Is your 4870 a 1 GB model? If so, can you help me out by running some benches, see here:

I'm running 4870 1GB also. Even though this is an older card than 5 series, tends to get better performance than 5870, 5770 etc. Look at passmark results. Should perform very well on the low\med settings.

The only thing, im having problems getting the AA to work, in catalyst control and in the game settings, i have heard a few other people saying the AA is not working for them, i will take a look at the other threads to see if there is a way to force it etc.

Thanks

Our card keeps pace with a lot of the newer ones, and ive only a 512 model

Personally, i experienced an about 10-20 FPS less with AAx8, comparing in no AA. But i didn't see any graphic improves. I even found that my graphics were better without !! (looking at the glass roof's structure...) So obviously i deactivated it too..

4870 seems to be a very good middle aged stuff, i found some benchmarks that were using it as a reference (even if it's outclassed now by new cards...)

But thats even better . See the link above and run the benches if you can. Would be great to compare 512Mb with 2GB card, other things being as equal as possible.

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.

And after reading more on this tread I'm moving towards a GTX580, or would 2 x 570's be a better option? Not really worried about the cost so much.
