Live with it - be happy what you get.
Also:
There are enough users here with incredible machines, once CoD is out they will all post their results(guaranteed) here.
Once you have those results, you can decide which card is best for you.

Huge f***ing deal if you can't play CoD with maxed out everything from day one, huh?

I see that the NEW CoD is not optimiced for panoramical screens. I see the cockpit images as on my 16:9 flying Il2 1946.

I was waiting to see a video where the lateral view is incremented not a video with that "cuts" up and down screen

Pd: hope I'm wrong, what do u think?

So the object density is set by the host then?

Actually, I have no idea what you're talking about.
But hen again that could be just me.

So no, you will not get the info you're craving for.

Or maybe it just happened to be the one they felt like taking a video of for the majority of us who are quite happy to get whatever they feel like giving us?

Maybe pandering to everyone's specific whims doesn't rate high up on the to-do list because they have some better videos and info coming over the following weeks and their time is better spent with other things that actually matter?

From what I've seen so far I've got a pretty good idea what to expect for performance, including over cities and realize that no matter how you cut it, ideally something around 3.5 - 4Ghz is going to do pretty decently for framerate in these situations. I still think we'll get dips below 30fps over London, but it also looks like we can adjust object density to suit whatever framerate we target too.

That's good enough for me for now.

You are close to the true.

Indeed, understood.

You need a good video card to play over populated areas. We have huge textures so lots of video memory is important too.

Excellent info, thanks.

There's probably at least a year of work left on it to make it great.

So is that likely to happen at some stage (ignore if already answered, I haven't finished reading this thread).

Thank you for releasing more info for us, much appreciated.

We need to write a whole different chunk of code for that kind of input to be recognized properly.

Thanks for the heads up. I will live in hope for a possible update some time in the future.

Still, that gives me a month to sruce up my BU0836 based trim and switch controls.

All the best and I hope the next month and a bit goes well for you and the whole development team.

Cheers!

OK, Cheer Luthier.
