Default Radeon cards and IL2

Now, i'm sure that 4770 beats 8800GT on most fronts but for IL2, no tests. So, does any one have some experience with this card? In the past i used everything for IL2, from geforce to current radeon. I noticed no big differences. But still, i'd like to hear opinions, since IL2 had been the only game on my PC for past few years.

Thaks.
Zuti,
I have a Gigabyte Radeon HD4870x2 card switched to OpenGL. It certainly beats my old geforce 8800GT card on just about every front. I still get some 'colour flashing' from tracer fire and also problems with ground features on some of the later maps - this is a driver issue, which I hope Oleg will try to fix, if he has the time?
Generally the cards detail rendition is far superior and the frame rate very, very high.
I remember reading somewhere that Oleg did recommend geforce cards, though I think ATI are now producing much better cards that seem to handle IL2 graphics very well.
