Actually I'm looking for a combination of parts that work with CoD rather than for a particular resolution or detail level. I have noticed that many of the people complaining were using NVidia graphics cards, so I'm looking for another card. I have nothing against NVidia (my old machine has an NVidia card, and it has never given me reason to complain), but to me at lesst it seems CoD and NVidia isn't a good combination. My idea is that if a few people who have the game running well post their specks, I might get an idea about what setups are working.

All people having >20 fps over London are using mediocre resolutions like 720p.

My GTX570 has good fps at that resolution, too. Hurts the eyes on a 24" though.

Thanks, Tintifaxl!

Strange The Nvidia part that is My setup.
System spec win7 32 P8P67 EVO I5 2500k 4 Ghz
Nvidia GTX 560 ti 1GB 4GB 1333 kingston Scyte Mugen2 cooler
I'm at 1440x900 and have everything except the planes with are as high as I can get them on medium.
FPS reported is generaly 60 -->> 80 over land more over water.
But It is not lag free everything moves smooth enough but soem times at iregular intervals i get IL2 typ freezes.
Not to manny actually it plays like forgotten battles on my rig.
Cheers

i7-2500K @4Ghz+
4-8gb RAM
gtx570 (too little vram though), 580-1.5 or 3gb(better), ati6950-2gb, 6970-2gb

You can mod 6950 bios to get 6970 as far as I know. But ati users have many complaints too. Wait for the next drivers issue to know who gives better support to CoD. Betta drivers from NV work well according to rumors (see performance link in my sig).

Even 580 or 6970 give only 40-50 fps, with drops over London at native monitor res. We'll have better cards available by the end of the year I think.

I was thinking the same thing. In two to three months people will have a much clearer picture of what sort of system to aim for.

Runs very well for me since I swapped out the motherboard and processor for what I have now (see my sig)

I'm getting 40 - 50 fps over land (average that is)
60 - 70 fps over sea (again that's average)

Had a six on six dogfight last night over the sea..it was pegged on 90fps for most of the session.

I run at a modest 1280x720 to suit my projector tho'

I also auto tuned the Phenom and it's reporting 3.7Ghz

No problem...I should have added:

All video settings on 'High'. Grass, Forest and Roads all on.
