Cheltster Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Does anyone have any experience of quadro and/or gtx? Been doing some research into graphics cards and from what I've read the quadro is optimized for open GL for use on drawing programs like Cad. Just wondered if anyone had noticed if there was a positive or negative effect in CM? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Tamson Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Combat Mission is CPU limited. Over the years I have played it on GTX 580, GTX 680, GTX 980 and now GTX 1080. There has been no positive improvement in frame rate across all those GPUs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can buy pretty much any old card and I'm laughing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After certain point no matter what you throw at it the frame rate doesn't move an inch(frame?). Law of diminishing returns gets pretty rough after card like 1050ti.

If I downclock the CPU, the frame rate will drop. I cannot run my CPU higher than 4.7Ghz so I have never been able to "throw anything more at it", however I imagine I would see a bit of an improvement @5Ghz. But what won't improve it is very powerful GPUs, which was the OP's question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced the Quadro with an old GTX570, which was quite an improvement. Can‘t remember the details, but somehow the CAD-cards are missing a hardware component, that game cards have. Or something like that... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheltster Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Well I bought an old gtx 560ti so hopefully that should be sufficient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don‘t try to play the CMFB „falling snow“ scenarios or any real large scenario and you should be fine. In case of the large scenarios: Set all graphics requirements to minimum and it still should work somehow. Not nice, but playable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithCrook Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 So if you were starting from scratch and getting a new PC to play Combat Mission games, what are the specs and card you would suggest? I'd like my game to look like the lovely screenshots I see people posting. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nik mond Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Fwiw I upgraded from a GT260 to GTX750 on my 1st Gen i7 a few years back and noticed a massive improvement in CM gaming. I was able to Max out settings for once. But that is going from a low end card. I now have night blade with gtx 1080 8gb and of course CM plays like dream because of the processing speed alone. I suppose if it's a 4km map of just buildings you would still get a lag at ground level but that still happens in the shooters I play that are maximized. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
