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!

Afterburner graph pic - VRAM stays at around 1200Mb, so its not overloaded and should not lead to texture loading lag

I run the specs below: its just crappy programming/coding/engine, not your gpu.
