Are there any fast but quiet Nvidia cards out there?

S!

Qpassa, if your 5870HD works with IL-2 without a glitch, please post your conf.ini (opengl section) and driver version + CCC settings on the ATI thread? The latest Preview 10.4a did not fix any of the issues yet, blue hue and blocky text in Perfect mode.

Hi Alpha, only just had a chance to check out specs, and found this link:

http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...ance/page3.asp

Noise levels in excess of 53 decibels and runs hot

Currently I'll have to fight through th graphic issues with the 4890 in IL2, as everything else is great. Thanks for the link though....cheers, MP

LOL

Ok you asked for advice, I gave it, you then point to a review which isn't anything to do with the hardware I have specified for you.

What's the point of this thread ??

I have no problems running IL21946 with a MSI N480GTX-M2D15

No excessive noise and no hot temps.

If you want to shove top end performance hardware into poorly constructed cheap cases with cheap PSU's the noise and temps could be a problem.

Otherwise buy a 9800GTX+

With settings at max & water 4 between that and a ATI 48xx series maxed out water2, it pee's all over them in IL21946. (IMHO)

Soz if I sound grumpy but ...............
