Looks like Cliffs of Dover has gotten a really nice patch, with totally reworked sounds and graphics/lighting engine.

Been too busy to give it a whirl yet, but certainly looking forward to it.

How are you guys finding it now? From what I've been reading on the steam forums it's not even worth getting right now.

Bumping because Justflight and getgamesgo are selling CLOD at a massive discount of 75% till tuesday, comes to £8.75 / €12.49 / $12.49 now which is a bargain.

Game has improved alot since release and the next patch is supposed to have a complete engine overhaul which should improve FPS by quite a bit.
You still need a good pc, and especially graphicscard, to play big battles though.

What would be a recommended minimum gpx card to any playability?

Quote from anttt69 :

What would be a recommended minimum gpx card to any playability?

I recommend the most expensive card on the market. If only I was joking! Unless the last patch made HUGE optimisations. My card was decent for when the game was released and way above the minimum requirements and I still found it unplayable.

That's a hard one...some guys seem to get OK performance with lower spec systems while others complain with pretty high end ones.

As a minimum I'd say :
Windows 7 64bit , the game really hates 32-bit OS's and directX9 with a passion
3GHZ or more dualcore
Nvidia GTX 460 / ATI 5750 with a gig or more of VRAM
4Gb RAM

Recommended is more like :
Win 7 64bit (can't stress this enough)
quadcore of the last generation
560ti(or even 570) / ATI 6950 with 2GB VRAM
8Gb RAM

This is a game that's heavy on your pc, much like the original il2 was in 2001 or games like operation flashpoint /ARMA were on release.
But as long as you don't expect to run it maxxed out on an insane resolution those specs should do fine.

Isn't the 460 in a different league than the 5750?

I guess..as true minimum I know there are people playing it with Nvidia 260 and 280 cards and others with 4850 or 4870 ..but they are sacrificing alot and hurt for FPS when attacking bombers or turning on grass.
For some reason pre 5XXX ATI cards seem to suck with CLOD, they were listed as supported at release but by now steam changed the list and left them out.

SUPPORTED VIDEO CARDS AT TIME OF RELEASE:
ATI®: 5830/5850/5770/5870/6870/6950/6970
NVidia®: 250/260/275/285/460/465/470/480

As the question was "minimum for playability" I listed what imho is the minimum to get decent playability..not minimum to run the game.
A 5850 or 5770 might be a better call for minimum ATI card to play properly and be more comparable to a GTX 460?
