Here let me 'contribute' my real world, actually build systems for a living experience.

If you want to get the most out of IL2 and SoW - buy Nvidia

S!

Well, I repair/maintain/arm etc. military aircraft for a living. I really do not get your view of nVidia being the sole solution for gaming. Do you really think ATI would just sit and look? I doubt it. SoW will run on both card brands for sure, it is not a 10 year old code And Oleg's team for sure will test the new sim on BOTH cards to see how it works. Do you really think we will see that spinning "the way you have been shafted" logo in SoW? It was not there in IL-2 and I doubt in SoW either.

Again, I would not assume or state what Oleg and his team are going to do with SoW and graphics card support. No-one outside that team knows anything about this, so speculating is useless waste of forum space

Cool Flanker!
I might have made a few of the things you fit and work with than.
Worked for Thales here.
SMT part for PCB's for a whide range of things from Comsystems to Missiles with out going into more details on that.
But also Graphics cards for SGI and sensors for Oilrefineries etc.


This Game looks better and Runs Smoother om my AMD/ATI HD4570 Notebook than on my SLI Rig, sure i dunt get such a High FPS on it but the FPS is way more stable and everything looks beter on my Notebook, Thats a fact, no fanboy stuff there dude, i Alway used nVidia ever since the GeForce 3 Ti 500 came out and owned 6 nVidia cards since than, and 3 nForce Motherboards, never had/wanted anything ATI untill this Notebook opened my eyes.

BTW, There are games that say "It's Meant To Be Played" and wen you Benchmark them they run much better on an ATI card...

One highly placed source at ATI says yes, support folks say no.

S!

It is true. Dataa of symptoms, how to reproduce them etc. was given via proper channels and ATI did respond. This is a fact. So we have to wait and see what they find out.

I hope you check Bencmarks from games before you do, and than think if its worth the extra money compaired to a HD5870... so far from the Game benches ive seen its not worth the money at all.
That it scores really great in a Benchmark like Unique Heaven DX11 doesnt mean a thing for gaming performance, there are no games yet (non in development also) using that technology.

If the Prices and Game Benchmarks are true i wouldnt be suprised if 2011 starts with out nVidia, dont think anyone would want to pay twice as much compaired to a HD5870 for less than 5% gain, in some games it seems the HD5870 is even faster then the GTX 480.

And for 3D or PhysX alone... AMD/ATI is working on 3D drivers, and there about to release there Physics engine.

But we just have to wait till some more Benches show up that are reliable from difrent games, and what the real price is on the Fermi.

Decieded not to post anymore in this thread but couldn't ressist,
Very intresting stuff here to read betwee lines:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=8

IL-2/SoW wise looks to be still NV's but a lot of money to spend.
It may be that 2 ATI cards can out deliver what 1 NV card does with better efficiency and better performance to $ ratio.

My money is still waiting for ATI improved drivers and NV 4x0 power consumption and heat...
