IL-2 Guide for Computers, Benchmarking, Optimizing, Tweaking

Good day, FANATIC MODDER

Your CPU seems to be the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.2 Ghz. Your card is the GTX 260 and should render OpenGL with Perfect Water, though you might need to sacrifice a little in other graphics characteristics. Make certain that you have the Second Generation PhysX activated.

PhysX capability should be enabled in your card according to the following information of this link:

Graphics driver choice can have a noticeable impact on the rendering of IL-2. I agree with 8thFS_Bulau that you need to consider using another driver. Installing a driver from the past which is too old for newer game Optimization might be the best for IL-2.

Try different drivers from about 2006 - 2008. Also, the GeForce 192.xxx - 196.xxx drivers have fixed the IL-2 issues for some people. Especially, try the 196.xxx driver. Scan the download driver for malware and test for corruption of files.

Make sure that your system is updated to the lastest DirectX 10.



Your CPU and GPU are capable of running IL-2 fairly well. That fact drew my attention to your motherboard.

Your MoBo seems to be an Asus, but I could not get enough information until now about it from your posts. Can you provide all the specifications on your motherboard? I need very detailed specifications-all of them. If it is the case that your motherboard is not high enough in performance for a GTX 260, then that would explain the under performing of your system.

The need for a good performing motherboard is stated in the details of the above link, near the end.

Sometimes a motherboard which allows a particular GPU to be connected will not quite be capable of allowing Optimization of the graphics card because of the limitations of the motherboard itself. In the case of a series of graphics cards, early ones in the series can be a perfect match with a motherboard. As the performance of the graphics card series increases, sometimes the early motherboard is outpaced by the card development.
In other situations, a graphics card will not be used to its fullest performance on an older motherboard, but is still an improvement over the customer's previous graphics card. Unfortunately, your graphics card is far under achieving.

Unproven at this time, it is possible that an earlier version of the GTX 260 would have done just fine on your motherboard, but yours might not be an ideal compatibility.
