Nvidia GTX580 users - please help!

[Borsch]

Hello,

I have just bought gtx580 (it was a very good deal with warranty) and I am having some problems with Il2:Clod, but I'm not sure if its the game or the card at fault here.

My IL2:Clod is patched to the latest beta+fix, all settings on max, SSAO on.

The thing that worries me is that textures sometimes take a while to load. For example, in Black Death track, when the broken Hurri with one wing spins on the ground, the grass textures take a second or so to load fully, same with Belnheim that is on the gorund - the ground/grass textures and its wheel textures once again load in visible stages.

Is this normal, or should I return my card for a replacement? (while I'm still in the 14 day period, returning with " such issues" under warranty will be much harder).

Thanks in advance and S!
