hi just recently built a new machine and im having some small performance issues with il2

my specs are and intel core 2 duo e8400 3.0 GHz, asus p5ql pro motherboard, 250 gb HD, 3 GB of ram,geforce 9600 gt

my problom is just im not getting the smooth gameplay that i think i should be getting my avg fps are 59 to 60 and some of squad mates have the exact processor i do and get up to 80 to 100 fps witch i dont understand why my machine cant reach that when the cpu is the same model.

and also the gameplay is just jerky espicially when im looking around with the camera

could anyone possibly help me out with this issue

Welcome here!

Sounds like you have 'Vertical Sync' switched on in your Nvdia Control panel.
It limits the frame rate to the monitor's Refresh Rate, which is probably 60.
(Without this setting you will get tearing when using TrackIR.)

Game is smooth when fps is at 59 to 60, mine is. No need to get it up higher. Those high numbers can be good to know and measure if you are after optimizing the system to its limits, and beyond.

Elaborate a bit on 's just jerky espicially when im looking around with the camera', what is it that you are looking at, and what are the frame rates doing at those moments?

Check your Nvidia Control Panel settings, maybe you need to decrase the amount of AntiAliasing, as your Video card may not be able to handle the current settings.

That's just guessing though, as you've provide too little information to really help you.
Post a DxDiag Report, and the contents of the file called 'conf.ini'.
Also, what are the other NVidia Control panel settings you've assigned?

well when im looking around with the camera its usually when i look at say a bunch of objects or alot of AAA stuff like that or a really big city it doesnt always get laggy but sometimes its just a bit annoying

and in my control pannel basic stuff is AF 8x AA 4x
threaded optimization off vertical sync off

Hm, yeah, that's 'normal', as in... just about everybody running Landscape Detail at Perfect suffers from that.

Values of conf.ini look good to me...

yea what should threaded optmization be set to

Off

wat about vertical sync

If you are using TrackIR, switch it on.
If not, Off.

Hi BS8th_austin16,

I'd be interested in how much fps improvement you get from your tweaked settings. I've been having the same problem. Check out this thread:

It sounds like you may be having similar issues to mine.

Good luck
