GTX660tiOC

[vncnt]

So I got an EVGA 660 3Gb vefore I could read your comment. To be honest I don't play other games than COD and I'm very pleased with the card.
I can finally really play, all details maxed out.

Sorry, but you searched wrong. Perhaps we not spoke about an oc model, but we spoke about the 660ti. Even it has enough vram for now, the vram interface is very low end at all new cards. Even a 580 is more sufficient. I just said, that you should read about 660 cards first before buying. It would be helpful!

You should state your resolution. I would say: even at 1080 p, which is a normal resolution, you would never ever get constantly over 50fps in this setup! Even on lower res I doubt, because at 1080p, even the best single cards will sometimes drop down to 30 fps!

And that is constant fact! There are also players in bf3 singing about 60fps all maxed out, but they are also proven wrong. In the benches only 2 cards hold up over 50 fps. And these are the top cards and noone else. Fact!

Don't guess I could get you to save me the trouble and have you post those two cards?

I'm not over excited about my 660 ti 3g FTW it does the job but its nothing over the the top.
It could be because I only have a 3.4 AMD pushing it though.

I had to OC the AMD to 3.8 to even start to get the 660 to get a move on.

In the BD track of CLOD I'm getting 31avg 61max 11min 1600x1200 rez. and that's only because I start the fps a few seconds before the Bomb drop. For some reason just like in the old IL2 the begging of the track has some hard frame hits for no apparent reason. So I start tracking after those hard freezes.

Here is a screen shot of where I'm starting the track at roughly.

So thats the reason! Without the big impact in the track, I get a constant over 70 fps on 1080p (mainly swinging between 90 - 120) with vsync on. That is no deal. I measure on the hardest points and there I get roughly 30 fps minimum. That is, what I am talking about.

I'm thinking possibly a solid state drive might help with the hard loads in the beginning, I'm betting its something with loading objects and the skins on them. I've got plenty of onboard ram and video ram. 16 meg on-board and 3 on gpu.

In-game normal play I don't get those freezes so far like in the BD track. Odds are because most mission builders are not putting in as many objects or after years of doing it on the original IL2 they build smarter to avoid these things, like we have for years.

Ya forgot to mention the two GPU's that do such a great job?

To the OP good card buy. Very good bang for the buck.
