LOL!
You'll still get killer fps.

Why do people buy stuff before they actually need it?

Because they can LOL!

I'm seeing all of this emphasis on Video Cards, which is OK, but if the CPU can't process info fast enough, all of the GPU power in the world is wasted.

I'm curious at to how the game works with MULTI-CORE CPUs.

Will it take advantage of multi-cores, or will it only use one core?

You can do some multi-core select right now in the conf.ini of IL2 so I would say yes on multi-core. Especially, since Oleg was planning for several years in the future for the BOB COD.

Hi, Luthier. Do you think that CoD can benefit from a SLI setup like two GTX 580?
Or it is more CPU bound and a I7 2600K OC with a single GTX 580 is a enough at this time paired with 8GB of fast RAM for max settings?
Or even " no system can do max settings at this time" ( that will be really impressive indeed)

If you can't run CoD at max settings with that hardware, then God help us all!

Excellent, lower than expected.

Looks like i'l be playing on High with lots of eye candy!

Dual Core E8400 @ 3.6 Ghz

Subconsciously believeing that having the system will make the game release faster? I remember around 2003-2004 people were making killer rigs to play the first Stalker game, and then had to wait another 2-3 years for it to come out.

Either way, building a "killer rig" in the last year will probably mean you'll be playing COD with a lot of the bells a whistles enabled and a decent framerate, just not as fast or as cheaply as people who waited.

Maybe it's a stupid question but since I have a 3-core cpu I'd like to know if that would leave me better off than a dual core? I know there's a lot more to it than just having a lot of cores, L1/2/3 cache and clock frequency etc.

Absolutely! I just bought my new rig in December and what happens? Oleg rushes to announce the release of the game just 4 weeks later.

You guys owe me a beer for my farsighted investment and Market influence!!

Now if it's ok I'll carry on reading the trest of the umpteen pages of this thread.

EDIT: Well I got through to page 21.

128kps upstream?
Don't flame me guys but does anyone really have an upstream that low? Is that why it's only 128 players?
