I know this has been talked about in the past but does anyone have a more to date setting for the Nvidia tool and the config.ini? I have done a search but the topics seem dated. I'm using a GE Force GT 710.

Thank you.

how do you rate this gt 710 with the Sim? I have to update my integrated card and I'm interested to know if this card is suitable for good performance. Thank you for your answer

[SAS~Bombsaway]

I like it well enough. It works well with the game but it is an older card that I bought off the internet. I bought it because it has an HDMI out on it so I could hook it up to my tv.

[Paulo Hirth]

  Another hint in nvidia driver settings: disable anisotropic filter (more FPS) and set anti-alyasing to 8X.

[SAS~Storebror]

The x10 series from Nvidia is the absolute basic GPU series, it's the weakest one you can buy.
Anti Aliasing is absolutely out of reach for such kind of card. Disable it completely.
Anisotropic filtering, in contrast to what Paulo Hirth said, is by far not as heavy on the GPU hardware and disabling it will cause horrible steps between different render detail steps. Set AF as high as your card can handle it, 16x would be perfect, 8x would be fine as well, 4x acceptable, anything lower will look butt-ugly.

Cheers!
Mike

which nvidia card to be included in a PC with 300 W psu? What do you think about the gt1030?

[SAS~Storebror]

The 1030 is still crap.
For comparison: With my GTX 970 I can run IL-2 1946 maxed out, as well as Battle of Stalingrad, but not quite Cliffs of Dover.
With a GTX 750 you can run IL-2 1946 maxed out, but might have to back off on Anti Aliasing settings in Nvidia Control Panel a bit. Battle of Stalingrad will run with medium settings, Cliffs of Dover... no idea. Probably just basic settings.
A GT 740 can barely run IL-2 1946 in perfect settings, but only if you disable all kind of Anti Aliasing and stuff. Battle of Stalingrad, Cliffs of Dover etc. in Fullscreen mode with reasonable quality: Forget it.

So that's the x70->x50->x40 line. Anything below that: No deal.

When you are talking about a 300W PSU, then I take it that the PSU has no 6/8 pin PCI-E connector to give additional power to the graphics card.
That's a quite common issue on smaller PCs.
The solutions is: Get an Nvidia GTX 1050Ti. It's the biggest bang you can get without additional PCI-E connectors, powered solely through the PCI-E slot, with a max. power consumption of 75 Watts.

To numerize it (Passmark values): GTX970=8575, GTX750=3284, GT740=1575. GT1030 would be 2285, GTX1050Ti is 5815. So the 1030 would be below FullScreen "good" threshold, the GTX 1050Ti is right in the middle between the "perfect" 970 and the "still good" 750.

Cheers!
Mike

[startrek66]

I thought that a graphics card of 2017 like the gt1030 could run well on il2 1946. I was wrong.
But if you do not want to use the maximum of details in perfect how many fps can you give this card ?

[SAS~Storebror]

That question is impossible to answer.
For one, I can run BoS @60 FPS (and therefore, 1946 of course too) on an old Intel HD2000 CPU-integrated graphics solution - it all depends on the settings which, in this case, are 640x480 windowed mode, no anti aliasing, no anisotropic filtering, lowest texture quality, no shadows, no shaders.
That's the requested 60 FPS - it "just" looks like an old Super NES game console.
On the other hand, the 1030 is optimized for hardware decoding of FullHD video Streams. It's by no means meant to be a graphics card suitable for gaming. The market share, even among Nvidia Cards, is in the low single percentage. You will hardly find anyone with IL-2 1946 using that card on this planet.

thanks for the clarifications. I now have the following configuration: I5-2400 4gb ram and an integrated card intel hd 2000. the PSU is 320W and I do not want to change it for now as all the pc is under warranty. My goal is to improve the appearance of the game and reach 50 or 60 fps stable. Now I have 40 fps of average. What do you recommend, maybe an older Nvidia card that does not need an external power supply.
