IL-2 uses a rather old and dated version of OpenGL and was optimized to NV in this case. This hampers the AMD users with lower FPS etc. Now both brands support OpenGL 4.1 in their drivers and features. Furthermore AMD cards fully support the features that were new at yearly years of IL-2, like Shader 3.0 etc. So there should be no restriction to allow AMD cards to use the Shader 3.0 feats at all anymore.
So the question is could TD check this and see if the OpenG/shader stuff can be upgraded to a more recent version? This would help ALL players with better performance. Sure not an item of most importance, but for sure havíng quite an impact on the game and how it runs.
So how about it TD? A possibility in future to look into this? I do not plan to change my GPU for one game when all others run perfectly fine |
Sorry to interject on this but ..............
To understand the OGL shader part of IL2 you need to be able to program in OGL and make new reworked water renders for the shaders to work and asking TD to do this is a probably beyond them as the
il2core.dll will need to be reworked also and this file is a nightmare inside
ATI should be the ones to ask for optimizing the driver.
