Hopefully SOW favors nvidia...

I just wish the people here would quit bashing the other brand of graphic-card then this they have installed.
Nobody gains anything from it, except some really meagre egos.
If all gets right SoW will run on both brands regarding to the power of the chip and not of the brand - name.
Atm afaik NV runs without problems but is more expensive for the same power
and Ati/AMD has had some driver glitches with some older games but is less expensive.

Remember the block text thing?

I'm not bashing Radeon because I have some emotional affection to NV(I still have two ATI in other systems and like them - there), but the sole fact those guys cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

For all I care this thread can die.

with 10.9 IL2 works OK, 5870 ATI RADEON

sure, and the next version potentially will f*** it up again. That's why I said they don't give a sh1t about us.

S!

Swiss, if IL-2 has worked with 10.8 and 10.9 I see no reason to bash ATI/AMD. If that driver set works why uograde to next one, if it works well on other titles you play as well That we even got the drivers to work in the first place is kind of a feature in itself as IL-2 is over 10 years old and not really one of the hottest releases around. Now with a working driver set why complain? NV has it's problems as well, just check some forums

Also remember IL-2 uses a jurassic version of OpenGL and from the start IL-2 was optimized to NV due various reason I won't go into here. Say IL-2 was coded in latest OGL I am sure there would be far less glitches. NV or ATI, both work and deliver performance that fill the needs of a gamer. Not everyone plays these damn shooters pouring in from doors and windows. For me ATI 5870HD and nVidia 480GTX have worked as advertised
