I have an old i7 2.6Ghz, 2GB memory, an ancient GTS250 1GB card and all running on XP. Other than regular CTD I'm running very smoothly and getting a good deal of enjoyment from it.

I think people's expectations are far too high. The devs have always stressed that like the original IL2, the sim at release was unlikely to run maxed out on even the latest hardware. The patch should help of course.

For me it was great to hear that Luthier is at last off loading more onto the other cores. I really hope they get tree collision dedicated on one of the cores soon.

I find that very hard to believe.

1. Why have you got an i7 (also which one is it? 2500K?2600K? sandybridge?) with other components so outdated?

2. The GTS250 would blow up running this even with everything on low. Its just such an old card. My ATI4870 struggled to run it.

3. 2GB of RAM? really? You can run this game with 2GB ram and enjoy it? Also can you tell us whats the ram like? is it DDR3? DDR2? whats the clocks and the speed on it? In any case, 512 MB set aside for the OS, another 256 for open process leaving u 1.25 GB ram to run CoD. When i run it with my 12GB RAM the game maxes out at 2.87GB of memory used.

I call shenanigans on that post. Its also buffling why would you have an I7 which would be limited by every other component on your system. Just does not make sense.

So if you care please post these things:
I7 core and what edition
What exactly is the RAM
Motherboard
The Vram on the GTS250.
Game Settings.

As for resolution on my system. The computer is forcing the TV to run at full 1080p HD. So the resolution is 1920x1080. However the TV supports also 1920x1200. Furthermore I already posted the resources that the Game uses. The system is not maxed out and there is plenty of headroom with resources that could be used. And even at the lowest settings the stutters are not resolved.

I remain certain that its not me pushing the game or the system, its the memory leak occurring from RAM.

If you are 'somebody we know' I suggest the moderators work out a way of preventing new registrations by reference to banned email address, IP or plain ol' smell.

How you mean if i am truly new to these forums? Like i said i registered today to complain about the sim not working how it should do. So therefore i have the right to complain

Does seem strange I agree. My i7 is one of the 1st I think so not one with a fancy name. The GTS250 wasn't that old at the time I believe and seemed good value.

I seem to remember the memory was DDR3 but not sure what difference it makes.

I'm at work now but will post my settings later.

I do think it's just down to me running it on 1280 something resolution. With medium settings and no grass/shadows etc. it looks OK to me and I can still enjoy it.

I do plan on upgrading my card, memory and OS after the patch though.

If i run such low res on my TV it just look plain awufull. Even on the 1600 hundreds res there are lots of squares which i hate.

I would think that if you are running an I7 core then you most likely have DDR3 RAM since the Motherboards for I7 typically only support DDR3 RAM. The difference is quite large between DDR2 and DDR3 mainly that DDR2 has 8.5 GB per second bandwidth and DDR3 is 12.8. What that means is faster read/write speeds meaning less time for the processor to get its data.

In any case 2GB of any RAM is limiting the I7 core. The GTS250 were great cards when they got released but you know with time they aged and now are old. Just surprised you are able to run CoD with it.

Your resolution is probably what is saving you from horrible performance, but still if you are getting CTD like me its pointing to RAM memory leak. What i mean by that is this: the Game has a flaw in memory code so that it writes wrong data to RAM or uses a lot of resources, eventually saturating available RAM and creating a dump.

The I7 you have has potential, although i dont know what generation it is. But pretty much all of them are good. If you could get 6GB RAM in your system and a better card Like a GTX480 or an ATI 5970 (bear in mind these are old now, 2 generations old) your system would fly.
