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.
