I had ATI and NVIDIA cards during the almost 10 years of IL2 lifespan, and it runs fine in both brands...

As any other PC game in modern VGAs... Pointless discussion! Today, IL-2 will runs better in better ATI card if you compare with a weak NVIDIA card, and will runs better in one better NVIDIA card if you have an old ATI card, as any game out there...

But even today, with x64 OS, lots of RAM, faster HDs, multicore processors, +1GB VGAs, people still disabling Vsync in "ATI cards" to prevent "ATI stutters"... Really strange logic!!!

I can run Il-2 1946 using an ATI HD4850 with just 512MB, with Vsync, AAX8, AFX16, 1680X1050, etc, without any stutter, just using a good amount of ram and a fast processor... Amd the "water" is the same as an NVIDIA card...

The big bottleneck in IL-2, as in ANY good flight sim, is the CPU. Any decent and strong VGA can run IL-2 really OK, and probably will run BoB...
