IL-2 Cliffs of Dover Cliffs of Dover Optimization and Performance Thread

[Pudfark]

I need some help. Desperately. Like many others, I have struggled to find an acceptable way to run this sim. I have tried, everything, that I "think" that I know. I would be most appreciative and hopefully enlightened, if some kind soul is capable of interpreting the results of the 3D Mark Advantage tests that I have just made. Are the tests acceptable for my CPU and Graphics Card? Anything else, that I need to be aware of?

Thank You

My Results: With AMD 955 @3.6 and EVGA 570HD 2.5 vram (stock speeds)

Thank You for your time.

Vantage is WAY outdated so download 3Dmark11 and then run the test.

Will do, Thank You

Report back with your results, also run the Black Death Track and post your min. avg. max fps.


Start black death track and when it loads cntrl f12 or whatever you have the console keys bind to? Then type FPS START SHOW, press enter and cntrl f12 or whatever your keys are to start the console.

Have now downloaded and run latest version of 3DMark.
On to the Black Death track....following your instructions to the letter.
Thanx BP

I'm having a heck of a time getting the "fps Show Start" thingy to work.
I can't get it to display the numbers in real time.
When I type it in the box, lower left hand corner, it seems to indicate that it recognizes the command, then nothing is displayed. Help needed?

Anyway, here are the results of the most recent 3D Mark11 tests :

I'm willing to TS3 in case I'm too dull witted to understand a written instruction. Thanx again.

Nice test... on the fps type just like you see this, note that some need to be caps, and press enter
