Realistic system specs
 

What does everyone think are the minimum and maximum specs for decent fps at medium to high settings. When I say decent I mean a minumum of 25 -30fps under ALL conditions.

AMD and Intel specs.

I smell Xmas coming.....

And somebody is preparing his wishlist ;)

Don't know what everyone else is running, here is what I have (recently upgraded to) and am achieving good frame rates 40--60 fps over land.

AMD M4N98TD-EVO
AMD Phenom2 965 x 4, 3.4gig
8gig DDR3 Ram
2x GTS 450 Sli (1gig each)
1Tb HDD Partitioned x 5
700w Coolermaster single rail P/S 52a
19" Samsung 931BW monitor
1280 x 960 Resolution

Single graphics card?? probably GTX 460 min or ATI equivalent. Make sure you get a Dx 11capable card.

The Intel systems are probably slightly faster than AMD, but AMD would give best performance per dollar spent. I normally used Intel but decided to give AMD a try and am not sorry. My system is stock settings, no overclocking.

Minimum specs, using Win7 64-bit with 4GB memory:

Intel: Core2 Q6600 with a GeForce GTS450
AMD: Athlon-II X4 with a Radeon HD5770
(I guess you could swop the graphics cards around :))

Maximum: how deep are your pockets? Link :shock:

My system specs that will run IL-2 Cliffs of Dover as you please (Similar settings to what you want):
GTX 460 (single, not sli)
AMD II 970 X4 at 3.5 (Stock)
8 gigs of 1.3 DDR3 ram.

My system is mid range and plays it with decent performance but I may upgrade my graphics card in a couple of years.

I do not play in the high settings with full buildings but i have my aircraft set to high and i love it even though my landscape is set low.
Until i get a new rig this is what i play on and with no lag either .

Dell 560mt

Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5500 @ 2.80GHz

Total Physical Memory: 6.00 GB

Video Card - ATI Radeon HD 5770

and a 700 watt psu

i have everything set on high but i dont use shadows or grass ( personal prefference ) @ 1680 res atm need 2 more moniters :)

my spec is

AMD 1090T stock
8 gig corsair 1600 ram
ati 6970 2 gig
some crappy HD that needs replacing
asus crosshair III mobo
1250 watt psu coolermaster

and this minimuns wont cut it. you will have to play with everithing on low, and fly alone. any other aircraift will bring you stutters.

Windows 7 64bit Pro
Intel X-25M SSD
Intel E8400 (2x3Ghz) Core 2 Duo
8 GB RAM

Just for reference... Look at my sig. I have everything maxed out with AA enabled via FxAA injector @1920x1200. Never dips below 30fps online and offline, even with 50+ planes in the sky. Paid a little over $1000 USD and it was worth every penny! I highly recommend going with the 2500k.. what a beast!
