sax man based on the performance you posted before it looks like you are one of those who need to upgrade your rig. and yet you want better graphics that your puter can't handle

And yet Aces High is the only game I have these problems on, while I had no trouble at all with WT or CLoD at very high graphics settings. Not to mention non-flight games like Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite. That tells me there's an issue particular to AH.

I don't know about Saxman, but WoT runs great on my 7-year-old rig (upgraded).

I agree... up to a certain point. It's like nationalism... A little is good, too much is very bad.

Ok... I can see we have a communication problem here. What did you not understand?

If you must know, I'm running:

Win7 64-bit Ultimate
AMD II Phenom X4 940 (3.0GHz)
4GB RAM (Corsair, XMS2-8500 1066MHz, 5-5-5-15)
nVidia GeForce GTX 295
DirectX 11
Hitachi 1TB drive (7200RPM, 16MB cache)

Nothing is overclocked because the GTX has crap for cooling and I'd rather like to not cook my system.

Saying that you don't like a flight sim because of the graphics is like saying you didn't like the play because the props looked fake.

Indeed ... I don't like movies where the props look fake, unless it is a comedy.

The correlation between liking a game an nationalism (and your propensity for thinking
you taking 'logic' to extremes is my failure to understand what you are communicating).

My meaning was being a fan and supporting a company to which you are a customer is good in small doses. However, if exaggerated it is detrimental to you as a customer.

Nothing is overclocked because the GTX has crap for cooling and I'd rather like to not cook my system.

I have a 2500k cpu
16 gigs of ram
sli evga 465
directx 1 thru 20
hitachi 1tb drive 32 mb cache
wd hd 750 gb with 32 mb cache with a corner broken when I dropped it.
2 pretty blue lights, 1 on top of the case 1 on the bottom.
1 easy chair with a side beer holder.
1 trash can on the side of my desk with dual plastic bags with handles.

I can play aces high with full frames  at max settings with shadows at 4096 on 3 monitors.  I cant play wot at medium settings on 3 monitors at full frames and if zoomed in I get like 5 fps.  so i stick to 1 monitor and medium settings.

and by the way, did you notice the problems with that cpu and aces high that has nothing to do with aces high?  many threads have been posted over  the years.

I know... I was just trying to bring the point closer to the realm of video games.

I think your cpu is the bottleneck in your system. Avoid any post-processing and you'll see a marked improvement in performance. I run a quad-core 2.4GHz Core2 overclocked to 3.4GHz, and it is beginning to be a bottleneck in my rig.

I run my 2500k at 4.9 and I have no problem with aces high at all.
