It will definitely improve. For now I will try lowering resolution and fiddling with affinity mask

yep ill try with AM set to 15...

Dropping resolution from 1680 x 1050 to 1440 x 900 made a big difference for me.
Obviously, Epi filter off (if you don't have epilepsy...)
process affinity 15 in the conf.ini
tree's,houses off or very low
clouds off in missions
seems to work for me anyway!

I have made better experiences for me with AM=14.

I can get the game to run of sorts if i turn everything down or off, but why would I want to do that, Im not seeing a whole different FM, the AI isnt as good as Il2 from what Ive seen so far. And with everything turned down or off then Il2 looks and feels loads better than Clod.

Well even my rig suffers, over London I was getting fps in the 20s, dropping to 15-20 as I scanned around with TrackIR, that was with Medium Forest and Medium Buildings Amount, 1680x1050, AAx4, AFx8. I then reduced Forest to Very Low and Buildings to Low for two reasons. There are far too many individual trees around (just like FSX) and it just looks wrong especially in London. Very Low seems better. Also Forest and Buildings Amount are known hogs which MG are working on to render in a different way. So with Very Low Forest and Low Buildings Amount I get 30-40fps, dropping into the 20s as I scan around. When I set Building Details from High to Medium I get another 5-10 fps over London (30-45). That should all improve when they patch it.

And thats the point, you may need to play with some settings especially those that don't really matter. MG may have given us a zillion trees but not only doesn't it look right I can do without them.

Does your friend have the 580 combined with 460 in SLi ? (didn't know you could with 2 different cards) because SLi is porked atm, its a fix they are working on. A single GPU works better than 2 atm, also I saw someone raise the question about dual cards (580?) asking if they work as 2 cards in SLi mode but that may be a red herring.

I also have Shadows off and Grass off (who needs it?).

I'm sure things will get better but just like FSX I don't think the PCs are out there yet that can deliver everything the game has to offer.

Did you try disabling SLi?

one pattern, going by reports from users, is that the old quad cores with lower hz rates are some of the worst performers in CoD. people with current dual core cpu's (which includes hyper threading, even if by some indications this might not be extensively used yet) seem to do much better

similar with gfx cards, single cards with 1.5 gb vram or higher seem to have no problems, but people with "sli on one card" (with each section having 1 gb vram) dont have much joy.

the older i7 cpu's might seem kool to wannabe's that havnt done their homework before plonking their money down, but these i7's strength really only lies in video encoding/decoding and other similar type applications that are specifically programmed to use them (which most games dont, and afaik there is no indication BoB/SoW will be either). they are a complete misbuy for a gaming in 2010/2011, and usually perform significantly worse then cheaper current midrange i5's (most of which have significantly higher mhz but are only dual cores).

are you serious??
 

Are you serious ???

But the true is, I have i5 750 oc 4GHz, 1600/7/7/7 RAM 4GB and GTX480 (stock clocks) and an SSD. And this sim cant run in 1920/1080. I have horrible stutters, although fps is around 30-40 (medium to low settings), on lowest possible settings also no joy. And my GPU never exceeds 95%load. There is a huge problem with coding I think.
