New set of graphics dlls from February 15th, 2008.

On my x1950PRO PCI-E looks everything OK. I tested it using standart settings for Radeon X800 etc in IL2 setup. with changed conf.ini for 1440*900 LCD.

On XP64 Catalyst 7.11 everything OK
On Vista x64, Catalyst 8.2 great improvement. I had many stutters and land textures corrupts in game. Now it is OK.

I am using Catalyst defaults with AA 2 AF 4 on XP.
On Vista I have the same but also I must enable Vertical synchronization and tripple buffering to eliminate remaining little stutters.

I am using OpenGL and perfect mode.

You might want to try 7.11 in vista as well, I have an X1950Xt and frames are almost cut in half with any of the 8.x drivers.

NO problems so far. Everything looks good!! Got a ATI X1800XL Crossfire capable card here.

I tried all ATI vista drivers from 7.9 to 8.2. But I did not see any difference in it as for the IL2.

On XP the situation is different. The last good working ATI driver is 7.11. In all 8.X I have about 1/3 lower FPS. Really I cannot understand this dramatic decreasing.

It is interesting that when I compare performance vista drivers to XP 8.X drivers I am obtaining identical results.

Hmm, I'll have to test myself. I thought sure that other vista users reported the same frame drop as xp on ubi but maybe not. I'll test myself.

From my experience IL2 sure does like vert sync and triple buffering. I been flying it since 2001 and have bounced back and forth between ATI and Nvidia numerous times and the results are the same. I do prefer vertical sync on with all PC games as I prefer quality and have no need for FPS above 60.

S!
