open the IL2setup.exe and try choosing the ATI x9xxx settings if that doesn't work try down loading the 4.09 dll files and try those

also make sure your not running the CCC with the Advanced AI settings on too.

Surprising, since it's talked about in close to every thread on this board. :rolleyes:

Anyway, it's 1C's next big flight sim. It will be out in two weeks, so go wait in line now.

When you get it, please make sure you compare how it runs with your Nvidea 8800GT in comparison to an ATI 9600. I want to make sure that nVidea remains the best ever.

You don't have time to answer the advice people gave you in your own thread but you can dig up a post from 5 pages back on this one and make odd, if not asinine comments like this?

also make sure your not running force Z24bit in the open GL settings.

If this was the first post like that from BAXTER STOCKMAN, I'd possibly agree with you. The way things are, I got to say that Crash is right and your complain isn't a bit better than what you complain about.

Wasn't aware BAXTER had a history, in that case, my bad.

mmm It looks like the same resolution as my monitor lol.

Back to the topic...

I'm new owner of this card and here is my setup:
CPU - Intel E6300@2.8
MB - Asus P5Q-E
RAM - 2x2GB Geil800CL5 BlackDragon
PSU - Corsair750W
VGA - MSI ATI HD4850
OS - Win Vista 64 bit
Drivers - ATI Catalyst 8.6 Hotfixed

PF settings - Perfect, Water2, Landgeometry3, Efects2, 1280x1024, 4xAA, 4xAF - Kamikaze02 track FPS Avg45, Max167, Min10
PF settings - Perfect, Water2, Landgeometry3, Efects2, 1280x1024, 8xAA, 8xAF - Kamikaze02 track FPS Avg41, Max153, Min9
PF settings - Perfect, Water2, Landgeometry3, Efects2, 1280x1024, 8xAA, 8xAF - TheBlackDeath track FPS Avg44, Max94, Min13

It seems, that this flight sim is quite CPU dependent..
When I was on stock CPU freq. (1.8GHz), FPS results in Kamikaze02 track were: Avg31, Max118, Min6

When I fly online (on UK3 Dedicated server) FPS are at average about 60-90.

For this sim, even the current "midrange" cards (GTX260 and HD4850) provide great performance superior to anything previously available...including the 8800 series. You hit the nail on the head regarding this sim's CPU dependence and any improvement you can grab in that department through upgrades and/or overclocking will provide more performance than any GPU upgrade beyond the 8800 series.
