ATI versus NVidia

[Hellman]

Hi guys.

So far I'm not getting good numbers at all. I was running a GT 240 1gb with the original IL2:FB and getting 30-60FPS. I had 2x HD4870's but the open gl shaders for those were crap a year ago and was getting 10fps. Not good after spending £600 on cards!

Obviously the GT240 is crap with COD and gets 4-5fps on Lowish settings but I bought it for IL2:FB.

My question is this...... I was looking at getting a GTX580 which, with the coming COD improvements, should see me get a very high frame rate.

But,

After reading madfin's comment on upgrading his ATI card I'm thinking HD6970. The problem is that our squad will still be flying FB for years to come and my ATI experience with it has been less than good. I want a card suitable for both games.

Will a newer ATI card(the 6970, say) sort it so that I can run both games smoothly? Is it that ATI now have better drivers/shaders etc?

Or should I just pay the money and get a gtx 570 or 580?

Oh, my resolution is 1920x1200.
