Settings MAX @ 60fps Booya!

[Winger]

I have no stuttering at all. Only when flying really close to a foe i am about to shoot at it can happen that i get one little stutter. After that everything smooth again.
I am running everything set to high SSAO, VSYNC and AA off. Resolution 1920x1200.
Framerate ist around 50-80 frames over land or over water. Over London it goes down to say 30 fps but remains still playable.
Also the framerate suffers pretty bad when flying behind a burning or badly smoking foe. I think that can use some improvement.
I am sure next few patches will sort things and make performance even better.

My System is a I7 920 @4 GHz, 6 GB RAM and 2x GTX480 in SLI (running single chip currently). System is on a Vertex 2 SSD but the game is on a normal HDD installed.

The main point of the post was just to point out that only a budget upgrade got everything turned on and running on average into the 40's for most situations. I don't think having the latest and greatest hardware is the answer . Performance will come naturally from patch updates.

well said, good news for those with the budget systems!

Hope you didn't get me wrong, I am really happy as well with the way the game is getting along. Otherwise I would not even take the effort to try and get it working in the first place

Have played this since the very first IL-2 Sturmovik.

Latest beta patch for me is another great example of how Luthier and his team are working to improve on this to make it the WWII sim to go to for the coming years if not more.

Now if only those three blue lines would bugger off (couldn't resist, soz XD)

Very much so, imo.

I've shelved any upgrade plans (save for win 7 64 bit) until I'm confident that it's actually worthwhile.
