Anyway - the thing that makes people think these days that three year old budget cards should work fine in a modern "high spec game" like this are living under the umbrella created by Xbox360/PS3 limitations that has stopped serious pushing of the PC envelope the last years. CoD has maps with a size and density that is totally out of the Xbox/PS3 scope - even tough there is a lot of optimizing to do I think the patches has proven that it will be possible to fix the engine to a really nice state soon.

When IL2 came out I had this rig:

Asus A7M266 Motherboard - 512Mb PC2100 DDR - Athlon Thunderbird 1.33 Ghz - Geforce 3 64Mb

I never remember any of the performance problems people where talking about when IL2 came out on that monster rig

Back then the Nvidia Riva TNT 1 was less than three years old - and anyone trying to run IL2 on a TNT 1 would not be taken seriously if he/she said they had bad performance and where "forced" to upgrade.

I had an Athlon 900Mhz 512MB PC133 SDRAM Geforce 2MX 32MB rig when IL-2 demo was released, it ran ok at "medium settings" IIRC. Upgraded my GF2 to an Elsa Gladiac GeForce3 64MB just before IL-2 was released and it ran really well actually with most settings on "high". I don't care what some people seems to recall but I don't recall IL-2 being anywhere near the bad shape as CloD was on release.
