have grass off (causes serious stutters) and Shadows off. This gives me solid mid 40’s FPS over towns and low 80’s most everywhere else. Shadows was what pulled my frames down, with shadows on and the same game setting I would get mid 20’s over towns and it would drop to high teens with other aircraft and flack. I am hoping with the optimization they are able to rectify some of these issues.

Try to OC your 1090, that is a must!

I just can't belive that you get such poor results with that monster card.

I run the sim on 560 TI 1GB w/o any problems you mentioned,
with almost everything on max except building details on medium
and forest on low.
I have 2500k on 4.5 GHZ, but I'm shure that thuban on ~ 4 GHz
will perform very close.
Your 30% GPU usage points at problem, CPU can't fill GPU with data.

Also about shadows, I dont have problems with them at all,
but I saw some guys with ATI cards have it, maybe some driver settings,
or new driver will help.

What is the resolution on which you play CLOD?. So we know what we are talking about.

Unfortunatly my 1055T does not like overclocking at all! I have 550W Corsair so this should be enough! But everything over 2950 MHZ is a nono! damn

Why reach for the sky, just turn the game down a bit and enjoy...not pretty, but not that bad at all

You know I put it down on 1680 because of spotting contacts,
and I didn't have problems with 1920 either, litlle slower FPS.

My graphic card is litlle faster than yours at default , and on 950 MHz a bit more,
but I think that is not a problem.

Crank up a voltage on your CPU , 1,35 V is safe ( it wont last 20 years , 10 maybe ) and put it close to 4 GHz.

My CPU is CO version and i doubt i can do described above, with scythe catana 3...

@Ataros - new weather? When? This year? Now? ???? By thne I would probably upgrade my rig..then we will se what will be the excuse...

It is not your 1055T for shure, probably mobo (.

No not the mobo! Its a M4A89TD pro i think!

Yes, the CPU is not really keeping up, but the game is not really utilizing the CPU it to its full potential; however overall I think most Sandy Bridge Intel CPU’s will beat the AMD CPU’s due to their faster memory read/write speeds. I am hoping with an optimized game and more mature video drivers I can turn on all the present eye candy. Don’t get me wrong, the game is very smooth at 45 FPS over a town and when flying over everything else it is at 80+ with no issues and it does not turn into a stutter fest while heavily engaged over a town with lots of flack and aircraft. Bottom line the game still looks great with the settings I have. It is the Shadows, but specifically shadows while flying over towns where I get a big FPS hit so for the moment they are turned off.

As for the grass, I don’t know what is going on there, it is not an FPS issue it is just a persistent stutter, but since I don’t cut the grass very often I don’t really care about it.

I can only get the CPU to 3.4 on stock volts and this is my first time overclocking so I am taking my time and learning as much as possible before I start to mess with the voltages.
