Ati 4850

[Zoom2136]

Wow did not realized that this would start a NVIDIA vs ATI debate but well...

I used to have an ATI850XT prior to buying a pair of BGF 7900GTX OC cards (on sale BTW). Like most I saw a reduction in picture quality when going to NVIDIA. I now have flicquering that I did not have before. Could be an SLI thing, I'm just not that familiar with NVIDIA's cards. My previous ATI card had no problem running iL2 under open GL and gave a great image (no flickering costline/runways/invisable roads)... Also spotting planes was a lot easier... we all know how this is important LOL

I was thinking of going back to a single 4870 for now and buying a second in the future. So going with a single card could eliminate a lot of the SLI (or Crossfire) related stuff...

I know that this sim is VERY CPU intensive. Hell an OC of 0.2 will give you about 10% more FPS... So to all of you out there overclock those #$%?&*. Mine is overclock up to wasooo as it only have to live for about 6-8 months (new Intel chips are coming with the X58 platform).

So what is it GOOD with iL2 or NOT... its the ONLY game that I play.
