First impressions out of the box...

Left 'as installed' (Medium settings), FPSs 58-60 (Samsung Monitor is 60Hz refresh) over water, dropping further into the 50s over land. Running the Spitfire and Hurricane Free Flights.

High Settings, 40-50 over water, dropping into the 30-45 over land in a Blenheim over the island atolls and even further to 15-30 at low level with a face full of trees.

I'll be turning the grass off and playing with more settings tomorrow but for starters it isn't bad.

My friend is running i7 3.4GHz, 6Gb RAM and Nvidia 255 (265?) and getting 17-30 with medium settings.

All the above noted when flying on his game PC acting as a server for us. Blenheims were 6 off.

Too early to tell really but it could be a GPU issue, our 4 cores were not much taxed. My low level run had the first thread of each core loaded as approx 75%, 30%, 15%, 10% and ~3Gb RAM used.

How do I measure GPU RAM used?

Views seem a bit more restricted than IL-2, especially in Gunsight view which limits head movement to about 90' each side. My TrackIR IL-2 settings seem a bit twitchy in BobTheCod, more to investigate.

Not the most objective report, just an indicator.
