True and false. True in that IL2 does seem to work a bit better with Nvidia based cards. False in that ATI is more "cpu intensive" or anything like that than Nvidia. The performance gap between those two closed pretty decisively with the previous generation 6xxx/5xx, and seems to be holding true for the newest. Up until my current PC, I had owned only Nvidia cards in every single previous machine. IL2 works fine on my ATi 6970's, as long as crossfire is turned off.
