Not sure. =0 may be a bit heavy for your card, so try =2 first.

BTW - remember that using the IL-2 Setup program again will overwrite settings made by manually editing conf.ini - so avoid using it again.

Is it better to select 'custom' in the Video IL2 Set Up menu (if a card is not listed), make all changes in the config file and leave the Catalyst settings at default (other than the ones mentioned)?

Yes, that's basically it. You can set up everything using manual editing. It's especially important if you have set up a wide screen config like 1900x1200, as any use of the setup.exe will rewrite the config file to 800x640 @ 16bit reso.

Uncheck 'Use application settings' for AA & AF in your CCC. 4x is a good setting to start with for both these effects.

Thanks for that Brando, really helpful. The 'Screen Tearing' appears to be related to FPS exceeding the refresh rate according to articles on this problem. I notice that you set Triple Buffering and enable 'Wait for V sync' (which is supposed to overcome the screen tearing) but where in CCC V10.8 do you enable these options.? Cannot find them at all.............

In the 3D settings, select 'All'. Use the sidebar to scroll down to "Wait for vertical refresh" (Set to On) and then scroll on down to OpenGL setting, check "Triple buffering" on.

Glad you found the stuff helpful m8

Many thanks Brando, no more screen tearing and silky smooth lookaround with V sync and triple buffering enabled

I have the 5670 maxed out on 'Perfect' (OpenGL) with the Mods Pack Perfect Textures installed - FPS performance is pretty good for a mid priced card so no longer disappointed with it.
