Problem with il-2 Sturmovik:cliffS of dover game

[whoarmongar]

I got a GTS 250 1gb , works fine for me. @1280x1024,85hz. London sightseeing 25-35 FPS, external view 30-45. using fraps.
Building detail low, forests low, land shading low, aa off, model detail high, damage decals high, medium the rest. No tearing or glitching, what can I say, its playable.

Considering my system is pretty modest by todays standards, nothing is overclocked and its very stable im quite happy with this game since the patches, I do like NVidia cards tho they just seem to give less problems. Its a personal choice.
To be honest the bigest setting up problem has been my TrakIr but I messed about with the profile and now its sweet as a nut.
Remember to clear out your shaders in your cache when applying new patches or updates, this is really important for a nice looking game.
Also helps if your pc isnt groaning under the weight of full drives and has been cleaned up and defragged.

I generally set any game up for about 25-35 FPS and just adjust the detail up/down to achieve this, When I cant reach this, I upgrade.
