I've just been eyeing up IL2 Battle of Stalingrad because I currently have the money to buy a "standard" pack or whatever it's called.

However I'm not confident of my PC running it.

I have tried the Rise of Flight free to play demo because that's what the Il2 BoS "about the game" site states to use as a benchmark, and with everything set to max (everything that I can see) and 30 planes in the air (15 on my side, 15 enemy) I'm getting about 30-40fps.

In the training missions I was getting 60fps in the air (might be more but I capped it at 60) and about 35-40fps on landing/takeoff.

So it's playable and I'm sure I would get more fps with the max number of planes in the air if I drop some eye candy.

However I've noticed the recommended specs for RoF are considered the minimum for BoS, and before shelling out money for IL2 BoS I'd like to know what my chances are of running it in reasonable graphical quality and performance (I've invested in games recently that just don't run well on my PC (DCS World, Project Cars to name a couple) and I'd like to stop wasting my money).

My PC specs are -

AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE @3.2ghz
Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 1GB
8 GB 133mhz DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 64 bit


So, any ideas on how my PC will run BoS?

You're better off asking at the Battle of Stalingrad forums...

But I'd say yes it should be fine. Your CPU is a little on the weaker side but otherwise what you have is pretty solid. Don't expect to run at the maximum settings. I run on the high settings with the following:

Core i7 870 2.9ghz
EVGA nVidia GTX 570
12gb of Mushkin Blackline DDR3-1333
Windows 7 64bit

Performance is good but I get the occasional slowdown with a lot of aircraft flying around. Trying to tweak that out a bit but also aware that the final code isn't quite here yet... so we'll see.

Should be fine. Maybe ask some folks on the official forums for BoS... see how someone with a similar system matches up.

I'm running a Black Edition 965 and until recently an ATI 5850 video card. I was able to run BoS just fine on Balanced settings. I just upgraded to a 6970 and it handles Ultra settings very nicely.
