Hi M8
I have the same card I think! HD3850 AGP 512?
I also get poor frames in il2 but even worse my frames jump from 50-60fps to 4fps every time it gets a bit busy! When I say a bit busy i meas 6-7 planes flying about. I originally thought it was my PSU so I bought a new corsair TX750. Still the same issue! Tried all different drivers and cleaned the drivers and reg as best possible. Tried all drivers available including driver that was just released on 26/08 this was even worse! Had issues installing driver and when forced it to install I got psychedelic colors. All chipset drivers are up-to-date MSI Neo2 plat ed. Only thing I've not tried is changing my bios. Even this was only updated 3-4 months ago. Currently using my old card until a driver is released that actually works or I'll send this card back claiming it's faulty. It's not though I've played BF2 with max settings 1280x1024 getting between 98-100fps.
also if I use the ATI traytool and try to underclock the card I get a BSOD claiming there's a prob with one of the ATI files. (happens with all drivers)
If I have any brake through i'll let you know.
This all looks to me like crap drivers or drivers not designed to play older games.
Mike
