I got my new 5750 card installed. booted up Pacific Fighters and everything looks the same.

any ideas?

Well, your old card may-have been able to run Il-2 maxed, so the only difference would be in fps...

The old card was an ATI Radeon HD 4200, philip.ed. I don't think that would have run at max.

Have you run il2setup.exe again since you installed the new card, Aeron? This will enable you to change settings. For help with this see here: http://mission4today.com/index.php?n...p=show&kid=228

Don't forget to remove the old drivers and dll's first before changing cards..even when it's the same brand.

I have found that graphics card updates show little difference in Il2 where as a CPU update makes a big difference.

I didnt uninstall and reinstall game yet.
And as far as uninstalling old graphics card drivers. I didnt have to take out my old card. It there was no card in the slot or anywhere on mother board for that matter that I could find.
This made me think that I didnt have any previous drivers that I needed to uninstall.

and yes I had a hd 4200 and it came stock

If you think I should uninstall the drivers for my new graphics card and try and uninstall any other drivers, would you let me know kindda where to go to do that.

True but his cpu is a new AMD quad and his last card was a bottom feeder 4200, upgraded to a 5750 was huge. Aaron, after you have done what AndyJWest linked make sure your settings in game are set to perfect. The last thing to do is open your user conf file found in the IL2 1946 folder. Scroll all the way down and find the setting under openGL for water. Replace the setting from 1 to 2 and save. After that enjoy the graphics and happy hunting, just watch your six!

Did you disable the built in gfx card?

I dont think I did. If I remember right , I just added the new card in and pulled up the new drivers and started downloading.

Is your video cable plugged into the new card ?(ie did you unplug it from the motherboard)
If not you're still using the onboard graphics.
