Addman: what processor are you using? And yes, from Finland. Flying IL2 since 2002. And in real life gliders too...

From the technical point of view GTX 560 and HD6850 have not that much difference:

But thanks for all, you gave me a good perspective what to look for.
Hi! I have an Intel Core i3 2120 dual core CPU @ 3,3GHz and let me tell you, it's the best CPU I've had so far. I got it last week, before that I've been almost exclusively an AMD user, last CPU I had was a Phenom II 965BE x 4 core and that was better than my Athlon II 425 x 3 that I had before that but my new i3 is even better than the 965 though it's only a dual core. I run it together with an EVGA GeForce GTX 550ti (factory overclocked) and CloD runs fluently.

I had a Sapphire HD 6850 before and it's a good card but any 560 is better I think, here is a quick example http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...review-11.html

Since I've played CloD with both AMD and Nvidia cards/CPU's it seems that Nvidia gives better performance. My i3 together with the GTX 550 runs CloD better than my "old" Phenom II 965BE with a HD 6850 did. The 6850's can be found for cheap right now so if you need to save money I say go for the 6850 but if you want better performance and can afford it buy a GTX 560.

P.S I wouldn't look too much at hwcompare, it only shows numbers not real testing on different games.
