JMax Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Now that it's 2026,and I have my pre-order in,and seeing the great looking IL2:Korea reveals..... I am already having trouble with the waiting part. Really looking forward to it. 1 4 Quote
Dash,Polder Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Pretty sure they're running their holidays for a bit yet, should see a New Years update soon. Orthodox Christmas was Jan 7th so pretty good bet they take the rest of this week off. 1 Quote

Also some great guys are trying to do WW1 on the Odessa map, and that's extraordinary also, i think. 1 1 1 Quote

Would a system with a 9800X3D and a 5080 GPU be able to run VR with maxed settings? 1 Quote
Woody Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) It's hard to say, but your system should have no problem as long as you have 32GB of ram. I expect my PC to run fine in VR, as I also have a 9800X3D, 7900XTX and 64GB of ram. It would help if they clarified this. Edited January 12 by Woody 1 1 Quote

Each game is different so we need to wait for release, but this data already shows that you should not have trouble. You have the most powerful gaming CPU. And your GPU is in the top 3 at the moment. 😃 Yep, you can't go wrong! The only example of the game running with an exact GPU name has been Igromir where they presented the game in VR with 4080s and 4090s and it ran butter smooth. Even with tons of planes on screen. The only thing I can think of that might cause you to turn one or two settings down is VRAM on your 5080, but I don't think that will be the case. Maybe if you use an exotic VR headset with really high resolution. 2 Quote

I don't think that you can run GB with maxed settings in VR with that hardware, and given that the Korea engine is more demanding, I wouldn't expect maxed settings. But it should definitely be possible to get decent results. Quote
YoYo Posted January 12 Posted January 12 It would be great, and it would also be good advertising, if a demo were released. Even with just one unarmed plane. Something like it is in DCS. Quote

But it should definitely be possible to get decent results. Hey Appje, I think you can. I certainly did on my various setups. The most important thing might be the resolution and VR headset. WIth Quest 3 on my other setups I had used GB with MSAA x4 no issues. All else, same as monitor. Same Super Sampling as in other sims and here with no upscaling. Managed to do that with 7800 X3D + 5080 / 9800 X3D + 5080 / 285K + 5080. Still remember that it ran smooth with 90hz in most cases. Can't recall any exact situation but that was the norm with these three setups with a 5080. PS: Vram didn't cross the 11Gb mark. Also dependant on the assets in the map / Map rendering scene. Maybe if you are using exotic headset such as Crystal Super with high res or something...

dryheat94 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I'm still baffled by the exclusion of DLAA and DLSS in Korea. It would allow us to actually use our Nvidia cards to their full potential. The newest release shows great promise over previous releases. A sorely missed feature of the upcoming title for modern PC's. Quote

It's hard to say if it'll work at maximum settings, but I'm sure there's a compromise, so I wouldn't stress about it. I have a 5090, and I can't max out everything in IL-2 or DCS for VR, if you want to have maximum frame rate (I fly without ASW). However, the compromise is so good that I certainly have no complaints about the graphics (especially since I use upscaling). 3 minutes ago, dryheat94 said: DLSS in Korea especially DLSS 4.5 with reduced ghosting on M profile (one of the most important things for combat sim). 1 Quote

I think that's the most important factor. In Igromir the game was shown with a 4090 and 4080 and everything was smooth at first glance. That's the only thing that it's out there so far. I also bet a 5080 won't have any troubles. And if it has, it will be easy to solve with one or two settings. Unless you go crazy. I've seen some people in YouTube trying to do VR in Il-2 with a 980ti using MSAAx4 on a G2 with SS 150 and complaining the game is runing slow. Quote

I really hope this is enough to max out settings. I'm not ready to sell a kidney and burn out the circuits in my house for a 5090 lol I hope that optimization will be a big priority for the devs as a large percentage of the player base probably has some aging equipment and hardware prices are out of control for the foreseeable future. 1 Quote

Still, this is something that can be remedied later on. @Travel 64 GB should be plenty. 1 Quote
Mainstay Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I’m not a fan of the Korea era it’s something new and different. So I changed my mind and decided to support you guys since we are part of a niche community / market. So Founder’s Edition bought! Keep up the good work 3 Quote

This question should be answered by the team 🙂 But I bet anything from the last 4 to 5 years is going to be working good. Multithreading should improve CPU performance. I expect the X3D again to be excellent. Kind regards, Quote
