Get the CPU overclocked MD 
Even without OC the CPU, your minimum is pretty bad.
Also put AF at application preference.

DanC, what resolution and AA + Adaptive AA is that at ? needs to be taken from fraps hit F11 5 seconds and again at 2 min 5 seconds. in the fraps folder will be a frapslog.txt, this will have the info laid out as the above 2 lines.
Sorry if this was already known, one can’t assume too much
Ok just done a test on my system here.

Do i need the latest ATI Catalyst Majik?
Techy
Just run what you have if its giving no probs, the drivers are mature for X19 series so theres nothing to be gained performance wise.
But I will repeat AF should be App Pref
Totally agree I run AF app pref in Catalyst and Aniso in IL2Setup.exe
Do i need the latest ATI Catalyst Majik?
Step away from the keyboard. Do not touch anything. :rolleyes:
:roflmao:
So, do you run the track twice to allow for slowdowns due to loading?
Yes Mikke thats what i did
What does this button do ??? :anpaper: reads manual 
Techy
Technically I suppose you should do Mikke, but TBH I never bother.
My results are here

and
1 gig of Geil Ultra @1:1 with tight(ish) timings
I normally run with 4xAA and Vsync on. Rarely drops below 30 in normal circumstances.
Some photo’s mainly for Majik’s benefit, cos he asked for photos once.
All that water in close proximity to the mains just scares the sh*t out of me.
Is that Solyent Green you’re pumping round your system?
Had to google soylent probably only you and Jonathon Ross know what it is…and maybe Ming
This system is water tight and nice and cool. CPU idles at 36 and around 40 at load. Graphics card has never been over 45 and with a silent PSU and 1x80 1x120 7volt modded fans is pretty quiet these days
Maybe lol no maybe about it mate, from the golden age (Dark Star, er, Barbarella?) of SF movies, Chuck Heston as lunch
There are other fluids than possibly-conductive water though and if I went for water-cooling it wouldn’t be with water. Do I make myself clear

You’re not the only smart bastage in the world. I don’t know anyone who would use tap water as a cooling solution. Keywords: Egg sucking Grannies
Lets call it liquid cooled. Lots of non conductive liquid out there these days.
I use F1 from Smoothy Wagons, which comes pre mixed with anti corrosive and UV dye.
On older versions of IL2 combined with low end systems it makes a difference.
Note the qualifications - older version and low end system - it hasn’t made a vast difference on my current set-up.

Looks like a Spit
Be careful if you got hit on glicol tank… :eek:
Ave/Max/Min
48/104/16 with AFx4
51/102/17 with AF set to App controlled
All else = 4xAA, Vsync off, sys perf = quality in Gfx Card Settings Panel
System:
A8N E with A64 x2 4600
2GB Corsair RAM
7800GTX with 256MB
Running at 1280x1024, water=1, forest=2, 3dgunners=1
I usually run with AFx4 so I’m intrigued as to why AF to app control is recomended?
