Unfortunately rthe new card an XFX radeon HD6970 3gb causes just as much stutters when grass is turned on, as my old 5870 1gb card
the thing is when I turn all settings to the lowest and even run 1280x720, if i have grass checked at that setting it still causes stutter. unchecking grass gives me a very smooth gameplay though.
The silliest thing is that I never really see grass when flying, only when on ground and crashing lol, but it has really made me nuts and i want to know what else coudl be the problem?
I've seen youtube videos where people seem to fly just fine on 6970's so there must be something else?
I tried to change the affinity in task manager just to see if COD doesn't like all 12 virtual cpu's, I also set Launcher.exe to high priority but no changes at all.
I've also tried changing the catalyst settings with no luc so I'm clueless.
Luckily I can return the card (otherwise I wouldnt have tried hehe) but surelly my specs should be able to run stutter free with grass no?
I know Il2 is buggy, but since i saw so many videos with smooth gameplay I thought the graphicscard was the issue here.
Thanks!

Hey man I just bought the msi lightning xtreme 580 3gb and I have stutters really low due to the grass as well. I can have everything maxed except for buildings set at high and grass off and I get around 40 fps over london and 60 anywhere else. This just shows that Oleg still needs to work on their engine. You are right though there is no reason to be rendering grass until the game is a hundred feet or less from the ground. You can't see the grass until you are about to land.
