E6850, 4G RAM, GTX 280. Everything on high at 1680 x 1050, I just resized them because photoshop does a much better job at it than the forum.
Framerate??
Really depends on the mission. In free flight, single combat, or the quick missions with only a few targets anywhere from 50-90
Career missions with lots of stuff at the front I ended up lowering my settings to what you see in the last set of screens and get 30-45 over the front.
I had a problem with the onboard sound on my motherboard (Asus P5K with SoundMax chip) that was causing the FPS to drop into single digits but plugging in my USB headset to use a different sound driver fixed that. Unfortunately the drivers for my OB sound are up to date and haven't been updated in over a year so no quick fix there.
