How to get the best frame rate in IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad
The publisher's minimum for IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad is 4GB VRAM or better with Intel Core i5/i7 3+ GHz, and the recommended hardware is not stated. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a Radeon RX 470 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce RTX 2060 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
Strategy and simulation games lean on the processor, especially late in a game when there is a lot to calculate. A faster graphics card will not fix a slow late game, but a faster CPU and more RAM will.
