Logic:
1. I don't need to use any work arounds or beta release drivers to run IL-2.
2. Your 'fix' for FSX does not solve the problem.
3. No other games really matter to me in the next year or so.

But hey, this is me. If it wasn't for the FSX problem I'd have a 5850 now and I'd get by using the ATI driver kludge for IL-2. And I imagine that this is where ATI will leave all IL-2 users: you got your work around so don't complain.

Are ATI developing something or not to fix text corruption,I have 300€ for buy a new video card

One highly placed source at ATI says yes, support folks say no.

S!

It is true. Dataa of symptoms, how to reproduce them etc. was given via proper channels and ATI did respond. This is a fact. So we have to wait and see what they find out.

What does it matter? You should be keeping that 300Euro for SoW ;)

Im going to build a new PC,when the Farmi's release

I hope you check Bencmarks from games before you do, and than think if its worth the extra money compaired to a HD5870... so far from the Game benches ive seen its not worth the money at all.
That it scores really great in a Benchmark like Unique Heaven DX11 doesnt mean a thing for gaming performance, there are no games yet (non in development also) using that technology.

If the Prices and Game Benchmarks are true i wouldnt be suprised if 2011 starts with out nVidia, dont think anyone would want to pay twice as much compaired to a HD5870 for less than 5% gain, in some games it seems the HD5870 is even faster then the GTX 480.

And for 3D or PhysX alone... AMD/ATI is working on 3D drivers, and there about to release there Physics engine.

But we just have to wait till some more Benches show up that are reliable from difrent games, and what the real price is on the Fermi.

Decieded not to post anymore in this thread but couldn't ressist,
Very intresting stuff here to read betwee lines:

IL-2/SoW wise looks to be still NV's but a lot of money to spend.
It may be that 2 ATI cards can out deliver what 1 NV card does with better efficiency and better performance to $ ratio.

My money is still waiting for ATI improved drivers and NV 4x0 power consumption and heat...

gprr

S!

My uneducated and non-IT pro guess is that ATI/AMD have to pull their act together with driver support and I am sure they will. They have no other option as Fermi is coming. ATI's strong point has been and will be comparable performance with less price and less power usage, nVidia has been good with drivers in general except this last blooper of frying cards. Their hardware is fast as well. Either brand card you take I am sure you get a ton of speed to ANY game you play :) So matter of preference really, no need to be a fanboi there. I will get another 5870HD or the new 2Gb 5970 :D

Flanker,do chek space in your rig for long card as 5970.
If I refund my 5850 with ATI make, 2 5870 would be my choice-better performanc with no need to overclok that 5970 which has own probs due to pcb design(http://www.anandtech.com/weblog/showpost.aspx?i=657)
